“We want people to come back to the store, saying I love my MOTHER so much.”
- Tim Kaeding, co-founder of MOTHER

We couldn’t agree more with Tim Kaeding’s statement.  At Bliss, we believe in every jean that we sell in our stores and customer satisfaction is always our main focus - each and every day.  The truth be told... MOTHER makes our job easy.

If you walked into our stores and were looking for a new go-to jean for summertime, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend our wide-leg jeans from MOTHER.  Available in bleached out summery-washes, their fuller legs allow some breathing room during an unexpected heat wave.  (Nothing is worse than wearing slim-fitting jeans in 90 degree weather!)  Mix them in with your rotation of sundresses and cut-offs, and consider your summer wardrobe complete.

The Wilder - actress Rachel Bilson has been spotted numerous times wearing this trouser jean from MOTHER, both in real life and on the set of her hit TV series, Hart of Dixie.  If you’re a fan of her style, you’ll love these jeans!  With a 22 inch leg opening, this ultra-soft jean works for all occasions - casual Fridays at the office, summer picnics, or late-night drinks at Sonny’s.

Some may say that variety is the spice of life.  Personally, I have to agree - especially when it comes to one’s wardrobe.  If you live in your skinnies, switch it up with bootcut or flare jeans - I think you’ll be surprised at how refreshing a new look can be.  Plus, some of MOTHER’s key players are part of the bootcut and flare world. 

The Slacker - this jean demands attention with it’s clean lines and medium blue “honkytonk cinderella” wash.  It’s 8 inch rise and slim bootcut gives this jean a slightly provocative feel; pair them with some killer heels and you’ve got a winning look (just ask the cute boy who’s starring at you from across the room!).

The Outsider - MOTHER’s signature bootcut jean has been getting a lot of play in our stores lately.  Maybe it’s the sleek cut.  Maybe it’s the two incredible washes & fine details (“peppermint kisses” is my absolute favorite wash with light pink stitching and golden rose buttons).  Or maybe it truly is a denim essential.  I’ll let you decide! 

For today’s post, I’ll be shining some light on The Rascal - MOTHER's straight-leg jean.  Not quite a skinny or a bootcut, I feel as if straight-leg jeans are often overlooked... when, in my opinion, they are the most versatile jeans out there!  Having some doubts?  Just try finding something they don’t go with.

With a 7.5 inch rise, 31.5 inch inseam and a 14 inch leg opening, these jeans work for a wide range of body types.  Most of the straight-leg jeans that we carry have a longer inseam (32-33 inches), so many of our customers are thrilled to find a jean that doesn’t require a trip to the tailor’s.  In fact, most customers love the fit, feel and length so much that they end up asking to wear them home (and I can’t say I blame them!).  Available in a dark wash called “aka goddess,” don’t be surprised when these jeans make you feel just as the name implies!  You owe it to yourself to give this style a try.

{Tell me: Do you own a pair of straight-leg jeans already?  Which style of MOTHER jeans do you like best so far?}  I look forward to hearing from you - especially since a comment qualifies you to win a FREE pair of jeans!  Not a bad trade-off if you ask me!

Here in Maine & New Hampshire, we rely on this specific denim style to transition us from spring to summer.  It’s true, we never really know what to expect from the weather forecast and that’s why this particular cut has proven time & time again to be our saving grace.  As you may have already guessed - it’s the cropped jean!

The various fits of MOTHER jeans are all extremely wearable, but none are more so than their cropped styles.  The proof is in the 4 different cuts we have in stores now:

The Teaser - available in the adorable “queen of dixie” wash, this relaxed-fit skinny jean has a 28 inch inseam & is a no-brainer for this time of year!  With a rolled cuff hem, they’ll look darling with a pair of wedge espadrilles.

The Looker Crop - this jean is sure to win hearts!  Available in two summery washes, this skinny crop guarantees to make getting dressed in the morning a no-fuss ordeal.  With the same rise as The Looker full-length jean (7.5 inch), a slim-fitting silhouette, and a 26 inch inseam, they’ll look just as good on as they make you feel (if not better!).

It’s our week of MOTHER Denim - and honestly, we couldn’t be more excited about it!  Throughout the week, my goal is to give you an insider look (and fit session!) for all MOTHER has to offer.  I think you’ll see right away that they strive for nothing short of perfect fit, feel and finish.  And their cashmere-like fabrics will change your whole outlook on jeans (trust me!). 

Enter: The Looker Skinny.  This low-rise skinny jean by MOTHER has quickly become a best-seller and has gained a loyal fan-base in just a few short seasons in our stores.  With a 7.5 inch rise and 10.5 inch leg opening, this style embodies MOTHER’s play on opposites.  It’s sleek without being too serious.  It’s sophisticated while still being playful.  It’s a jean that will become like second-skin in not time at all.

Whether you’re looking for a faded black, a crisp medium blue or a super-light wash, I’m confident you’ll find it in the 12 distinct washes we have available in stores now.  That’s right, we’re giving you 12 options!  And did I mention that their washes all have cute, and sometimes humorous, names?  (“Tickle fights & BBQ” and “bright eyes” are two of my favorites at the moment!)  Their creative names create more than just fun conversation; they’re just another way that MOTHER is setting itself apart from other denim lines.
