New Line and Free Jeans from Armani Exchange

Do you want free jeans? I need to twist your arm, right? Armani Exchange is running a promotion. One pair of jeans will be given away per day in July when you text A|X>. Simply text “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264) and you will be in the running. With my luck, I won’t win a darn thing. If you are like me, you will buy jeans anyhow and if you win, it is a pleasant bonus.
Recently, Armani Exchange introduced a new line of Premium Denim starting at $98.00. There are classic looks, as well as styles that you can be sure your friends won’t have. I am glad that designers are finally offering an alternative to jeans that look like you have been dragged behind the southbound end of a northbound horse. Sure, you can get that if you like, but there are other options now. At left, we see the new painted style. The painted jeans are not what was offered a few years ago, when you saw flames or hearts. These are more textural. I still think the jeans give you people the impression that you were in a chemical spill, but then I can be a fuddy duddy sometimes.
At center, is a most unusual ladies style called the “Harem Jean.” They are a variation on the capri, as they are much shorter and feature a faux blouson effect. The VintageGent-ette believes they were made for no one except gals who have skinny legs. Otherwise, they may cut you off and make your legs look shorter than they are, perhaps. Just wear them with an open backed shoe versus tennis shoes. At right, is the J65, the Overdyed Zipper Straight Leg. They grind the jeans to create some of the effects. It will set you back about $145.00, but features an unusual zipper configuration which appeals to the former grunge rocker in me. Truth be told, I was never a grunge rocker. However, I had a particular preference for boots with an infinite number of zippers.
In addition, there is a sale going on where you can afford to buy more jean for your money. However, if the pair you fancy is not on sale, they have another offer. When you buy a non sale item at regular price through July 19th, you will receive a gift card towards a future purchase of $100 or more. You must use the gift certificate between July 30th and August 15th. The offer is both valid in the store and online.
