Support Breast Cancer Research

It is time once again for People Magazine’s Style Issue. The October issue is packed with great tips for the Fall. There is also a buying guide for Breast Cancer Awareness you should check out towards the back. C.O Bigelow is making a lotion called Cancer Vixen. Their stuff is great – makes for very smooth skin. Ok wait….this is a clothing site huh? Ok, back to clothes. Wrangler is donating a portion of the proceeds from this Tough Enough shirt to Breast Cancer Research. Stylish, and it benefits cancer research. This could be the best $21.97 you spend all Fall!

Back to that style issue I was perusing the other day – the folks over at People list Levi’s® 524™ jeans as a great buy at under $50…in fact, they put the price tag at $40. Someone over there really needs to hit Langstons.com. Check out the huge variety of 524s™ at the Levi’s® Juniors section – and they are all under $30! And if you are wondering if the “boots over skinny jeans” look is still in for this Fall – yes, it is. There are many pics in this style issue showing it. Skinny and straight leg jeans both with boots, flats and heels. And still lots of bootleg jeans and boyfriend cut jeans too. So really, what I got out of this issue was that jeans are a mainstay for this fall YEAH!!! I love jeans.

Men’s Levi’s® Jeans Showcase (10% Off Coupon)

We’ve added many new Levi’s® jeans styles and finishes for the fall. To make things easy, we’re just going to focus on our new Men’s Levi’s® styles for this post.

There are a lot of great new looks this fall for Levi’s® jeans, and the focus is mainly on the slimmer, cleaner look that has become popular in the denim world. Also in line with today’s modern look, many of the finishes feature a darker and cleaner look as well. Not as much damage and even a little less in the way of fades. The raw denim look is in and many of our new finishes reflect that trend. So, first up we have:

Levi’s ® 514 ™ Slim Straight Jeans
Levi’s 514 Slim Straight Jeans - Roadie Levi’s 514 Slim Straight Jeans - Dark Polish
The 514™ jean from Levi’s® is becoming one of their most popular fits outside of the 501®. While not as slim as the 511™ Skinny jean (see below), the straight leg jean gives a clean and sophisticated look without any bag or sag. A very modern look and one that proves to be very popular this fall.

Levi’s ® 511 ™ Skinny Jeans
Levi’s 511 Skinny Jeans - Polar Levi’s 511 Skinny Jeans - Soft Rigid
The Levi’s® 511™ Skinny Jeans are the most fashion forward jeans in our new Red Tab line. The skinny leg and 14 3/4″ leg opening provides a very slim line and tight fit. The soft rigid finish (pictured on right) is great for someone wanting the ultimate clean raw look, without the rough feel of rigid denim.

Levi’s ® 512 ™ Slim Fit Jeans
Levi’s 512 Slim Fit Jeans - Clean Rinse Levi’s 512 Slim Fit Jeans - Vintage
The 512™ is also a slim fit jean. It’s not as skinny as the 511™, but, unlike the 514™, it has a tapered leg. This is a good jean for someone who wants to go slim, but isn’t ready to make the full jump to the 511™ or just doesn’t feel like they can pull off a skinny jean. The clean rinse (left) and vintage medium (right) finishes provide a good choice between the modern clean and dark look and a more classic vintage look.

Levi’s ® 539 ™ Men’s Vintage Straight ECO Jean
Levi’s® 539™ Men’s Vintage Straight ECO Jean
Go green and look good. The Levi’s® ECO jean has gotten a lot of attention from environmentally conscious bloggers and press. And judging from my recent trip to market, which dedicated a lot of floor space to green merchandise, this is not just a trend. Many love the quality and feel of organic cotton and the recycled denim fabrications let you know you’re doing your part to limit waste. And with the stylish vintage fit and the modern look of the clean and dark shadow finish, you certainly aren’t sacrificing any style for a good cause.

Levi’s ® 549 ™ Low Loose Jeans
Levi’s 549 Low Loose Jeans
If you like the fit of the 569™, but want a low rise jean, the 549™ Low Loose jean is perfect for you. The rigid broken finish is a great new finish for fall as well. It has the look of well worn raw denim. Urban. Casual. Modern. We expect big things from this jean this fall.

Levi’s ® 557 ™ Relaxed Boot Cut Jeans
Levi’s 557 Relaxed Boot Cut Jeans
Finally, a relaxed fit boot cut jean from Levi’s®. This has been long overdue in our opinion, and Levi’s® did not disappoint with the 557™. Sitting on the hip with a relaxed seat and thigh, it is comfortable, casual, and stylish all at the same time, while still fitting over your favorite pair of cowboy boots. The freebird finish is a great universal finish that is a medium cast denim with sanding and whiskers. You can now relax and wear boots with your Levi’s®.

Style at any age

In this month’s InStyle Magazine they have an article that’s aim is to keep us “Fashionably On Point – anywhere at any age.” The article really does not tell me how to look great during my 18-month old’s gymnastics class while I chase him around in a warehouse that tops 100 degrees – but it does have some style points that are worth reading. Mostly I looked at the advice for when wearing jeans – and of course I looked at all the ages they listed.

I mean, I was 20 something, am now 30 something, will be 40 something one day – and was just amazed at how great Iman looks, so I looked at the 50 something page too. Let’s start there – once you get over the shock that Iman is really over 50, check out how sheik she looks in jeans! She paired Levi’s ® 518 ™ with a simple t-shirt and a structured blazer – and she looks amazing! This look works for any age. For a younger version, try wearing a printed T-shirt under the blazer – there are some new cute ones on our women’s shirts page that would work great.

Next we move to the 40 somethings. Carrie – uh, I mean Sarah Jessica Parker – is shown in skinny jeans. The advice is that you need to pair them with something more upscale. I don’t think we need to go as far as Manolo Blahniks, but if you have them – go for it!!! For the rest of us, heels and a nice blouse will do the trick. I might also try rockin these black Justin Punchy Boots with my skinny jeans. You can try these straight leg jeans and the rumor is that we will be getting some new skinny jeans from Levi’s ® soon.

30 somethings. This is where I fit in. Right next to Penelope Cruz. I tell you, we are like twins! This page suggests pairing jeans with something tailored and fitted for an overall sleek look. I agree that this is the way to go. At 17 jeans and a well worn sweatshirt worked – but these days that look just isn’t cutting it. I’d go with these Lucky Brand Classic Rider Jeans. Looks like there are some good sizes left and for $59.97, that’s not bad for some Lucky’s in real people sizes. Pair it with a simple fitted t-shirt or in the winter with a slim sweater and you too will look like Penelope….well – maybe not, but you will look put together.

And last, the 20 somethings. I think at 20 you can pretty much pull any of these looks off. In Style shows Sienna Miller in tomboy tough jeans and what they call “soft English Countryside” on top. Umm – ok. Really she is just in a tee, a cardigan and a very over sized scarf. She completes the look with ankle boots. I am not really sure who can pull this look off other than her – and honestly she is not really doing it either. But it does show that a good pair of jeans can work with anything!

NY Times: Oklahoma City Booming with New Exuberance

View From Arts District - Oklahoma City

From time to time we like to share a little bit about where we’re from. It’s always nice to put a little personality on this too-often impersonal medium called the internet. To help tell you a little about what we’re “all about”, we like to point you to an article in today’s New York Times Travel section about Oklahoma City.

In a recent visit, the author found a city that mixes all the elements commonly associated with the Midwest, the West, and a bit of the South. From the “noirish-cool” Lobby Bar on Western Avenue to the “True West” setting of Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in the Oklahoma National Stockyards (just across the street from us!), the author really stretched his legs and dug into the many facets of the city. A visit to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, with its grand displays of western art, followed by a stop at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, with the largest permanent installation of Dale Chihuly glass sculptures including the 55 foot tall center piece in the museum’s atrium, reinforced that this is a place where many aspects of all types of “western” culture come together in a natural a seamless way.

And it wasn’t just the food and museums that gave him this impression. The author found that the people represented this mixture of cultures as well:

“While I was in town, a nationally known local psychedelic band, the Flaming Lips, screened a homemade movie and music extravaganza, “Christmas on Mars,” to a raucous crowd at the deadCENTER Film Festival. At the same time, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum was hosting a gathering of contemporary Western artists — imagine a group of people resembling the cast of a Sam Peckinpah movie with paintbrushes. There is also a frisson in the air over the news that the city has managed to snag a National Basketball Association franchise, with the SuperSonics moving here from Seattle next season. “

So, if you plan on visiting us soon or just want to know more about this place where all your Langston’s packages are coming from, check out the NY Times article here. For more pictures check out the Slide Show.

Country Weekly Fashion Show

Back in early June Country Weekly hosted their annual fashion show. Wrangler was one of the sponsors – which translated into lots of handsome men in perfect fitting jeans. Want to see for yourself? Check out these pics! These guys might be famous for their voices – but they way they look in jeans is right up there.

The Fashion Show benefited Musicians On Call, a great organization that delivers the healing powers of music to patients in need. I am positive music helps heal – but I think a hunk in some tight jeans would probably help me if I was ailing. Any of these great Wrangler Styleswould be perfect – add a shiny belt buckle, a hattipped just right and deep velvety voice – ah yes…I feel better all ready!
