Fall 2013 denim trends: coated jeans

Coated jeans first appeared on store shelves and on the street in the fall of 2012. Although the style found popularity, it was in the shadows of printed jeans and colored skinnies. For fall 2013, the coated jean is the new colored skinny; and it has risen to the top of the denim pack.

Coated jeans are everywhere for fall 2013, and they have turned into the fresh alternative to the tired colored denim or denim skinny trend. Coated jeans still feature seasonal colors, but what sets them apart from regular colored denim is the wax coating.

This season jeans, specifically pants, not jackets, shirts, vest or skirts, are coated. The coating seems as though it would be sticky when first touched, but in reality the coating is waxy without being slick. This gives denim pants a sheen which dresses up the overall of the jeans without elevating them past casual.

The fabulous thing about coated jeans is that they can be paired with biker boots and a sweater on a casual weekend day, paired with loafer pumps and a blazer for “Casual Friday” at the office or spiced up with heels and a clutch for evening. Versatility = love!

If there is one pair of jeans you need to buy for fall 2013, it is a coated pair of jeans. Of course the ultimate pair to own would be in black, but if you prefer a little bit more color, burgundy, forest green or brown are fabulous shades to take you through the autumn season.

My favorite coated denim is the coated denim collection from the Gap. They fit well, come in a variety of colors, offer great quality and are reasonably priced. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s new fall 2013 beauty collection, “Dark Spell,” includes a fabulous new collection of lipsticks; “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour.” This amazing new line of lipsticks is offered in three types; sheer, matte and cream.
The new  “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” collection offers twelve lip colors which work perfectly with the current beauty and color trends for the fall 2013 season. In addition to blending well with current trends, the collection offers classic appeal which transcends trends. Love that!
When Laura Mercier sent me “Myth,” which is one of the matte lip colors from the  “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour.” collection, I was thrilled! This is a beautiful, neutral, dark beige hue which works well with fall’s color palette. I especially like how “Myth” compliments apparel in shades of red, orange, burgundy, yellow and brown.
I tested “Myth” by not applying any lip balm in the morning. I went straight to applying “Myth” on my lips. The lipstick was moisturizing and long lasting. “Myth” stayed put and looked smooth all day long! Love it! I am definitely looking forward to adding more colors from Laura Mercier’s new  “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” collection to my beauty collection and I highly recommend adding it to yours!
