Tis the season to impress! With the holidays fast approaching, we know finding the perfect thing to wear for every soiree can be a challenge. For gals, of course, you don’t want anything over-the-top yet you certainly don’t want to look underdressed either. A festive cocktail dress is always a safe choice but did you ever consider throwing jeans into the mix? Unlike the wear-once party dress, jeans can be worn many different ways. Pairing them with a few festive elements—lush velvets, rich jewel tones, crisp winter whites or sequined sparkles can give you that sophisticated pop, ideal for the holidays. Don’t worry we’re not forgetting the guys! To look hip in denim this season, choose a classic, un-distressed pair of black denim and pair with a preppy but modern button up. Accessorize with a great watch and some snazzy loafers for a fun twist on holiday dressing. See for yourself what exactly we’re talking about, check out our ideas below:

When it comes to wintertime many people’s first thought is snow. Here in San Francisco that can only mean one thing, a trip to Lake Tahoe! To discover the key to staying chic and warm we searched out our favorite style bloggers who live in cold places. Despite their different outfit styles, The Girl With the Messy Hair, Atlantic-Pacific, Cheetah is the New Black, and the girls on Altamira, all share certain elements: jeans, boots, and a great jacket. Denim is perfect for this use – not only is it comfortable under ski pants but it holds it’s shape and looks cute back at the cabin or out shopping the many boutiques in the town of South Lake Tahoe (or any ski resort) itself. So don’t settle for bulky jackets and sneakers for your ski trip – these girls prove it’s easy to be stylish in the snow.

Food blogger Sara Tso believes in “combining style and sustainability in everyday life, from the food you eat to the clothes you wear. ” Over on her blog, Matchbox Kitchen, she treats her readers to great food and the occasional outfit post. With her delicious recipes (and gorgeous food photography) we knew we had to ask for some tips to celebrate the holidays:
1. What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? How do you plan to celebrate the holiday?
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is pumpkin pie! It’s my favorite kind of pie but I save it for this occasion to make it even more special. My boyfriend and I recently moved out and we will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. Along with our family members, we spend all day eating, drinking, and cooking!
2. What will you be cooking? Any particular food you’re looking forward to?
I will be making bread from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a day and Martha Stewarts pumpkin cream pie. I always look forward to all the traditional foods like turkey and cranberry sauce, but my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is having leftovers! Turkey sandwiches with all the fixings (gravy, cranberry sauce, brussels sprouts, caramelized onions and whatever else I might want to add) are my specialty.
3. What’s your best piece of advice or time-saving tip for a home cook this holiday season?
Make sure to break up the dinner into smaller tasks so everyone else can help out. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! The most fun occasions are when everyone is buzzing around the kitchen. I like to prepare items in advance such as making the bread dough ahead of time, setting the table the night before, and washing and cutting the vegetables.
4. Comfort is key when you’re digging into a big Thanksgiving meal, how would you style jeans for the occasion?
I would wear a loose fitting blouse to be comfortable but put together, then dress it up a little with simple, elegant jewelry from elephantine. Then I’ll slip on a pair of moccasins and put on a chunky knit cardigan to cozy up with a cup of tea after dinner.
So don’t forget – check out Sara’s blog Matchbox Kitchen and enjoy all the wonderful things she’s cooking up!

This holiday season most of us will spend some time traveling. Packing for the holidays can be a challenge, but we think our newly redesigned trouser jeans in black denim will help you skip right to the ‘fun and festivities’ part of your trip! The beauty of trouser jeans is that they can be worn for numerous types of occasions (formal or informal), and have you always feeling dressed perfectly for every event. These versatile pants combine the comfort of denim (for those long plane rides) and sleek tailoring perfect for running around town and for the big dinner itself. Don¹t believe us? Check out our ideas on how to take one pair of trouser jeans from the terminal to the table.

We hope with this complete re-design, we have made it that much easier for every INDIvidual to get top quality, premium custom jeans.

As you’ll see on the site, we want are aiming to celebrate the diversity of our customers, across both body types and styles, and capturing this was a big part of our focus with the shoot. Now that the re-launch secret is out, we can finally show you some of our favorite behind-the-scenes shots of the process.

It’s finally starting to feel like Fall since November’s cold front is in full force. This only means that we get to bundle up and wear more jackets, sweaters, scarfs and blazers paired with our jeans. One of our favorite pairings here at INDi is wearing our skinny jeans with a fall essential= boots! We live in them, day-in and day-out, and we’re always on the lookout for the latest styles and greatest ways to wear them. And since there are so many different styles of boots, we felt the need to break it down for you piece by piece. Here, we’ve rounded up some street-style winners to give you inspirational outfits and help you decide what boots to rock your skinnies with this fall.
Lace-up boots can give that rock and roll feel, wear them with a good pair of slim-dark wash jeans to get that tough-girl look, add lots of layers and a pop of unexpected color
Slouchy- Make sure to wear your best fitting skinnys with these boots. With these boots, comfort is key. Try wearing them with jeans and a structured bomber jacket.
Ankle Wedges- always modern and edgy, this boot is favored by many fashion-forward women because they give emphasis on your legs. It creates a slimming effect when you pair them with your skinny jeans. Pair yours with some true basics, making the focus of your outfit on the shoe.
Riding —pretty much any equestrian boots will never go out of style—so if you’re looking for a more classic look, then this is for you. They make your legs longer and leaner, pair yours with a warm sweater and a scarf.

Brad Pitt has come a long way since his days modeling for levis. We love a guy who dresses just right and Brad seems to be the perfect example of this. Over the years, Brad has mastered an easy-going style often pairing his jeans with true classics (think tailored dress shirts, leather jackets, blazers). He never appears to be trying too hard yet he still seems pretty rugged and masculine in his outfits. That’s why today, at INDI we are taking a look at how Brad Pitt’s denim style evolved.
Brad starts out with a very playful style during the 80s and 90s, never taking himself too seriously. In the turn of the millennium (and when his career and personal life becomes highly profiled), Brad sticks to wearing everyday basics, pictured pairing his white button up shirt with dark jeans. He never looks contrive or stuffy either. Case in point: he leaves the top button of his shirts undone, he keeps patterns understated and he rarely wears a tie. When it comes to fashion, the only thing that Brad isn’t afraid to experiment in is his hair…just like in the premiere of his film Mr. and Mrs. Smith where he dyed his hair platinum. Although with a leather jacket and some great fitting jeans, Brad still manages to pull the rugged look . He maybe labeled as one of the world’s biggest movie stars but Brad often chooses refreshingly down-to-earth ensembles instead of over the top outfits and his style just keeps getting better and better each year.
