fade in

When Who What Wear's Katherine Power showed up at a Lucky cover shoot last year wearing a pair of faded jeans, I was inspired to put them into heavier rotation myself. And to keep them looking fresh and more polished, I've been teaming them with unexpected, fancier pieces, like stylist Giovanna Battaglia, above. My jeans are by Paige, and they're perfectly faded and fit like a glove. I also love these flattering light-washed pairs from Current Elliot (on sale), J. Brand, and Citizens of Humanity.
