we have a fidelity jeans winner!

Founder, designer, and president, with the responsibility of creative direction and vision for Fidelity Denim, Jason Trotzuk, is here today to answer the winning question in the Trust Your Style Fidelity Jeans Giveaway.



Fidelity's Belladonna mid-rise bootcut

And the winning question....is:

How should one choose the cut, wash and shape of the jeans in relation to the body type, height, and skin complexion? I'm petite, average build, and have a medium complexion--so what should I look for while buying my jeans??

jason: Go with your gut instinct. Feel comfortable in whatever you wear and you can pull it off with confidence. If you're tall you can wear anything and make it look great. For the shorter woman stick to the bootcut. It's always a winner and is timeless. If you're curvy go for a higher waisted jean with a bit of flare to accentuate your figure.

No matter what, always try on a bunch of pairs. Don't just buy a pair of jeans because of the brand name. Fit is key to getting a long life out of a pair of premium jeans.


The lucky Trust Your Style reader/Fidelity Jeans winner is Soma Bhattacharya, who lives in Chicago. Soma graduated with a Masters in Communication from Oklahoma City University in December 2006. She has been working in Chicago in a small consultancy firm in marketing plus freelancing for a local magazine, writing lifestyle columns, and will soon be volunteering for the Chicago Public Radio. Congratulations Soma, you have just won a great pair of jeans!
