the denim? >> first thing you should ask yourself is what are you going to be wearing these jeans for? in the office sometimes it's more appropriate to wear dark and clean. for going out on the town for your girlfriends, may want the skinny jean. second tip is know about your body shape. i say body shape and not size. knowing your shape gives you the best fitting pair of jeans. >> a pair can cost from $20 to way in the hundreds. to save some cash, here's a tip. >> start at the back of the store or denim department. that's where the best prices are going to be. >> once you find that great pair of pants, how you care for them goes a long way. >> best thing for extending life of your jeans and wash them less frequently. >> spot clean with a damp rag. if still dirty, turn inside out and throw them in the washing machine on the gentle cycle in cold water. always line dry. heat from the drier can destroy

fibers and destroy the finish. hit the stores before the denim deals wash away. >> you were hanging with the experts. what do they say about getting the shape back after you have put them in the drier and they lose shape? >> sometimes after you've worn them they stretch out. turn them inside out, throw in the drier 10 minutes and the shape comes back to size and won't ruin the indigo wash on it. best line of defense is find the best salesperson that knows your size, all the models and will take them in the dressing room and narrow down the choices. it's a miserable, horrible experience. i have to tell you. >> they're getting narrower. not easy. let's send to sheinelle now. she has the plaza friend of the day. >> good morning. this is the first of its kind. we have a big group. so many fans of the day we
