The Duchess of Cambridge is wearing them, so are posh moms, Heidi Klum and Hilary Duff. J Brand has been a constant staple in every premium denim lover’s closet for years, and I had the opportunity to see their ready-to-wear collection and be fitted by Oscar, J Brand’s “denim guru.” Oscar has earned that title, as I left TOOTSIES Dallas, where they have the largest selection of J Brand Jeans, feeling confident in my denim and liberated by wearing the right size. (Note: I seem to like my clothes baggy, as I chose sizes that were 1-2 sizes bigger than I should. THANKS, OSCAR!)
RPM: What is the most common mistake women make when buying denim?
OSCAR: Women always think they are one size bigger than they are. They focus on what they think their faults are rather than accenting the positives. Focus on the style and fit that looks best on you rather than hiding what you think is wrong.
RPM: Is there a fit or style of J Brand that is a universally flattering fit for most body types?
OSCAR: J Brand Maria High Rise Skinny is a universal fit for women.

RPM: What “rules” for buying a great pair of jeans?
BE OPEN MINDED. Be open to multiple styles that will accent different areas of your shape in different outfits. You may need a few different pair of jeans to complete different looks – don’t settle on one pair or fit.
