JBrand and Boy Meets Girl Sale in Montreal

There was a JBrand Jeans (http://www.jbrandjeans.com/) sale from the 10th to the 13th of September on Meilleur street (in the Chabanel district). All of us girls from "514 Street Chic" went to the sale on its opening night. I can't say that the sale was amazing, BUT there was a wide and thorough selection of jeans, which is the main reason we went to the sale! They had all the most popular styles, in all sizes and colors.

Here's a sample of jeans from JBrand Jeans:




Pencil jeans - JBrand; as seen on Ashley Simpson.





Love Story - JBrand; as seen on Kate Moss (to die for colour!!!)






Skinny Jeans - JBrand; as seen on Vanessa Hudgens.

Sabby V bought a pair of Pencil jeans in black and Skinny jeans in dark blue. BleuXu bought Cigarette jeans in faded grey, with yellow stitching. She wore them to work on Friday with a yellow cardigan and leopard scarf and looked fab!
I bought the Skinny in blue and Love Story dark blue. The Love Story jeans have been seen on many celebs and I fell in love with them when I saw them on Kate Moss in the picture above! Sabby V also owns a pair of Love Story's, that she purchased at a previous JBrand sample sale).

JBrand jeans are extremely comfortable and easy to wear all day and all night. They are made with stretch, and so there is ease of movement in them when worn. One tip we can offer everybody is to get their jeans one size smaller because, as with many jeans (if not all), they stretch after being worn. For myself, I wish I'd gotten the Skinny in one size smaller! They stretched out a bit after I wore them once, and now I have to wear them with a belt. Otherwise, it feels like they are slowly creeping down my hips, with the crotch piece feeling like it's at my knees (okay, an exaggeration, but never a fun feeling nevertheless!)

Another tip, if you're going to wear denim to work, we suggest dark jeans without tears (so NOT professional if you have a tears going up and down your legs and/or behind!). Trouser jeans are also good for work. The Pencil, Skinny and Love Story would all be appropriate for work, and can look uber professional if paired with the right-smart top!

The trends for this season are blue-black jeans, denim leggings, and torn jeans. As well, the boyfriend jeans is still in. Basically, this season, all denims goes!
The prices at the sale were good, given that JBrand jeans are designer jeans and usually go for at least double what they were selling for at the sale. The samples jeans (size 25) were even less expensive, and a great bargain at that!

Unfortunately, at the time I write this, the sale is now over. But good news is: there's one every season! We'll keep you posted for future sales!
