off duty denim

 

Just like the Italians, my jeans take a vacation every August. They bask peacefully in the dark corners of my closet, enjoying their well-earned break. During this traditional downtime, however, they also plan how and who they will spend their time come fall. Already, they've come up with some good ideas including a belted leather jacket similar to above, a long Madewell trench with perhaps nothing underneath (how novel and daring!), with a statement Sezane coat, an oversized shacket like this and this, a chunky turtleneck that doubles as outerwear for as long as possible, and, of course, as always, some delicate lace.
