For some of us spring break is here and it’s time to get packing! However regardless of your schedule everyone needs a vacation sometime! Take a peek at this handy guide below on how to pack light (we’re talking one suitcase light) for a weeklong trip. Start your basic pieces, like dark wash jeans that can be dressed up or down, and basic shirts in patterns that compliment one another. Accessories in a variety of colors and shapes will help remix your outfits without taking up too much space. Limiting yourself in the shoe department will also help keep things manageable – be realistic about where you’ll be and don’t pack your whole closet. Check out our portable chart below for even more packing tips:

Tall girls everywhere have dealt with the frustration of trying to find jeans (or pants of any sort) that fit and have a long enough inseam. But just because you fall into the tall height category does not mean that your body is shaped the same way as another tall girl. At INDi you can finally get the right long inseam, but what styles should you look for beyond length? For example, if you have a long torso pick jeans with a higher rise or vice versa if you have a shorter torso opt for a rise that sits lower on the waist. Recognizing and balancing your proportions is the simplest way for tall girls to each look heir best. One size styling does not fit all but a good rule of thumb for tall girls is to keep the jeans very clean and straight. Accentuate your long legs (most girls would love to have them!) with jeans that fit snugly through the hips and thighs. From skinny to straight leg, pick the fit you are most comfortable with but opt for an undistressed wash like a rinse or solid color to pack the most punch visually. Of course the most important issue is length, no one wants to look like they’re waiting for a flood. With more options then ever on the market, including custom inseams from INDi, tall girls should ditch the headache and enjoy pants shopping.

We are excited to announce the return of women’s white denim for spring 2012. Our orchid white is a lightweight stretch denim with a flat finish for a bright, clean look. Perfect for the warmer months, white denim is surprisingly versatile and looks great in a variety of cuts. And with INDi’s unique customization process you can choose to have your white denim in any style you want. One of our favorite white denim trends for spring is a pair of flare jeans worn over a wedge sandal. Another cute white jeans style is a skinny leg paired with sandals and a bright top. But whatever cut you prefer, update your look this spring with white denim!

Jeans can be cuffed many different. So how do you decide which cuff is the best one for your jeans and shoes? None of us want to look too retro and straight out of the ‘80’s. Cuffs should only be worn on skinny, narrow or boyfriend jeans. On any other cut it makes the jean look too long for you. So we decided to use our denim expertise and make a handy little chart below to help solve the dilemma:

Skinny Flip—This single roll is perfect for skinny jeans in spring and summer. One skinny flip will create an ankle crop jean, when paired with flats this is a classic style.
Double Flip—Worn with a bootie this double cuff will keep you jeans the right length (no bunching!) and show off your on trend shoes.
Tucked Cuff—This pegged cuff is best used on a boyfriend jean to accentuate your ankles. To slim the overall proportion of the jeans pair with a pointy toe pump.
Don’t forget – cuffing isn’t only for the ladies! Guys also can rock this trend to draw attention to their cool shoes or fun socks. So how do you cuff your jeans?

Today on the INDi blog we wanted to spotlight some guys with serious style and talk about fit. Most guys fall into the jean and t-shirt category, with a button-up shirt considered an upgrade for a more formal occasion, but all these guys take their style a step further:
From L to R: 1, 2, 3, 4
Pairing slim dark wash jeans, similar to our Telegraph Slim and raw denim fabric, with functional yet stylish accessories and well fitting shirts and jackets proves what we always say at INDi: Fit is the most important beginning to an outfit. Clothes that fit properly can make you look ten pounds lighter, and while we focus on custom fit jeans, it’s important to get proper sizes all over. As Clinton Kelly from What Not to Wear famously described “Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered [...] ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit. That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over.” Custom jeans can be your first step in the right direction.

At INDi we wear jeans (almost) everyday, so for us casual denim work ensembles are second nature. The key is switching up your accessories, denim washes, and cuts so that every day feels fresh and new. Since it is still cool weather here in San Francisco layers are also important to get the perfect balance of functional and stylish. Here is my guide to 5 days of denim outfits. The looks all share a common theme – they are work appropriate but don’t give up any personality. Starting on Monday with Kezar black flares through Friday with Union light blue bootcuts here is (what we like to call) 5 days of INDi jeans:

Wearing denim for date night is the perfect way to be both comfortable and stylish. Because jeans can be dressed up or down so they are ideal for any plans. We had some fun putting together two looks (we even did one for you guys - so pay attention!) Since rinse denim is always in style, we chose a high rise wide leg pair for the ladies and a rinse classic fit for the men. Simply pairing these jeans with a nice blouse and fitted button up makes them ready for a night out on the town. Who says you can’t be both chic and comfortable? These were our thoughts on denim for date night – but how do you style your jeans?

This is an exciting time of year if you enjoy fashion. At INDi we’ve been checking out all the fashion week runway shows and have picked out some of our favorite trends. Quirky printed pants and colorful suits were a popular alternative to boring work wear. Also bold colors, including cobalt blue and stark black and white, dominated many shows. Fall/Winter 2012 is going to be all about strong statement pieces. What trends did you love or hate?
