Get Fitted at BUCKLE! A personalized shopping experience…

6 Jun

Have you been to Buckle (Level 1)? I shopped there for the first time the other day and can’t stop talking about my experience…

Located on Level 1

Check out what was waiting for me when I arrived — A dressing room stocked with denim, cute tops and even shoes!

My Dressing Room

It’s all part of Buckle’s Get Fitted program. You can make an appointment for a complimentary personal shopping experience. An associate will ask you for your size and a little about yourself. Then, when you arrive, a full dressing room will be waiting for you. As you try on everything, the associate will get a sense of what you like and don’t like and make even more suggestions. I felt completely spoiled!

On Trend Designs

Buckle has a boutique feel. There is often just one size of each style in-store and new designs arrive daily.  If you see something you like, and your size isn’t available, it can be special ordered. For a short person like me, it was welcome news to learn that jeans can be altered free of charge!

Free alterations on jeans!

Along with the countless styles of jeans for both men and women, some of the store’s top trends of the season include neons and bright colors, tribal influenced prints, and designs with glitz and sparkle. You’ll find one-stop shopping for summer essentials like shorts, swimwear, tanks, shoes and accessories!

Love the Tangerine!

Head to Toe Style!

Here’s a look at a few fun finds for your feet!

Statement shoes

I had to try on these!

The best part about the Get Fitted program is that I tried on clothes and shoes that I would have never found on my own, like the short grey cowboy boots.

One of the outfits picked out for me!

Another outfit from my dressing room!

Buckle also has a layaway program. You can do all of your shopping for the season at once, put 20% down and space out your purchases over 60 days.

Here’s a look at the men’s side of the store.

Men’s Styles

Plaid Possibilities!

I scored a great pair of denim shorts and will definitely be back. I’m still thinking about the grey boots and a dozen or so other pieces.

Denim is a Buckle staple!

It pays to visit the store often. I’m told about 200 styles arrive EVERY week.

Have you been to Buckle? Let me know if you try out the Get Fitted program!

The PERFECT Jeans for your Body! Tips from Levi’s

29 May

When I went into Levi’s (Level 2) to ask what styles of jeans work best on different body types, I couldn’t believe what I learned!

I think I must have asked three times just to be sure that I heard correctly what I’m about to tell you ….

Located on Level 2

According to store manager, Zach Deal, “All jeans can look good on ALL body types!”

Zach explains that’s because Levi’s takes a customized approach when it comes to a woman’s curves.

Let’s say you want a pair of skinny jeans. Whether you’re a size 2 or 12, you can select from a Slight Curve, Demi Curve or Bold Curve design.  Here’s a look at the Modern Skinny style in each Curve cut.

Modern Demi Curve Skinny Jeans

Modern Bold Curve Skinny Jeans

Levi’s also takes the guesswork out of figuring out which curve cut is right for you. You can get measured right in the store. It only takes a couple minutes. An associate will measure your waist and hips over the top of your clothes. The difference between the two numbers helps to determine which curve you should try.

Someone wearing a Slight Curve style will have the least amount of difference between waist and hip measurements and have more of a straight shape.   Zach says most women fall into the Demi Curve category.

The Demi Curve

The Bold Curve is cut smaller at the waist and left roomier in the seat.  Sometimes women who wear this cut will find that their jeans are typically too tight in the seat and gap at the waist.

The Bold Curve

Zach says that women will often assume that they should wear the Bold Curve if they have a thicker build. That’s not always the case. It’s not about size but instead is based on curves.

The three curve designs are available in store on skinny, boot cut skinny and straight jean styles.  If you pop into Levi’s, check out the new ankle length skinnies. They’re perfect for summer and can be cuffed and worn as capris. The white ones are calling my name.

Perfect for Summer

Men can also select from different styles and fits.

Beyond finding out about the three curve cuts for women, I also learned something else new! Zach explains that Levi’s, which are made from a durable cotton, can be worn many times before washing. If you get a small stain on your jeans before you’re ready to wash them, he recommends a spot clean. If they need just a little freshening, Zach suggests hanging them outside for a bit or putting them in a plastic bag in your freezer. When you do wash your Levi’s, wash them inside out in cold water and never put them in the dryer.
