Things I Love: Jean Current Favorites
TLDR: How I wear jeans, things that have got to go, inseam minimum = 33', the pool is cool, and thoughts on skinny
I was / still am holding onto jeans that are just not for me. Not built for me — these are jeans with an inseam less than 33 inches. I thought I would do a roundup of my current favorites jeans, in the hopes that it will encourage me to get rid of those that (literally) fall short. Even if one has a smaller inseam, these jeans (for the most part) could be tailored to perfection.
My personal taste in jeans right now/for the past ~2 years has been pooling on the floor (a difficult look for me to achieve because of my inseam). I don’t ever want to go back to ankle length … ever. You also will not catch me dressing jeans for a night out unless its something really good. Going out top + jeans is just not it for me — feels a little rookie (with love).
Quickly, a few things I really dislike about current jean trends 😄.
I just do not like this ribbon. I know that the jean bow is not going to look like that, Frame.
When the waist like is criss cross. just not for me. don’t know who it is for but it has got to go. this is probably my least favorite jean trend. It’s giving — I do not know how to dress 😉
My Favorites
Anine Bing Hugh Jean: Inseam: 34”.. I have them in Bleached Blue and I love this vibe, especially in the winter. With a white turtleneck — you are frostier than NYC is going to be next week. *I do not like frayed bottom jeans, there are other styles in the other colors*
DL1961 Taylor Barrel Jean: Inseam: 33”. These suit so many body types — and you can rent them on Rent the Runway… I got them in a size up and pull them down to more of a low/mid-rise and they are a vibe. My sister wear them every day fr. So comfy for the entire day
L’Agence Selma Bootcut: 34”.. These are the skinniest I will go but the flare on the bottom evens it all out. So comfortable, big hoodie on top, vibe.
Mother Rambler Sneak: 34”. Planes jeans that aren’t the Miramar. These are so soft, comfy, straight down, vibe with an oversized whatever.
Citizens of Humanity Annina Jean: 34”. I did return these because I did not like the wash I got, but these were mad comfy, and are also available on RTR!!
Slvrlake Cassie: 34”. Pocket detailing is just ….!!
On Skinny
My Paige Verdugos were staples of my 2013-2016 closet. And the Rag and Bone skinny skinny jeans. Had to be ankle length.
Intellectually, we know why skinny jeans were in for so long (body policing, objectification, gendered expectations, the fashion industry perpetuating unrealistic standards, yada yada yada). They are just not a good vibe with all this baggage….
I have been noticing some skinny jeans revival content . . . but like…why….
Databutmakeitfashion says no . . . no . . . and more no.
If she says its out, it’s f*cking out. 296% for baggy is great for the girlies!!!
