Deep down, I’m a jeans girl through and through, just like Kendall Jenner. My frequent denim columns for Vogue probably give that away. I sometimes wonder if I lean on jeans a bit too much—should I try something more structured or flowy? But then I see Jenner in stiff, blue straight-leg jeans and a tiny Almost Famous jacket for a friend date at the iconic LA spot Sushi Park, and I remember: jeans can absolutely look polished. I don’t need to quit my denim habit just yet; they’re perfectly suitable for dressier moments, too.
She’s not alone in championing stiff, blue straight-legs for spring. Harry Styles recently wore a similar pair to the Grammys (let’s bring jeans back to red carpets!), and Alexa Chung was spotted in Paris at the Dior couture show in a pair of rigid blue cigarette jeans I’ve been desperately trying to find. Even Connor Storrie from Heated Rivalry is on board, recently photographed with co-star François Arnaud in straight, selvedge jeans and a ’70s-style leather aviator jacket.
They’re a favorite at Vogue HQ as well. My colleague Charlotte Rutter is often seen in the office in her rigid straight-legs, styled with a crisp white shirt and loafers. “I like that the rigid ones look a bit more intentional and polished,” she says. “They’re the perfect middle ground between comfort and smartness, without having to wear proper tailored trousers.”
Sure, I might not be heading to a $400 sushi dinner in West Hollywood with Kendall Jenner right this second, but that doesn’t mean I can’t dress the part.
