Jeans fashion trends

Jeans fashion trends

In 2025, ripped jeans are getting a makeover! But guess what? You don’t need to mentally prepare yourself—because the trendy rip isn’t at the knees or thighs anymore, it’s at the hems. Yep, we’re talking about frayed jeans, with edges so worn out they’re practically falling apart.

Vogue actually hinted at this trend last year, but it really took off after Chloé’s Fall/Winter 2024 show, where Bohemian chic made a major comeback. The runway jeans looked great, sure, but it was designer Kamali’s laid-back look right after the show that really caught everyone’s eye. She wore super casual jeans with heavily frayed hems, paired effortlessly with an oversized shirt and sneakers. Her style perfectly captured the relaxed sophistication we’ve all been dreaming of.

And who else but Sienna Miller, the queen of Bohemian chic herself, took notice from the front row? Just a few days ago in London, she showed everyone another awesome way to rock frayed jeans. She kept it simple but stylish—a lightweight coat, white top, and ballet flats. At first glance, her outfit looked pretty basic. But if you take a closer look, every choice was intentional. The structured lines of her coat and the smooth suede texture of her flats contrasted beautifully with the rough edges of her jeans. It was casual yet incredibly stylish, highlighting the charm of vintage-inspired frayed jeans perfectly.

So, why not take inspiration from Sienna? Pair your frayed jeans with a neat everyday outfit. You’ll get a subtle taste of that free-spirited Bohemian vibe without feeling like it’s too much. Oh, and here’s a little tip—leave a button or two undone on your top to keep things relaxed and effortlessly cool.

En 2025, ¡los jeans rotos están cambiando de lugar! Pero tranquilo, no hace falta que te prepares mentalmente, porque ya no será en las rodillas ni en los muslos, ¡sino en el borde inferior! Sí, estoy hablando de los “frayed jeans” o jeans deshilachados, con el dobladillo tan gastado que ya empiezan a colgar los hilos.

La revista Vogue ya había anticipado esta moda el año pasado, pero el verdadero boom llegó gracias al desfile de otoño/invierno 2024 de Chloé, reviviendo el estilo Bohemio chic. Aunque en la pasarela los jeans llamaron la atención, la verdadera inspiración vino justo después del desfile, con la diseñadora Kamali saludando en unos pantalones aún más desgastados, combinados con una camisa amplia y zapatillas deportivas. Ella mostró esa elegancia relajada que todos buscamos.

Y quién mejor para tomar el relevo que la mismísima reina del estilo bohemio, Sienna Miller, quien desde la primera fila captó esta tendencia y decidió mostrar cómo llevarla de otra manera. Hace poco en Londres, Miller combinó sus jeans deshilachados con un abrigo ligero, una camiseta blanca sencilla y bailarinas planas. A primera vista parece un look básico, pero observando con atención, cada prenda fue escogida cuidadosamente. Las líneas definidas del abrigo y la textura suave de las bailarinas contrastan maravillosamente con el borde rasgado de los pantalones, destacando aún más su estilo casual y vintage.

¿Por qué no imitar a Sienna? Combina unos jeans deshilachados con ropa casual bien cuidada para sentir ese toque bohemio sin exagerar. Y aquí un pequeño consejo: deja abiertos uno o dos botones en la camiseta para darle un aire relajado y natural.

2025년 청바지 트렌드가 좀 특이해졌어! 마음의 준비 같은 거 안 해도 돼. 왜냐면 이번에 찢어지는 위치가 무릎이나 허벅지가 아니라 바지 밑단이거든! 밑단이 너무 닳아서 실밥이 너덜너덜한, 그거 있잖아—‘프레이드 진(frayed jeans)’이라고 해.

작년에 <보그>가 이미 한번 유행을 예고하긴 했는데, 이번 트렌드는 ‘끌로에’ 2024년 가을/겨울 쇼에서 보헤미안 시크 스타일을 확 살려낸 덕이 커. 물론 런웨이의 청바지 룩도 멋있었지만, 더 현실적인 느낌을 준 건 쇼 끝나고 디자이너 카말리가 입고 나온 바지였어. 진짜 헐렁하고 밑단이 완전히 찢어진 청바지에 큰 셔츠랑 운동화를 신고 나왔는데, 딱 우리가 생각하는 내추럴한 세련미 그 자체였지.

이걸 또 맨 앞줄에서 지켜본 게 보헤미안 스타일의 여왕이라고 불리는 시에나 밀러였어. 며칠 전에 런던에서 진짜로 이 스타일을 너무 멋지게 보여줬거든? 그냥 가벼운 코트에 흰색 티셔츠, 그리고 발레 플랫 신발만 딱 신었는데도 진짜 스타일리시해 보이더라. 그냥 보면 평범해 보일 수 있는데, 자세히 보면 하나하나 엄청 신경 써서 골랐어. 코트의 깔끔한 라인이랑 플랫 신발의 부드러운 스웨이드 질감이 청바지의 거친 밑단과 반대라서 더 예쁘게 보이더라니까.

너도 시에나 밀러처럼, 깔끔한 데일리 룩에 프레이드 진을 편하게 한번 매치해 봐. 보헤미안 스타일을 과하지 않게 딱 맛볼 수 있어. 그리고 티셔츠 단추 한두 개 정도 슬쩍 풀어주는 것도 좋겠네!

System K4 Dry Cleaning

System K4 Dry Cleaning Biobased SOLVONK4 Awarded the USDA BioPreferred ® Product Label 88%

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-usda-biopreferred-program-brings-clarity-biodegradability-8gvoe/

The USDA BioPreferred Program is a federal initiative aimed at promoting the development and use of biobased products—those derived from plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials. Established under the 2002 Farm Bill and expanded in subsequent legislation, the program seeks to reduce reliance on petroleum, enhance the use of renewable resources, and stimulate economic development by creating new markets for farm commodities.unist.com+4usda.gov+4envirotextiles.com+4usda.gov+3envirotextiles.com+3unist.com+3

Key Components of the BioPreferred Program:

  1. Mandatory Federal Purchasing: Federal agencies and their contractors are required to give preference to designated categories of biobased products when making purchasing decisions. This mandate aims to increase the demand for biobased products, thereby supporting the growth of the biobased economy.biopreferred.gov+3locusingredients.com+3unist.com+3

  2. Voluntary Labeling Initiative: The program offers a voluntary certification and labeling system that allows manufacturers to display the “USDA Certified Biobased Product” label on products that meet the program’s criteria. This label helps consumers identify products with verified biobased content, promoting informed purchasing decisions.biopreferred.gov+6locusingredients.com+6envirotextiles.com+6

Defining Biodegradability in the Context of the BioPreferred Program:

Biodegradability refers to the capacity of a material to be decomposed by biological agents, especially bacteria, into natural substances like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Within the BioPreferred Program, biodegradability is an important attribute as many biobased products are designed to break down naturally, reducing environmental impact.ecfr.gov

Benefits of Biobased and Biodegradable Products:

  • Environmental Impact: Biobased products often have a reduced carbon footprint compared to their petroleum-based counterparts. Their biodegradability ensures they decompose naturally, minimizing pollution and waste accumulation.locusingredients.com+1sustainablejungle.com+1

  • Economic Growth: The production and use of biobased products support agricultural and rural economies by creating jobs and opening new markets for renewable resources.usda.gov+1unist.com+1

  • Reduced Petroleum Dependence: By utilizing renewable resources, biobased products decrease reliance on finite fossil fuels, contributing to energy security and sustainability.

Challenges and Considerations:

While the BioPreferred Program has made significant strides, challenges remain in educating consumers and businesses about the benefits of biobased products and ensuring that these products meet performance expectations. Additionally, not all biobased products are biodegradable, and the environmental benefits can vary depending on the entire lifecycle of the product.  https://www.joescleaner.com/sustainablejungle.com 

Conclusion:

The USDA BioPreferred Program plays a pivotal role in advancing the use of biobased products, offering environmental benefits through reduced pollution and supporting economic growth in rural communities. By understanding and participating in this program, consumers and businesses can make more informed choices that contribute to a sustainable future.usda.gov+4locusingredients.com+4envirotextiles.com+4

Zone Cleaning Method?

Home Zone Cleaning

“존 클리닝(Zone Cleaning)” 방법은 집을 여러 개의 구역(Zone)으로 나누고, 한 번에 하나의 구역을 집중적으로 청소하는 방식입니다. 이는 청소를 보다 체계적이고 덜 부담스럽게 만드는 전략적인 방법입니다.

존 클리닝의 핵심 원칙

  1. 집을 구역으로 나누기 – 집 전체를 한꺼번에 청소하려고 하지 않고, 부엌, 거실, 침실 등 특정 공간을 각각 하나의 구역으로 설정합니다.
  2. 한 번에 하나씩 집중 – 하루에 하나의 구역을 선택하여 철저하게 청소하고 정리합니다.
  3. 작업을 세분화 – 각 구역에서 해야 할 청소 작업(예: 먼지 제거, 정리, 바닥 닦기 등)을 리스트로 만들어 한 단계씩 수행합니다.
  4. 루틴 만들기 – 일정한 주기로 특정 구역을 청소하는 습관을 들이면 전체적인 유지 관리가 쉬워집니다.

존 클리닝의 장점

  • 효율적 관리: 한꺼번에 대청소를 하는 부담을 줄이고, 지속적으로 깨끗한 상태를 유지할 수 있습니다.
  • 심리적 부담 감소: 전체 공간을 청소하려는 압박감이 줄어들어 스트레스가 적습니다.
  • 일정한 청소 습관 형성: 정해진 루틴을 따르면 청소가 자동화되어 더욱 수월해집니다.

예시: 주간 존 클리닝 스케줄

요일 청소 구역
월요일 거실
화요일 부엌
수요일 욕실
목요일 침실
금요일 현관 및 복도
토요일 창문 및 가구 먼지 제거
일요일 쉬는 날 or 보충 청소

이 방법은 퍼즐을 한 조각씩 맞추거나, 하이킹을 한 걸음씩 나아가는 것과 같은 접근 방식으로, 조금씩 진행하면서도 결국에는 전체를 완성하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있습니다.

https://www.news-graphic.com/news/project-prom-dress-to-give-boutique-experience-to-any-girls-needing-dresses/article_e63a2450-e4ad-11ef-af9a-2f4d739fd306.html

AMEN House to host Project Prom Dress event at Faith Baptist Church from February 28 to March 2

We are clearing inventory and preparing 500 dresses in condition. “For the past two years, I’ve had 120 dresses sent to me every year,” Zwick said. “We reached out to more schools this year because we had leftover dresses. We’re hearing from people in Richmond.

AMEN House evaluator Michele Carlisle said, “The girls are not only given dresses that fit their size, but they can choose the ones they really like.” “They can try on 12 dresses and find 12 that don’t fit.”

The volunteers are planning this event with the mindset that “every girl deserves to feel safe and have fun.”

EPA Enacts Ban on Perc

Do you not know why Perc solvent used in laundries is regulated by law?

Perchloroethylene (commonly called “Perc”) is a solvent widely used in dry cleaning due to its effectiveness in removing stains and dirt from fabrics. However, its use is regulated by law because of its potential environmental and health risks. Here’s why:

Joe’s Cleaner has had an alternative for a long time

Wet-Cleaning-Joe's-Dry-Cleaners

1. Health Risks
Toxicity: Perc is classified as a potential carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Long-term exposure can lead to an increased risk of cancer.
Respiratory and Nervous System Effects: Short-term exposure to Perc fumes can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and irritation to the eyes and throat. Prolonged exposure can damage the central nervous system and liver.
Workplace Safety: Workers in dry cleaning facilities are at higher risk due to consistent exposure, necessitating regulations to ensure safe handling.
2. Environmental Impact
Air Pollution: Perc easily evaporates into the air, contributing to air pollution and smog formation.
Soil and Water Contamination: When spilled or improperly disposed of, Perc can seep into the ground, contaminating soil and groundwater, which is costly and difficult to remediate.
3. Regulatory Framework
Emission Standards: The U.S. EPA regulates Perc under the Clean Air Act, with strict standards for emissions from dry cleaning facilities to limit environmental impact.
Hazardous Waste Designation: Perc is classified as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This requires dry cleaners to dispose of it through approved methods.
Worker Protection: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces limits on workplace exposure to Perc, requiring proper ventilation, protective equipment, and monitoring.
4. Shift to Alternatives
Due to these risks, many dry cleaners are transitioning to safer and more sustainable alternatives, such as wet cleaning systems, hydrocarbon solvents, or newer technologies like liquid carbon dioxide cleaning.
Regulations aim to minimize Perc’s risks to public health, workers, and the environment while encouraging the adoption of safer practices and technologies.

The ban announced on Dec. 9 affects perchloroethylene, also known as PCE or perc, along with trichloroethylene (TCE). The EPA’s intention of sunsetting of these two solvents was first announced in June 2023, when the agency opened the discussion to the public. Through the efforts of drycleaning industry groups such as the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI) and the National Cleaners Association (NCA), however, dry cleaners will have a longer timeline than many other industries to eliminate perc from their process.

Under the ban proposed last year, dry cleaners with older, third-generation drycleaning machines will have three years to transition to alternative solvents. Cleaners with newer fourth- and fifth-generation equipment, which collects and stores perc more efficiently, would have 10 years to make the change.

Consistency Is King

Under-promise and over-deliver

The best advice I’ve gotten from running a dry cleaner with tailor for 12 years and writing about business, work, and life.

Running a dry cleaner with tailoring services for over a decade provides invaluable lessons that translate into timeless business wisdom. Here’s a collection of the best advice you’ve likely embraced or reflected on through your journey:

1. Consistency Is King

Customers trust businesses that deliver consistent quality. Whether it’s perfectly pressed shirts or precise tailoring, ensuring every job meets high standards keeps clients coming back. As they say, “Under-promise and over-deliver.”


2. Invest in Relationships, Not Just Transactions

Regular customers often come back because they feel valued. Knowing their names, preferences, and tailoring styles makes your service feel personalized, fostering loyalty. Building trust through genuine care pays dividends.


3. Adapt to Change Proactively

The dry cleaning industry has faced shifts, like eco-friendly trends and reduced demand for formalwear. Embracing organic dry cleaning methods or sustainable wet cleaning early demonstrates innovation and keeps you competitive.


4. Master the Art of Communication

Explain processes, timelines, or potential challenges to customers in simple terms. Clear, honest communication resolves issues before they arise and makes you approachable.


5. Prioritize Efficiency and Organization

Time is money in a business like yours. Streamlined workflows, digital booking systems, and scheduled pickups/deliveries optimize your operations while leaving room for attention to detail.


6. Marketing Is as Important as Service

A great business can go unnoticed without effective marketing. Whether through a sharp website, regular social media updates, or word-of-mouth referrals, your visibility builds trust and draws in new customers.


7. Leverage Data for Decision-Making

Understanding peak times, service preferences, and profit margins on alterations versus dry cleaning helps you focus on what drives growth. Data-driven decisions keep you agile and ahead of competitors.


8. Don’t Be Afraid to Say No

Some requests or rush jobs may compromise your quality or stretch resources too thin. Politely declining certain work protects your reputation and ensures you’re delivering the best to your core clientele.


9. Never Stop Learning

Staying curious about the latest cleaning technology, fabric trends, or customer service practices sharpens your expertise. The willingness to adapt keeps you relevant, even as industry demands evolve.


10. Balance Work with Life

Small business ownership often feels all-consuming, but burnout isn’t productive. Stepping away periodically to recharge allows you to return with fresh energy and perspective.


11. Empathy Goes a Long Way

Whether handling a disgruntled customer or a staff issue, empathy diffuses tension and fosters stronger connections. Listening attentively and showing you care builds trust and goodwill.


12. Reputation Is Everything

In a service-oriented business, word-of-mouth can make or break you. A reputation for reliability, friendliness, and high-quality results is your most powerful asset—guard it fiercely.

By combining these lessons with your own insights and dedication, you’ve likely built a trusted brand that reflects both professionalism and care.

“The Elegance Weaved in Every Crease”

Once upon a time in a quaint town, there stood a little shop known for its magical touch with fabrics. People spoke of it in hushed tones, for it wasn’t just any laundry service; it was a place where shirts came to life with stories of elegance.

Act 1: The Artisan’s Haven

In the heart of the town lived an artisan named Alessandro, a master in the ancient art of hand-ironing. His workshop, tucked away on a cobblestone street, was a haven for shirts seeking a touch of perfection.

Act 2: The Whispering Irons

Alessandro’s irons were no ordinary tools; they whispered stories of distant lands, danced along the weaves, and sang a melody of sophistication. As he pressed each shirt, the fabric absorbed tales of grace and charm.

Act 3: The Journey of Transformation

When a worn-out shirt entered Alessandro’s shop, it was like a cocoon entering a metamorphic phase. The wrinkles transformed into elegant folds, and the fabric regained its lost sheen. The shirt, once tired, emerged reborn and ready for a new adventure.

Act 4: The Characters in Cotton

Every shirt had its own story to tell. The crisp white shirts, with their perfectly aligned collars, spoke of boardrooms and important meetings. The vibrant, patterned shirts shared tales of weekend escapades and lively gatherings.

Act 5: The Seasonal Sonata

With each changing season, Alessandro’s pressing artistry adapted. Winter shirts promised warmth and comfort, while summer shirts whispered of cool breezes and carefree afternoons. The wardrobe became a symphony of seasonal sensations.

Act 6: The Sustainable Thread

Alessandro was not just an artisan; he was a guardian of the environment. With his hand-iron-pressing techniques, he weaved sustainability into the very fabric of each shirt. The process conserved energy and nurtured the Earth.

National Boss’s Day

National Boss's Day

 

On October 16th, National Boss’s Day, also known as National Boss Day or Bosses Day, recognizes the hardworking boss overseeing the workplace. Employees across the United States show appreciation and thankfulness to their bosses. They remember their boss’s kindness and fairness throughout the year, too. (If the 16th of October falls on a weekend, then this day is celebrated on the closest working day.)

#BossDay
Many leaders carry heavy loads. They oversee many employees and guide their careers, too. While their position holds them responsible for a department, business, or organization and leading it to success, their list of responsibilities is multifaceted.

Some bosses have bosses themselves. Depending on the size of an organization, those bosses also answer to someone else. In fact, everyone has a boss of some kind. If your boss is the owner, they still answer to the taxman, the customers, and their merchants. Keeping a business running smoothly with outstanding employees requires balance. These bosses know how to put their best employees forward and lead with the confidence that we look up to.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL BOSS’S DAY
We can celebrate our bosses in numerous ways.

Give your boss the day off with a game of golf.
Host a potluck with your boss’s favorite foods.
Have everyone in the office sign a card of appreciation.
Invite customers or clients to share memories of your boss.
Create a timeline of your boss’s accomplishments.
Give them a shout-out using #BossDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL BOSS’S DAY HISTORY
National Boss’s Day, also known as National Boss Day or Bosses Day, is a secular holiday that began in 1958. Patricia Bays Haroski worked as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois when she registered “National Boss’s Day” with the United States Chamber of Commerce. She selected October 16th because it was her father’s birthday and at the time, he was also her employer! Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor, Otto Kerner, backed Haroski’s registration and officially proclaimed Boss’s Day. In 1979, Hallmark Cards introduced Boss’s Day cards to their inventory.
