Jeans are the most democratic pieces in the closet and can be used on countless occasions. Marked by versatility, it is possible to compose a basic look for everyday life or a more formal production for an important event, such as a job interview or a business meeting.
Jeans can have many variations that suit different situations, such as washing, cutting and modeling. The possibility of creating totally different pieces with a single fabric made big brands fall in the public’s taste, not to mention the comfort and practicality that jeans provide.
Although the variety is wide, it is not always easy to find a piece that has a perfect fit, especially when it comes to pants. The most difficult thing is to find jeans with the correct length and that fit the waist, usually they end up at the seamstress to shorten the hem or make a pence.
There are many brands of jeans on the market today, some quite popular, such as the brands of the big fast fashion chains and others that are less known, but which invest in differentials that add value to their pieces. We made a selection of 10 incredible brands of jeans that deserve our attention and admiration. Check out!
1. Amapo
The brand was created in 2004 by Carolina Gold and Pitty Taliani. Amapô’s proposal is to develop exclusive pieces with a focus on the young audience that is increasingly demanding and looking for a creative and original design. Amapô’s first big success was the unisex skinny jeans in a rough wash, preserving the fabric’s natural blue. It was a paradigm shift, when gender issues were not as debated as they are today.
2. Not Your Basic Denim
Not Your Basic Denim, as its name suggests, develops denim pieces that are not basic at all. Launched in 2015 by partners Martina Scaravaglioni and Mafê de Castro, the brand bet heavily on the trend of embroidered jeans and patches, with super colorful pieces that fell in the taste of bloggers and celebrities.
3. Jeans Awareness
The process of manufacturing jeans from denim is generally highly polluting and aggressive to the environment. This was the starting point for the creation of Consciência Jeans, a brand that has low environmental impact as its main guideline. Consciência Jeans also adopts a position favorable to female empowerment and the fight against gender inequality, reasons that make us admire the brand even more.
4. Yes I Am
Yes I Am is a brand from São Paulo that, with its pieces without many adornments, values comfort and utility. The option for few ornaments, classic modeling and washing that takes less chemical components allows creating timeless jeans that escape the ephemerality of trends, in addition to stimulating the concept of slow fashion and conscious consumption. Yes I Am also develops projects aimed at female empowerment and awareness of humanized work, such as “Be the Love of Your Life” and “Quem Faz Seu Jeans?”. The brand also makes it clear that, when buying any piece, the consumer will be taking home a genuinely Brazilian product that was made in a fully humanized way.
5. Martins.tom
Launched in 2016, Martins.tom is a jeans brand created by designer Tom Martins and architect Bruno Dalto. The brand’s pieces are very different from what we see in stores, they have a wide modeling that suits different biotypes and are linked to street culture, which can be clearly seen in the way the brand communicates. The founders of Martins.tom chose jeans as their focus because the fabric is democratic and versatile. Another differential is the low-scale production, aiming at exclusivity and encouraging slow fashion.
