Mixed Emotions Jeans

The jeans lineup at Mixed Emotions Store centers on a monogram denim wash, an M print repeated across four colorways. Light blue and grey washes get black lettering, blue and black washes get white, so the same graphic reads differently depending on which base you pick. Alongside the monogram run, there’s a rhinestone pair with crystal detailing set into the denim, a couple of worker-style cuts with a heavier leg and utility pockets, and a cargo pant built from twill instead of denim for a different texture on the same silhouette. Every pair listed here is true to size, S to XL.

The monogram wash system

All four monogram washes use the same M lettering, so the choice comes down to base color and how the lettering reads against it. Light blue and grey washes are lighter overall, with the black lettering standing out sharply. Blue and black washes go the other way, dark denim with white lettering cutting through it. Picking between them is really a question of how loud you want the print against the base, and which base color already fits the rest of your wardrobe.

Cut and build

The monogram and rhinestone jeans use a straight leg denim cut, like the worker-style Mixed Emotion Worker Blue Jeans City NYC, which runs heavier through the leg with a more utilitarian look, closer to workwear than fashion denim. The Pant Mixed Emotion AFENDS Atlas Find Me Twill Cargo trades denim for a tougher woven cotton, still in the same straight silhouette but with a different hand feel and added pocket detail. Stitching and hardware stay consistent across the range regardless of wash or cut, so the build quality doesn’t change based on which colorway you pick.

Sizing

True to size from S to XL. Denim doesn’t have the stretch that fleece or nylon bottoms do, so if you’re between sizes, going with your regular jean size is a safer starting point than guessing based on another category in the store, since the give you’re used to from sweatpants or shorts simply isn’t built into a denim cut.

Caring for the denim

Cold wash and turning the jeans inside out protects both the wash color and any rhinestone detailing set into the denim. Washing less often than you would a t-shirt actually helps here, since denim holds a wash pattern better when it’s not stripped down by frequent hot water cycles. The twill cargo pant is more forgiving than the denim pieces since there’s no wash treatment to fade, but the same cold wash still keeps the color from dulling over time and through repeated wear.

Why the base wash matters more than the cut

Since three of the four monogram colorways use the same M print, the practical difference between them comes down to how much contrast you want between the lettering and the denim underneath. A lighter wash with black lettering shows up clearly from a distance, which suits pairing with a plainer top. A darker wash with white lettering reads a bit more subtle up close, which works if the rest of the outfit is already carrying a louder graphic elsewhere.

Styling jeans with the rest of the collection

Since the monogram and rhinestone washes already carry a visible print, they pair best with a plainer top rather than another graphic-heavy piece. A solid Mixed Emotions Shirt lets the denim stay the focal point. For something louder on top, a Mixed Emotions Hoodie from one of the quieter graphic families, rather than a full acid wash print, keeps the outfit from competing with itself.

Jeans FAQ

What’s the difference between the four monogram washes?

They all use the same M lettering. Light blue and grey washes pair it with black lettering, blue and black washes pair it with white, so the contrast changes depending on which base you choose.

Do the jeans have any stretch?

No, they’re built as standard denim without added stretch, so sizing follows your regular jean size rather than the more forgiving fit of the fleece or nylon bottoms.

Is the cargo pant denim or a different fabric?

It’s a twill cotton blend rather than denim, in the same straight-leg cut but with a tougher feel and added pocket detail.

Are the rhinestone jeans hand set like the rhinestone hoodies?

Yes, the crystal work is set into the denim by hand, the same method used across the rhinestone pieces in the rest of the collection.

Do the worker-style jeans run the same fit as the monogram washes?

No, they cut heavier through the leg with a more utilitarian shape, closer to workwear than the slimmer monogram denim.
