Dark Denim
I'd been hunting for dark, skinny, straight-leg jeans for what seems like ages, and coming up empty-handed until I ran into special sections director Liz Kiernan last week, when she was sporting what seemed like the perfect pair. Hers were narrow but not bunchy at the ankles, and the wash was uniformly indigo (no whiskering, distressed edges, or contrast stitching, all of which I'm increasingly tired of). She told me they were by Rag & Bone, so I headed straight to Barneys New York for a closer look. After trying on numerous styles by a slew of different labels, the Rag & Bone indeed proved the best. They're made of lightweight denim with just a hint of stretch, so they conform nicely to your shape, and the waistband hits at exactly the right place—not too high, not too low. And the sharp lines and deep hue give them an appealingly grown-up and ladylike feel. Though they were a bit of a splurge, I'm already sure I'll wear them enough that their cost-per-use will make them well worth the price.
This is awesome. I've been looking for a pair like this myself. I always find your posts useful... thanks!!! :)
These are awesome. They might even be able to go to work (at least on a Friday, right?).
