On Raw Denim: Uniqlo's Pure Blue Japan Collection

It's really difficult to find the perfect pair of jeans, isn't it?

We try on different styles from different brands, skinnies, straights, boyfriends, and pay ridiculous amounts of money for premium denim that feels like you've owned them forever.

However, new offerings from Uniqlo's Pure Blue Japan collection will solve all your denim woes.

Their latest special collection is pretty much the perfect transitional wardrobe - great chambray button downs, comfy sweatshirts and t-shirts, denim jackets, and most of all - perfect fit raw denim jeans. And those babies are under $80.

This is also the first time Uniqlo has offered Selvedge denim for women - for those of you who don't know, Selvedge is a type of raw denim characterized by that finished edges (see that bit of red and white on the cuff there? That's prevents fraying). Usually you'll find folks wearing them cuffed to show that off. It's a pretty cool detail, and worth it to invest in jeans that won't fall apart. Uniqlo's Selvedge is made by Kaihara, one of the oldest denim looms in Japan. Normally jeans like these run for over $100, so Uniqlo's are a super good deal.

Plus, they're super comfy and fit like a glove. Count me in. Loving them cuffed with a pair of wedges and a chunky sweater or sweatshirt, or the denim shirts unbuttoned or tied over a comfy tee.

4 for you, UNIQLO

I will never need another tshirt again.

I don't know if y'all have heard of Uniqlo - it's a Japanese brand that's expanding in the US like wildfire - seriously, they're gonna be everywhere soon. Their main thing is boss basics and easy everyday clothes, but they've been doing a lot of really cool collaborations lately with the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art here in New York), Pharrell Williams and his i am Other campaign, Disney, and designers like Jonathan Adler and Ines de la Fressange.

So I went and picked up a ton of tshirts, because I really have trouble with tops that aren't tshirts, so I wear them with everything. I'm all about tees with ladylike skirts for summer. Great thing is, these tees from Uniqlo are super comfy and easy to style. You'll notice I cut the necks off some of them - I fully encourage DIYing tshirts and making them your own. And these tshirts are made to be lived in (boyfriend is wearing his Star Wars UT like every day and its still the softest shirt he owns). But anyway, I'm really pleased with these. 4 for you, Uniqlo. 4 for you.
