Wrangler Jeans: Hard-Wearing Style


When you combine the current financial climate with today’s never-ending cycle of fashion trends, it’s sometimes difficult to push yourself into buying something new. This is especially true when it comes to jeans, supposedly the most resistant and durable items of clothing we own.

Yet that isn’t always the case, is it? We all have pairs of jeans that are old and tattered, and many of the pairs we still regularly wear aren’t exactly in the best shape either. If this is the case, then it doesn’t really matter how your bank account is looking in the grand scheme of things – you’re going to need a new pair. A pair that’s not only stylish, but one that’s guaranteed to last.

Wrangler jeans are just about the safest bet there is when it comes to hard-wearing attire. Their origins go right back to the Wild West and cowboys – if they’re durable enough to stand the lifestyle of a working cowboy, then they’re sure to be ok for the comparatively easy lives we have today.
Luckily, quality jeans never really go out of fashion. For all your pastels and blocks, low cuts and checks, well-designed jeans provide a consistent bastion of male fashion cool. Wrangler makes jeans of a quality that other brands can only aspire to; the company’s been in the business for longer than anyone else, so knows exactly what it’s doing.

The Wrangler jeans range retains its class and style throughout, but has plenty of diversity to suit all tastes. If you’re looking for something different for casual occasions, take a look at the various bootcut designs – casual but with a touch of seventies flair.
Its stretch jeans, on the other hand, are slightly more innovative and have a slimmer appearance while, as you’d presume, you can’t really go wrong with the regular fit.

Jeans are one of those items, then, that are built to last but, in truth, don’t always do so. If you’re in desperate need of a new pair, Wrangler is guaranteed to come up with the goods when it comes to durable, stylish attire.

Iconic Film Scenes (With Glasses)

Characters in the movies who wear glasses are more often than not either supporting characters or villains. This is because we have been trained to like our heroes perfect – certainly able to see without the help of eyewear.

However, this stereotype has certainly been broken many times. Glasses can be sexy, frightening, fun or even sympathetic, depending upon the situation in the film and who’s wearing the glasses.

Who can forget Kim Lyon, as the very tempting “Lolita,” peering up over her heart-shaped glasses? On the flip side of the coin, nothing could be less sexy and more threatening than the close-ups of Michael Douglas, one lens shattered in his horn rim in the film “Falling Down.”

Sometimes, it’s the shape of the glasses that stick in your mind. Harry Potter’s government-issue reading glasses, worn so well by Daniel Radcliffe, can stand on their own as a reminder of the Harry character. Going back in time a bit, that same style of frames, worn by the character “Piggy” in 1964′s “Lord of the Flies,” carries with them the idea that all is not well for this character or his friends.
That round eyeglass shape has made stars since the silent era. Harold Lloyd, probably the most amazing physical comedian ever, is probably better known today for the large round eyeglasses that framed his thin face. You can’t play Superman without playing Clark Kent, and for some reason a nerdy set of reading glasses is all Christopher Reeve (and all the other actors before him) ever seemed to need in order to pull one over on Lois and Jimmy. Product placement has been around forever in the movies. It’s only in the last 30 years or so that companies realised they could pay for the privilege to put their products in movies.   Designer glasses frames now appear on the faces of literally any character who needs eyewear. The James Bond character is renowned for his use of stylish sunglasses from high-end designers.

The next time you’re watching a movie where someone is wearing eyeglasses, stick around to read the credits to see which manufacturer of designer glasses is given credit at the end of the film. It may be a famous name in the eyewear industry; or it could be a credit for a current designer style named after a celebrity. If the name is unfamiliar but sounds very trendy, you can bet that buying a pair of similar frames (which the maker ultimately wants you to do) will be very expensive indeed. But, it will be worth every penny spent to place the product, because the presence of those eyeglasses means potential sales anywhere the movie is shown. In fact, you could say the whole point of placing eyeglasses in a film is for them to make spectacles of themselves.
