Even Dryer Denim: Naked & Famous Snowpants

Snow pants…not the most fashionable clothing option in your closet.

Thanks to those wacky denim scientists at Naked & Famous, the same team that brought us “scratch ‘n’ sniff” denim, “stainless steel” denim, and thermochromic denim, we now have an excuse to go play out in the snow.

Naked & Famous uses unique and rare fabric imported from Japan, but they manage to keep their prices reasonable. They might have old school practices when it comes to creating the perfect pair of jeans (they refuse to create washes or embroider pockets) but that doesn’t mean they lack a sense of humor. “How boring would it be to only make great dark indigo jeans? We love to create things that are special and unique that nobody has ever done before,” said Brandon Svarc, owner and designer of Naked & Famous.

The “Snow Pant” from Naked & Famous looks exactly like your favorite pair of slim, dark, denim jeans. “We made the Snowpant jeans because we love products that are fun, crazy and useful,” Svarc said.

They are wind resistant, lined in bonded, nylon fleece material, and the best part – they have a waterproof coating, which will keep them, and you, dry as bone. No hypothermia here.

The zippered and Velcro ankle opening will help you get these bad boys over your snow boots – or ski boots. You can now snowboard in style (with out that annoying swishy sound every time you take a step).

So get into that snowball fight without worrying about looking like you have control problems.

Shopping for the best jeans to wear can be a tricky situation and it's definitely something you should do in person since they vary from brand to brand. Once you do find the perfect fit, jeans can become your favorite go-to item in your wardrobe -- easy to knock around in or wear to a casual occasion.

When deciding on the perfect pair for yourself there are a few things to consider; fit, style, length, and distress. The combination can be overwhelming for starters but once you settle on a style that best fits you (and your budget) the rest should be a breeze. Below, we've curated a guide to help you on how to wear jeans based on style and wash.
Style, Fit, Wash
The style or cut of your jeans relates to how the fabric fits on your legs down to your ankles. The most common styles are skinny, slim, straight, and bootcut. All of these can come in a regular or relaxed fit, which refers to the amount of room the leg hole allows for.

What Are Dad Jeans and Should They Be In Your Denim Rotation?

From my jokes to the way I offer advice, usually without much provocation, to my uncontrollable grunts every time I get up out of a chair, I’m constantly exhibiting dad-like tendencies. Considering my age -- 44 -- and the fact that I am the father of two kids, everything I do is automatically classified as “dad-like” by anyone younger than 30.

The only part of my life that isn’t very dad-like at all is the way I dress. People younger than me might disagree with that statement, but judging myself against other dads at middle school functions, youth soccer games, and even the gym, I look like a style icon.
