It’s time to do a quick reassessment of my taste in jeans. First off: I decided I am kind of giving boyfriends and drop-crotches a break. Secondly though, I am definitely going to keep on wearing my boyjeans, which are skinnies with a slight slouch, like those Marlows from CLOSED shown below. Then, I’m really getting a little tired of those blah blue skinnies, so I was shopping for skinnies with an EDGE here for you. And, as I am – and always will be – devoted to real denim, I left out all the printed and coated and “transformed” denims.
As I have pointed out – for me, a pair of jeans has to be “real” denim, worn denim, vintage or raw selvedge. It shouldn’t be more than a maximum of 2% stretch and OMG no Spandex jeans. And, lately, I have become more and more addicted to the high-waisted skinnies which are my salvation during this mad winter time, as they stay in place at my waist and keep me warm. And, still better, they don’t cause me a problem by sliding down when I climb steps or bend down. Actually, I am prepared to make a prediction that high-waisted skinnies are going to be the big new fad this coming season!
Please don’t think me stubborn or dogmatic, I am more than happy to wear a coated or printed pair of jeans once in a great while or for special occasions. Check out these Habitual coated babies, which I love for their edgy knee seam and ankle zipper. But my everyday pair of jeans is PURE DENIM.
So let me share here with you what I have found so far and please send in your “skinny” suggestions which I will gladly follow up!
{Cult brand R13 are my skinny but not so skinny option! Almost denim haute couture}
The Wrangler Europe chick has my typical weekend look right down to the slingback shoes and curly hair! Only difference is that my jeans are DKNY Soho highwaist skinnies. But the look is exactly the same.
