Un’s Editorial Team has curated a Christmas Gift Guide that has rounded up the best pieces of upcycled denim for that very special person in your life - You! That’s right, we think the best Christmas gift this festive season is the one that you gift yourself. 

After all, why wait around for other people to gift you something special when you can just head over to Un’s website and treat yourself to some upcycled denim goodness? Our customer Kaya sent us this video after she gifted herself an Un denim jacket this Christmas season.

See what she had to say. 

                                               

Like Kaya found out, if you need more than one reason to gift yourself a pair of our upcycled jeans, here are a few:  

  1. Each upcycled piece in our collection is made from top-quality pre-owned denims that have been curated from all around the world, and refashioned with care and love. That means each piece is one-of-a-kind. Just like you.
  2. Choosing an upcycled garment over a newly made one means that you’re helping save around 3600 litres of water and 25kg of CO2E.
  3. Our signature GreenPocket™ that’s a sign that you made a better choice for the planet by choosing upcycled jeans instead of newly made ones.

Now imagine gifting yourself a piece of upcycled denim that saves the planet, looks incredibly stylish… and makes heads turn!

Note: Before you head into our Gift Guide, a reminder! Because we work with pre-loved denims, our Size Guide is different from other brands; take a minute to take this test so you can pick the correct size.  Size Guide

Womens’ Jeans 

For women who love a good denim fit, here are the styles we recommend based on denim styles.  

     1. Boot Cut

           Boot cut jeans are wider from the knee to the hem, with a flare at the hemline. Suitable for most body types. Check out Un’s regular bootcut style here.  Link : Bootcut Jeans

     2. Wide Leg

          Wide leg denim styles are perfect for most body types but are especially flattering for more petite women, with wider thighs or hips. Link : Wide Leg Jeans

     3. Baggy 

          Baggy denims are always on trend, and range from relaxed baggy to super relaxed baggy style. This makes for a sporty, streetwear feel. Link : Baggy Jeans

     4. Mom Fit

          Mom fit jeans are super comfortable, they include extra space in the crotch and leg area and usually come in a tapered leg. Gift this to anyone who prefers comfort over flashy trends.  Link :  Mom Fit Jeans

Men’s Jeans

For men who love a classic denim fit, here are the pieces we recommend based on style. 

     1. Boot cut : Boot cut styles remain the most popular fit for men, in general, across height and build variations.  Check out Un’s bootcut upcycled jeans here:  Bootcut Upcycled Jeans

     2. Baggy style : For men who have a preference for anti-fits, and like to adopt a more streetwear aesthetic, baggy styles are the best options to gift. Check out Un’s baggy upcycled jeans here:  Un Baggy Upcycled Jeans

     3. Slim style : Slim denim styles are narrow at the hip, but they are not as form fitting as skinny jeans and retain an overall relaxed silhouette. These are usually preferred by men with a slim body frame. Check out Un’s slim upcycled jeans here:  Un Slim Upcycled Jeans

In Michael Buble’s words, since it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, we hope you’re going to take some inspiration from this Gift Guide to treat the most special person in your life. We mean you, of course :)
