BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

The New News in Denim

July 11, 2007

See ya later, Skinny jeans.  The Wide-Leg is back and it’s hotter than ever.

Unless you’re really (really) thin, skinny jeans are hard to pull off (and on) successfully. The Wide-Leg jean is a looser and much more figure-flattering style.  They fit like regular jeans until the upper thigh where they begin to flare out.  We think it’s a more polished look, kind of like a trouser as opposed to a jean.
 
From our research, it seems fashionistas, the Hollywood set and normal-bodied women everywhere agree – the new Wide-Leg jeans are both cutting edge and flattering.

Our top picks?

1. Hudson Deluxe jean (pictured to the right) – Great colour, flatters the butt, flowy legs, sexy back pockets, double button closure.
2. Paige Denim Hillhurst Stretch jean – Another great option, trouser-style, squared pockets at front and button-flap pockets at back, single button closure.
3. Citizens of Humanity Anchor Wide-Leg – A great choice if you like a more distressed denim look.

We recommend you balance your new Wide-Leg jeans with form-fitting, longer tops for a sleek and sexy look.  Be the fabulous fox that you are.
