Acid washed jeans / bleached jeans

[AD080119]

I love these Siwy jeans in "superstition" wash but I'm too scared to buy them. I'm worried the wash will make my legs look bigger.

Oh lord no, hello 1990. They're just not cute, or attractive on anyone!

If you want to "test out" how the wash will look on you, they're a pretty easy DIY you can do with an old pair of jeans. Link for directions: http://www.thatsjustmyvibe.com/2008/08/bleached-jeans-how-to.html
If you wanted a more "splattered" effect like that Siwy pair, I think you could get away with spraying the bleach out of a spray bottle + the squirting method. I just did a couple pairs and they turned out nicely. And as far as them making your legs look bigger, it didn't have that effect on me but I do have scrawny chicken legs...

I seen an amazing pair of acid wash jeans in Nylon magazine in the August 2007 denim issue. I dont know if im being blind but i oddly cant find who they are by. For anyone who has that issue the jeans im talking about are on page 60

I did some bleaching in a black pair of skinny jeans I wasn't using anymore, the bleach wasn't strong so it turned to a black/brown almost orange bleach, really crazy, but better than i thought it would be!

you're brave, I'm too scared to try on a pair of jeans. Not even the ones I never wear ! haha

I'm loving them! I just bought Topshop's high waisted bleach acid skinnies!

I'm not sure I could pull off very acid washed/ bleached jeans. So I think I might try a pair like balgal has above or these ones from Jordache

 

[plexo]

don't work.

I did DIY bleached jeans too, inspired by the Balmain spring/summer collection 09.

I have DIY directions on my blog as well (check the link below).

I really like it !
the acid wash is rubbing on me. I still can't find a right pair for me.

I like the tie dye jeans. I bought a pair at Mango. I'll post a pic soon I think.

Eh, I don't like the overall look of them. If I HAD to wear a pair, the acid wash would have to be MINIMAL.

Acid wash always reminds me of the newer generation of punks they seem to be wearing them, or This is England, I dont think I would wear them, I think acid wash is something you wear if your part of some kind of counter cultural gang!

I think they look great on other people, just not my personal style. But I think my fellow blogger Jessie would look fab in them. I tend to stay with the classics.

i love it as an ageing effect..
rather than a kind of pattern..

has a beautiful grain..

i have pants that look like it
but they are actually tiny tie-dyed threads creating these soft stripes
from far away, they look light grey or acid washed

 

[lesypersound]

^ do you have an online example of this effect?

 

[gius]

do you mean the pants i have?
or the distressed/aged effect...

 

[lesypersound]

the effect you were describing--"tiny tie-dyed threads creating these soft stripes". def interested in seeing the effect close up or a super hi-res of the garment from an online shop or something. :]
