J Brand Houlihan Cargo in Vintage Olive
Skinny cargos are all the rage right now and they’re a great way to tap into that utilitarian vibe without looking like you’re ready for battle. These ain’t your mamas cargos ladies! The look still embodies that relaxed, reversed silhouette but it’s been updated with an even more edged out vibe.
Embrace your inner bad ass by adding a little bit of hardware to your wardrobe. Snaps, buttons, grommets and spikes are embellishing everything from hats to jeans these days. Just be careful not to overdo it, one piece will deliver the statement. Make sure you tone down the rest of your ensemble too. For instance, pair the Current Elliott studded jeans below with a simple white tank and some black booties and you’re good to go!
Who isn’t making a boyfriend jean these days?
This trend is pretty literal actually. Imagine slipping on your boyfriend’s most comfy pair of jeans to run out and grab the paper — now wear them for the rest of the day! Slouchy, worn in and often cuffed since your boyfriend’s got a couple of inches on you. Personally, I feel Current Elliott (Founded by celebrity stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliott) really jump started this trend back in Summer of 08. Their line dropped right around the same time we began seeing Katie Holmes sporting the look all over New York.
Now, brands such as J Brand, Joe’s and Paige Premium Denim have all ‘rolled’ out their own take on this hot trend. (no pun intended!)
J Brand Boyfriend Jean in Vida wash style#1257
Sara Jessica Parker in Current Elliot
Wilshire Boyfriend Straight Leg Jeans in Rebel
Joe's Jeans Ex-Lover / Gemma Boyfriends
This style would look great with a pair of ankle booties or with a cute pair of flats.
Just experiment and have fun with it!
