get it before it's gone
My sister hit Cabazon's designer outlet mall on her way home from Palm Springs the other day and scored the most excellent pair of last-season (and sold out everywhere!) Loewe jeans. Now that the pangs of jealousy have subsided, I'm happy to one-up her with this epic white jean score from Khaite. Take that, Coco!
Currently swept up in this spring romance!

Jeans are taking a subtle turn this spring with a slight slit at the hem. The effect: some fresh edge. A few ultra-flattering ones to consider come from The Reformation, DL1961, Zara, Stradivarius, and H&M.

I studied French up until 11th grade, and even though now my comprehension is rusty (at best!), I could still extrapolate from a recent Paris Vogue article which jeans are now le plus chic--in other words, I need to buy pronto! Okay, a few bullet points helped: "Le Baggy, Le Flare 70, Le Bermuda, Le Patchwork." The article sent me on a mission to find the best of these styles state-side: the coup de grace loose-fitting and cuffed jeans by Celine, above, are a must and but also these similar ones by NYDJ and Frame for less money; and oui to these flared Levi's, Re/Done, and AGOLDE, these patchwork Victoria Beckham jeans, and these Goldsign bermudas.

There are lots of things the French are famous for: cuisine, culture, wine, romance, etc. Less obvious but also inspirational is their jean-ious style! They're currently adding a soupcon of sophistication to laid-back denim via a sleek straight-leg, shoe-grazing cut, accented with tailored blazers, trenches, and crewnecks (including the one above here). To pull off Parisian-parfait, try these jeans by Khaite, Frame, J.Brand, and Goldsign. Voila!
