From fabrics, to rivets to stitching to washes, we poured over every detail and design element to ensure that we were creating a jean that would look and fit perfectly on all body types. Nearly ten years later, we proudly continue to provide the same quality and fit of Sebastian McCall Jeans. Even as the industry shifted in how people purchased clothing to what type of clothing they purchased, denim has always remained our mainstay.
Despite popularity in fast fashion and athleisure wear, jeans continue to be the consistent preference for fashion, value and comfort. It’s universal in both fit and purpose and evolves as styles change and trends come and go. Denim has always been and will continue to be a staple clothing item.

We know jeans are the most versatile items of clothing in our closets, with basic black jeans being an evening staple. Instead of a basic black jean, there are two chic, black jean alternatives to consider adding to your wardrobe that will elevate your look and diversify your options.
Coated Jeans
Coated Jeans are an amazing alternative to basic jeans. The fabric is still denim however it is coated with a wax-like finish to give shine like a leather pant. The end result is both edgy and stylish while still having the comfort of a jean. They come in various colors and fits and give the perfect glam look for any party!
Flare Jeans
Flare jeans are jeans people love the look of but are often hesitant to wear or try themselves. They appear more intimidating then they actually are. In fact, flare jeans are very flattering on and work with everybody type. Black flare jeans give you the look of a trouser with the sexy fit of a jean. When dressed up, you will look both chic and sleek.
While jeans aren’t always the first options we think of when dressing up for more lavish festivities, there are surprising denim varieties that are perfectly appropriate, fashionable and stylish for your occasion!

Within the camo print family, there are many ranges in colors, hues and fabrics. They key to pulling off any camouflage look is balance. Since camo is already a eye catching print, it’s best paired with solid colors. That doesn’t mean the colors have to be neutral. They can be bold or rich like orange or simple like white and black. Even textured fabrics will work. The idea is to let the camouflage piece be the focal point of your look.

We are talking about your basic, blue colored jean in either the skinny or straight fit. While they can be chicly dressed up, our favorite way to wear them is with a white tee and a pair of kicks. It’s the perfect, no-hassle but put together look. The key to the pull off basic blue jean look is fit. Like Sebastian McCall Jeans, your blue jeans should fit close to the body, close in at your waist and not stretch out of shape after some wear. Because even a casual look should still be polished. Stop in Charlie’s Jeans in Old City Philadelphia to help find your perfect fitting blue jean!

There’s a lot to celebrate this final summer weekend and we hope you are surrounded by great company with great food and fun!

But the reality is, fall is coming with everything that it entails. They are good things, fun things, delicious things but just not summer things. That’s okay. Now, as we finish the season, take those last summer walks, hit the beach one last time, host a final BBQ because soon, we’ll be hitting the ground running with all things Fall!
Happy End of Summer!

Whether your lazy Sundays are spent having hours long brunches, trips to your local park for a picnic or kicking your feet up on a lounge chair at friends backyard, it’s these days that we long for when the weeks become hectic and weekends become over-scheduled. Make the most of the rest of this lazy summer month!
]]>
It wouldn’t be a typical August if we didn’t hit the beach a couple more times. If we didn’t sweat while dancing at summer music festival. If we didn’t take a late night drive to get ice cream, or watch a firework from our friends’ rooftop deck and at the very least, appreciate and savor the warmth of the sun, the ease of the days and the spontaneity of moments!
Happy Summer!

The sun is the brightest, the weather is the warmest and the skies are the bluest. Fun is the name of the game...in what you do, what you wear and where you go. There are few times that burdens and stresses are far from the mind. The peak of summer is where we hope a sense of freedom, peace and fun are at the summit.
Happy Summer!

We have many cool, summer styles that are perfect for BBQs, summer weddings, movie nights in the park or walks on the boardwalk. Despite the early...really early push in stores for back to school prep, we are far...really far from thinking our summer is close to ending. There is a lot of summer fun to be had.
Happy Summer!!

The easiest way to dip your toes into stripes is to start with neutrals colors...they are less contrasting. Higher contrasts in colors tend to draw attention to your overall look and shape. In some cases, that’s what you want. In others, it’s the last thing you want. The wideness of the stripe is also another aspect to pay attention to. Wider stripes make an area look wider whereas thinner stripes are more forgiving. Finally, be mindful of the flow and structure of striped fabrics. Fabrics that are more structured will keep the shape of the stripe. Flowier striped fabrics will bend and curve according to body shapes. Again, it will be matter of preference and how you want the stripes to look on your body.
Stripes are a simple yet fun and classic print to wear. Stripe size and colors can make all the difference in your outfit. Finding the right pairing to compliment your body are key to pulling off a winning look.
]]>Even when dressing too patriotic seems cheesy for the holiday, we still find a way to show our pride. We hope this July 4th, you are spending it with great people, indulging in delicious foods and enjoying the celebrations.
Happy 4th of July!

Summerfests are underway and we are bringing you our favorite look for such summer events...off the shoulder tops. Cold shoulder tops were all the rage last year. This year, the classic off the shoulder top is the perfect, flattering and stylish blouse to have for the summer. It’s pretty, flirty and depending on the print, fabric and cut, you can achieve a variety of looks including bohemian, vintage or even a simple, sleek look.
These types of shirts pair beautifully with jeans and shorts and can be dressed up or down. This summer, show off your tanned shoulders with a top that can transform your basic look into a chic outfit.
]]>Don’t rush it with too much planning or scheduling. Leave some days for lazy time or spur of the moment trips. The best times are the ones you didn’t expect to happen. If you want that treat, eat it. If you want that item, get it. It takes a while for summer to get here and then goes by quickly. So, enjoy every step of the way.

These jeans are the ultimate blue jeans, the ones that you throw on without a thought. They have a medium wash, fit close to the body but relaxed enough for comfort and breathability. They will replace his worn out, weekend jeans.
The style of this jean is similar to above however the color adds a level of dimension and style that dad’s sometimes want but are not sure how to get. With all of the comforts of a typical blue jeans, the darker color can feel and look slightly dressier for dinner with mom or drinks with his friends. If he’s tied to his favorite medium wash blue jeans, this is a great alternative that’s adds diversity and selection to his wardrobe.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads!!!

White Jeans
This is by far our favorite, summer denim staple. Chic, sexy, edgy, and flattering are just some of the ways to describe how white jeans look as part of an outfit. You can literally pair them with any color or accessory and they look great.
Rompers
For a quick, playful look, rompers are the items to bring. It’s an all in one outfit that is comfortable and stylish. Styles that are more structured and solid in colors can be dressed up, while ones with prints and more flowy fabrics are perfect for the daytime.
Fun Dress for the Evening
We always, for every trip, pack a fun evening dress. We never know where the nights will take us! Bring a simple dress in a pop of color, or a detailed dress in a neutral color. Anything usually goes for a late night in the town, but looking cute is a must.
]]>Summer is here! We don’t care what solstices and equinoxes need to align for it to officially be called summer... in our minds, Memorial Day Weekend is the start of summer! It’s the start of beach trips, weekly BBQs, hammock naps, ice cream for dinner, and lazy nights.
Our busy schedules wind down a little, schools are letting out, and obligations ease up. One thing we won’t be stressing about is what to wear. Easy, breezy outfits will set the tone! Cute rompers, flowy dresses and maybe a pair of white jeans to elevate an evening look. Nothing complicated, everything super stylish, and all functional. However you choose to spend this long holiday weekend, we hope you enjoy it safely and happily with your friends and family!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

We often mention maxi dresses to meet this kind of need. They typically can be dressed up or down with a simple shoe change, are pretty, feminine, and are available in enough variations that you’ll surely find one you’ll like. This time, we think the jumpsuit is the standout item to have! And this season, we’ve seen more styles, colors, and fabrics in jumpsuits than we’ve seen in a long time. We’ve also noticed more people interested in wanting to try and wear the style — partly because the variety is there in both fits and styles, but also because we are recognizing how cute, versatile and flattering jumpsuits are. Just like dresses, certain fabrics and cuts will be more flattering then others. The more structured, solid colored and form fitting the jumpsuit, the dressier it can look. Floral, flowy, and softer fabrics are perfect for daytime or more casual events. Jumpsuits are a great alternative to the many dresses you already wear and own. Why not change it up?!

All mothers want for Mother’s Day is to spend it how they want. It’s a day where they can think of themselves first, without feeling so guilty. Some moms like to go dinner or brunch. Some like to spend it at a spa. Some want breakfast in bed. Some like to spend it with their kids while others may want the day to herself.
Sure, every once in a while, moms take time for themselves… getting their nails done, going shopping. or spending time with their friends. But it’s something they schedule in, once everything else is taken care of. Moms are giving. They always think of their families first. That’s why Mother’s Day is so special. It’s a day where they can focus on themselves. At least for a day… or a part of the day. We want moms to know how much we appreciate them and all that they have done, and still do for us. We want to shower them with not only thoughtful gifts, but also will a lot of love and gratitude.
Happiest of Mother’s Days to our moms and all of the wonderful moms in your life!

Easter is one of the first, family holidays of the year for many. You may have been busy getting the perfect outfits and Easter basket goodies for your little ones. If you’ve forgotten to get something for yourself, don’t fret. A simple clothing item such as a bright spring colored pant or jacket, a flower scarf, or flowy white blouse will serve just fine for the day. Whether you're headed out to brunch or to a family dinner, keep your outfit colorful, simple and sweet. We hope you enjoy the day and time with your family and friends.
Happy Easter!
]]>Flowy Dresses
This is an all in one, perfect item to take. Flowy dresses can be dressed up or down, can be worn with sneakers or sandals and don’t require much ironing, if any at all, after being unpacked. You can even throw it over your swimsuit if you’re in a pinch. They are light to pack and don’t take up much room in your luggage.
Light Jeans
We almost always bring a pair of jeans whenever and wherever we travel. You just never know if you’ll need them. Chances are, you’ll get a lot of use out of them. Light jeans are a perfect jean to take on vacation. They are usually a lighter weight in fabric and finding a pair with distress or panels makes them more interesting and fun. They are a playful jean color and while we don’t often think of them as being as dressy as darker jeans, a blazer and heels can take them farther than you think.
Palazzo Pants
Palazzo pants are a wide leg trouser that usually flare out starting at the hip. They come in a variety of fabrics with some of the most popular being a stretchy, jersey fabric. You’ll often find this pant style in a variety of prints and colors. The best thing about these pants is they don’t require ironing. Just like all the items mentioned above, these can be dressed up or down. They pack easily and take up no room in the suitcase. These pants actually would be the perfect airport outfit...stylish yet comfy.
Layers
This is probably your best option during this time. Layering allows you to wear enough clothing to keep warm. Then remove them as the temperature rises during the day. Blazers, cardigans and wraps will be your best friends during this time. So make sure you have cute ones. Keep a scarf in your bag. One light in fabric but big enough in size to wrap around yourself if you need warmth.
Switching Fabrics
Opt for cotton sweaters instead of your wool ones. They will still give you the warmth you need during cooler temps. While jeans are worn year round, you can start incorporating the medium to light colored jeans now. Also, switch out your wool and corduroy pants to cotton and even linen blends fabrics. Wear silk or light cotton scarves over the heavy, winter knit types. Don’t forget about shoes. Hold off on the booties throw in those cute ballet shoes you have been waiting to wear again.
While a full wardrobe transition from winter to summer might be premature right now, still pull out your light, flowery blouses, your sleeveless tops and even your cropped pants. These are perfect pieces to layer and use as part of your transition wardrobe.
