Welcome to our "Party on the Bottom!" In this town-hall format Nat Chat, Natalie tackles the world of denim. (And, yes, she addresses the Gen Z backlash against skinny jeans.) With a focus solely on jeans (no skirts or shorts here!), Natalie aims to demystify denim by discussing everything from raw denim and sizing intricacies to maintenance and cleaning tips, ensuring that by the end of the episode, you'll feel informed and confident on your next shopping expedition.

One of the critical areas explored in the episode is the concept of raw denim. Natalie explains that raw denim refers to fabric that hasn't been washed or distressed, giving it a distinctive dark, uniform look. She emphasizes the importance of understanding terms like "once-washed" and "unsanforized," which can be particularly intimidating for first-time buyers. Moreover, she reminds listeners that the sizing can vary greatly across brands and types of denim. The key takeaway? When in doubt, reach out for guidance from sales associates or customer support teams to ensure you’re making an informed decision. And listen to Wear Who You Are (obviously!). Remember that jeans can be versatile pieces for personal expression! Whether you're holding on to your beloved skinny jeans or experimenting with wider fits, the ultimate goal is to wear what makes you feel great. So tune in and join the conversation—by the end, you just might discover your inner denimhead!
