A Denim Story: How I Found the Perfect Pair of Jeans

by Tazim Damji

How I Found the Perfect Pair of Jeans

Having grown up in both Houston, Texas and Calgary, Alberta - jeans are in my blood. I just love how they get softer and more comfortable as I wear them, how versatile they are, and how they’re becoming more acceptable to wear dressed up. As much as I love wearing jeans, I don’t so much love buying them. If you’re anything like me, you mentally prepare yourself before you go shopping for jeans. I imagine myself spending hours trying on dozens of pairs and the fitting room I’m using having ...

Five Ways to Style Performance Denim Jeans from Dish and Duer

by Tazim Damji

Dish and Duer Technical Denim

Other than when I have to go to work (outside the home), I wear jeans most of the time. I prefer to just pack jeans with me when I travel, since they're thick (I imagine a barrier between myself and seats and things in public), can be dressed up or down, and are great for pretty much every occasion. The problem with most jeans is that they aren't very breathable or easy to move around in. When I heard about Dish and Duer jeans, designed here in Vancouver to be comfortable and stylish at the ...

I Love Vegetables! Do your Clothes Make you Feel Like Yourself?

by Tazim Damji

Leggings - I love Veggies

What do the clothes you wear say about you? I'm not talking about looking at someone and judging them based on the brands they wear, or how soccer-mom-y they look. Do your clothes make you feel like yourself? I had to ask myself that, as I looked through my closet and dresser not long ago. I recently went through a purge and donated all the clothes that I no longer love and make me feel both beautiful and like myself. How much of what I had didn't fit that description? Oh, about 2 garbage bags ...
