Peculiarities
Both daring girls and quiet modest girls are happy to wear stylish washed jeans of various styles and shades. At least one model of dumplings is present in the wardrobe of a modern lady. The difference between previous generation jeans and today's products is the quality of workmanship. The modern market offers a wide variety of ready-made models of excellent quality. Fans of the retro trend can easily find Varenka jeans of a suitable cut: classics, modern boyfriends, skinny jeans, as well as high- or low-waisted products. Varenka jeans are also modernized with tears at the knees, fringes, and holes.
Famous designers in their latest clothing lines and shows present unexpected variations of products that have characteristic features:
- the placement and size of the spots vary and range from tiny chaotic dots to massive asymmetrical patterns;
- the location of the welded elements on the products is also different: they can be placed around the entire perimeter of the jeans or only in specific areas, for example, on the top, side, in the pockets, hips, bottom;
- Varenka jeans look beautiful with decorative inserts - embroidery, print, appliqué;
- models that combine torn and worn parts are popular;
- are made in a wide variety of shades - the base color of the product can be blue or blue, black or purple. Many couturiers move away from the classics and use more unexpected solutions - brown, green, orange, pink tones.
High-waisted Varenka jeans are available in different models. It is better when such products contain elastic, which gives them additional hold. Varnished jackets with a zipper at the back have become fashionable. This original solution is often used on skinny products and is made in metallic and golden colors.
Torn dumplings are gaining popularity. They make female images extremely bright and memorable. The following design variations are in particular demand:
- models with large torn areas that completely expose the knees;
- decoration with torn strips, evenly distributed over the entire surface of the product;
- jeans with small ripped areas placed in a specific part.
Those with full hips can also please themselves with the denim cut. However, you should follow some tips for choosing models. With the help of correctly selected lightened areas, you can visually correct even the most prominent figure flaws. To divert attention from full hips, you need to combine jeans with large jewelry.
Painting an item using bleach
Let's start with the most difficult method. If you succeed, it won’t be difficult to “cook” your jeans differently. For this method you will need:
- Neutral plain jeans in the right shade
- Washing powder
- Bleach
- Soda
- Needles, bright threads
- Bleaching
- Wine corks or something similar (medium drum - 100 pieces)
Manufacturing instructions: First, wash the blue jeans with washing powder and bleach.
You need to take 4 times more bleach than indicated on the package.
Then sew up the holes at the waistband and the edge of the legs using large stitches.
You need to sew it up when the product has just been taken out of the washing machine.
This procedure is necessary for coloring only the front side of the jeans. When loading the drum, add baking soda, a small amount of bleach, wooden or rubber stoppers, and bleach.
Next, throw on the jeans and put them in a standard wash.
It involves rotating in different directions at equal intervals (about a minute).
Then rinse and iron your fashionable jeans well.
What clothes are best to combine with?
There are not only men's Varenki jeans. The product quickly gained popularity among the female audience, becoming a universal wardrobe item that allows you to experiment with your favorite “casual” style. Fashion house experts recommend combining dumplings with a multi-layered top, which can create a truly dynamic ensemble. Airy knitted or silk shirts in pastel colors can become basic. It is recommended to combine with these jeans:
- tight turtlenecks and knee socks;
- flared and cropped T-shirts;
- vests;
- topics;
- plain blouses and printed shirts;
- checkered shirts;
- T-shirts;
- sweatshirts.
The main nuance that should be taken into account when combining clothes with boiled jeans is that the products should be made of light fabrics. The upper part should be simple, monochromatic, and not draw attention to itself, since the dumplings are the highlight of this look.
Dark Varenka jeans will look beautiful with long sweaters, knitted sweaters, and cardigans. This item of clothing looks great with boots, boots, and ankle boots in the winter. In summer, sandals and ballet shoes are suitable. Models with flat soles - “gladiators”, including numerous thin straps, will combine beautifully. Shoes with platforms and wedges are also suitable. Fans of sporty style can combine jeans with sneakers, moccasins or sneakers.
Useful tips for boiling jeans
- For complete bleaching, soak all pants in a bleach solution. You see in the photo that in this case the color is more intense at the seams, and on the fabric it is leveled out.
- If you can’t find pumice stones for scrubbing, use sandpaper. It is with this that you rub those places that, according to the plan, will be lighter.
- We advise you to first transform the old model, and then move on to your favorite pair.
Important! Do not leave bleach on fabric for more than 20 minutes.
Varenki jeans are a cult-hit garment, the fashion for which was born in the 80s and is relevant to this day. Using the proposed methods, you will cheaply and interestingly update your wardrobe so that no one will be able to distinguish a handmade item from a branded item.
Colors
Modern designers offer different shades of fabrics that skillfully contrast with stains: these are chocolate, brick, terracotta, malachite, dark gray colors. Black denim jeans have become incredibly popular. This is a great option for the autumn-spring and winter seasons. They can be successfully combined with all wardrobe items due to the versatility of the shade.
Dark tones of denim jeans will help hide figure flaws and divert attention from problem areas. They are not only suitable for warm weather, but will also be combined with plain jackets, sleeveless vests, and coats. Light-colored Varenka jeans - blue, blue, violet, gray, turquoise tones - are ideal for summer.
It is important to avoid overload of colors and shades. The accent of the look should be the boiled jeans. To complete the look, a denim vest or leather jacket is suitable. This option will make a girl stand out from the crowd on a cool day. An evening walk with friends in a fashionable casual outfit can be complemented by a bright bag and trendy jewelry.
Light dyeing method for jeans
Boiled pants, fashionable in 2021, can be easily made from old jeans with your own hands. We offer a lightweight method that does not involve the boiling process. In this case, a denim jacket can come out with the most unrealistic prints. The manufacturing process is extremely simple:
- Wear clothes that you won’t mind if whiteness suddenly gets on them. Put gloves on your hands.
- Soak old pumice, which is often used for manicure, in white or Domestos overnight. It is better to leave the container outside or on the balcony so that the fumes do not harm the apartment.
- In the morning, mix white and water in a 2:1 ratio. Pour the resulting solution into a bottle with a spray nozzle.
- Place the item on a flat surface.
- Using elastic bands for money or hair, collect individual sections of the trouser legs into “bouquets” if desired.
- Spray whitening spray into the areas you would like to whiten.
- After this, use a pumice stone soaked in bleach to vigorously scrub the areas you want. This technique will weaken the denim dye layer and allow the whiteness to penetrate deeper into the material.
- Leave the item alone for 15 minutes while the fabric fades.
- Wash your jeans several times, load the machine into the machine. Only clothes that are not exposed to residual bleach can be placed with them.
- You need to dry the finished item in the usual way.
How to do it yourself
You can easily make boiled jeans yourself. For this you will need:
- spacious container - bucket, pan or basin;
- water and bleach;
- wooden stick or spatula;
- clothespins, elastic bands.
Before cooking, you should twist the clothes and bandage them in this position, using prepared fasteners. You should not roll the product too tightly, as you may end up with an insufficient number of streaks. The format of the patterns depends on how the jeans are twisted. Jeans rolled into a tubular shape tend to have vertical streaks. If they are folded in layers, in which they are fixed with clothespins, at the exit you can see horizontal patterns on the fabric:
- it is necessary to fill the prepared container with water and bring it to a boil on the stove;
- as soon as the water begins to boil, add 100 ml of bleach and thoroughly stir the resulting mixture;
- place the jeans prepared for processing into the solution. It is important to monitor the cooking process to keep the product completely submerged. To do this you will need a wooden stick;
- when visible results of cooking appear, you should remove the product from the water and place it under a cold stream;
- After washing, you need to remove the elastic bands and dry the clothes.
If after 15-20 minutes of cooking the jeans do not change their color and texture, you should add an additional amount of bleach and continue processing. But you should not rush to re-wet your clothes if, in your opinion, the result is too dark - wait for the denim to dry, as wet fabric always looks darker.
As a precaution, it is necessary to use a gauze bandage while working with the product.
When clothes are boiled in bleach, copious amounts of pungent fumes are released into the air. If possible, you should use a respirator. Also, do not forget about rubber gloves. When boiling the product, make sure that all windows and vents in the house are open.
Where did the fashion for dumplings come from?
The “Iron Curtain” that separated the USSR from the West began to gradually lift during the years of perestroika. Fashion was one of the first to slip into the “scoop” hole. And now the elite of perestroika youth are showing off in printed denim clothes. It was almost impossible for an ordinary Soviet person to get such a new thing. But those whose relatives flew abroad on duty were the happy owners of light-colored American cowboy trousers.
The bulk of the people could not even dream of such a replenishment of their wardrobe, because trade in foreign things was called profiteering and was punishable according to the Criminal Code. Traders secretly “pushed” a new pro-American fashion to the people. But the astronomical cost of the pants remained an insurmountable barrier even for illegal purchases.
Girls of any era strived to be beautiful and original. The period of perestroika of the USSR was no exception. One of the ways to look stylish and fashionable for little money was the invention of jeans. After some “magic” rituals with bleach and bluing, fashionistas received a stylish model of pants that was difficult to distinguish from the foreign original.
A significant advantage was the ability to choose the degree of lightening of stains on the trouser legs. And if the desired result was not achieved the first time, you could repeat the manipulation, increasing the concentration of bleach.
Interesting! The most daring pioneers painted their pants whatever they wanted. Dyes for eggs, onion peels, beets, plant roots and fruit juice were used. Often craftsmen mixed methods, achieving unimaginable colors.
