Could there be a more perfect piece of clothing than a pair of jeans? So many of your shirts, sweaters, blazers and shoes would be useless with no jeans; indeed, denim is the linchpin that holds it all together. Here, Calgary’s finest places to buy jeans.
Leo Boutique Fashion
Get your denim education here, with raw denim offerings and crazy heavy 21-ounce pants for those who love punishment. Choose from brands like Montreal-designed Naked & Famous and European labels like Dr. Denim, House of the Gods and People’s Market. From $150. 810 16 Ave. SW, 403-410-9236.
Henry
Henry Singer’s spin-off combines the same swish image of its namesake parent company with a younger, hipper attitude.
