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!

Last week I posted about a fabulous new denim company; Rose Royce Clothing. This amazing new designer denim brand makes fabulous jeans which fit right, are soft, comfortable and have unique stiches and details. The floral buttons are my favorite touch! Every style of Rose Royce jeans has a different pocket design which makes it easy to own multiple pairs; no two look alike yet they all have the same fabulous fit! Love that!

In these photos I am wearing Rose Royce’s bootcut “Jessalyn” pants. I love how they fit and I love the details on the pockets, as well as the hem. Amazing!

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we love denim. Let’s face it, San Francisco is the birthplace of the denim pant as know it! Therefore, anytime there is a fabulous new denim company in the world of jeans, I have to try them out!

Rose Royce jeans is a hot new denim company who designs unique styles with fabulous pockets! I love this! No-one wants boring pockets, denim pants are ALL about the pockets! And the fit too 

What makes Rose Royce unique is the fact that the pockets vary on each style of denim the company makes. This means you can buy multiple pairs of great-fitting jeans from the same brand and no two pairs will look alike! Love that!

In this article I am wearing the black Rose Royce “Royce” skinny jean. I love the flower buttons on the front and back, as well as the fit! The jeans offer a little bit of stretch which helps them fit perfectly and feel comfortable. Rose Royce fit true to size too; which makes ordering online easy.

Contest: Rose Royce has assembled together fourteen fashionable and fabulous bloggers in a style contest! The bloggers photos’ are on Rose Royce’s Facebook Page and the blogger who receives the most “likes” on their profile picture in the slideshow will win a prize! So now, I must do some shameful begging and ask you to pop over to the slideshow and cast your vote for who you think styled their Rose Royce jeans the best. The contest slideshow is online here.
