The official start of spring is less than a month away and I am giddy with joy just thinking about warm weather, picnics, flip flops, and driving around with my windows down. But what about spring makes me more excited than anything? Why jeans of course!

I know what you’re thinking - jeans are exciting all year round. While I obviously couldn’t agree with you more, there’s something about light weight denim that adds a spring to my step.

So what can we look forward to this spring in the world of denim? This year, the warmer weather welcomes denim styles like ripped jeans. It’s a rugged look that more women are adopting, and spices up any outfit with a hint of rebellion in every tear.

Don’t worry about doing the ripping yourself: at indiDenim, you can customize your own ripped jeans to look as stylin’ as you see fit.

From runways to sidewalks, ripped jeans are already popping up all over, and as the weather gets warmer and you want to give your legs a little bit of breathing room this trendy look for Spring 2010 is the perfect way to emerge from your winter hibernation looking fierce.

Brace yourself, people. Apparently, so called “PajamaJeans” are the new rage. They are jeans for every woman who is “looking to indulge her inner couch potato.” So, what do we think of this trend? 

First, don’t be fooled. These pants are not denim. They’re actually made completely of cotton and spandex, but designed to look like jeans and of course, feel like sweat pants. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but we thought we’d help set the record straight.  If you remember the phenomenon that was “Jeggings” the makers of the PajamaJean are hoping to push a similar trend of comfort and pretend denim.

All I have to say about these is that if you feel like you need a pair of PJ Jeans to be comfortable, then your real jeans don’t fit you as they should. If you equate denim with discomfort, then this is a problemo. But it’s not your fault, really. Every person is shaped so differently that there’s no possible way that retailers can make jeans that fit everyone perfectly.

The good news: indiDenim is committed to making jeans that fit everyone perfectly. So rest assured, uncomfy denim wearers, we can make you custom jeans that fit and are comfortable too. And the best part is, you’ll be wearing high-quality, real denim.

Alright guys, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we know you may be scrambling for last minute gifts for your lucky lady. Trust us, we know that sometimes it can be hard to get creative, especially if you and your significant other have been together for many February 14ths.

So this year, indiDenim wants to help you out. The first thing you need to know: Women love jeans. If a woman slips into a great pair of jeans that fit, she’ll look good and more importantly, feel good too. So my challenge to you gentleman: For this Valentine’s Day, we want you to customize your girl a pair of jeans she’ll love. To do this right, you may have to actually measure her. This will clearly evoke some questions on her part such as, “What the heck are you doing?” But just tell her you have something special planned - she’ll love the idea that you’re thinking outside the box.

When you go through the customizing process on her behalf, be sure to use her closet for some style inspiration. Is she a dark denim boot cut type of girl? Does she like the skinny jean or a flare? Just peek through her current jean selection and you’ll get a good idea of what she likes.

After you’ve ordered, print out a picture of the great jeans you just customized and stick it in a card. Let your lady know that a pair of customized jeans just for her body are on their way (make that beautiful body, for extra points). Accessorize your card and this note with a bouquet of roses and you, sir, are set for a fabulous Valentine’s Day.

Please note: These may be appropriately festive but try not to go this nuts for the big day…

The earthquake that struck Haiti almost 2 weeks ago has devastated the world. Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas of the country have been demolished and the government believes that the death toll could rise to 300,000 people.

Here at indiDenim, we’ve taken the time to think about this humanitarian crisis and how jeans can help.  That’s why we’re proud to support the organization Fashion Delivers, which aims to bring together fashion industries to donate apparel to victims in need across the world. They were founded in 2006 and inspired to act after Hurricane Katrina struck.

Right now, Fashion Delivers is organizing efforts to send apparel and products to Haitians who have been affected by the earthquake and have lost everything. To help, they are calling for a broad assortment of clothing items—jeans included.

If you too would like to support Fashion Delivers and the people of Haiti, please visit their website and fill out the donation form listed at the bottom or the page. Haiti needs our help today and many days to come.
