DENIM PLAYSUIT // BLACK WIDE LEGS // DARK WASH WIDE LEGS // BARN JACKET // LIGHT WASH WIDE LEGS // COLORED DENIM
Beginning to hunt for fall denim — these chocolate brown beauties are so good. They’re less of a barrel fit, but Gap has a really chic pair in chocolate brown, too — I think I’ll order these in the petite length. I have really good luck with Gap denim. The fit and quality are always incredible, especially given the reasonable price.
Other favorite finds so far this season: this wide leg is classic — or maybe opt for this tan. LOVE this Madewell barrel jean (and so do you Magpies – these were a bestseller this past week) and this dark wash crop.
As I mentioned last week, I think the barrel / gaucho styles will remain relevant this season, as will wide legs — so hang onto those or contemplate an investment. These AYRs, these La Lignes, and these Pistolas nail a just-enough-of-the-barrel-trend balance. These Agolde Dames or any of Veronica Beard’s Taylor styles are very trendy for wide legs. The cuffed wide leg style was super in last year; I’d go with these for the year ahead.
If you like the wide-leg look but think you’ll drown in them, consider Agolde’s Ren — a wide-ish leg but a sleek, high-rise silhouette that shows some ankle. Vibe for less with this Gap pair.
For a transitional pop of color: this brick red is divine, or try them in the dark wash drop hem style.
Most of my friends (like, at least half) swear by Mother jeans. They release silhouettes that just work and fit great — plus, they have a dedicated petites section. I find a lot of their styles are airplane-comfortable. Their Hustlers are specifically a fantastic, slimming fit for tucking into boots. I really want to try this style (modified barrel / gaucho / etc), but it keeps selling out.
If you’re into a statement jean, I’ve been seeing the Ulla J. Olympias all over Instagram! On sale in a cool marigold color that could be good for fall. Imagine with a navy blazer.)
On the dress front: I recently shared a bunch of my favorite denim dresses, but with an eye toward transitioning pieces into fall, I’d consider this and this. So good with a leather sandal or a tall boot as it gets colder. And I’m still obsessing over VB’s denim waistcoat (so good with white jeans!) — look for less with this.
Finally, denim jackets! I’m drooling over this Loewe. I did find this Nili Lotan with a similar contrasting cord collar but it doesn’t have that swingy shape to its body — a bit more tailored — and I still think this boxy Gap steal would be a good way to scratch the itch. Or how about this La Ligne chore jacket?! If those are too boxy / boyish for you, you might consider this tailored denim jacket from JCrew Factory!
