I talk a lot about knitwear and fleece jackets this time of year, but jeans are the core of my winter wardrobe. My Levi's get the most wear, followed by a newly purchased relaxed-fit pair by Amo and a dark wash straight-leg jean from Reformation. I have most of my bases covered in the denim department, in terms of having a fancier pair that I can dress up with a silk blouse and a comfy, casual pair that I can throw on to run to the bodega or to a late lunch, but I'm missing "fun" pants. "Fun" pants are those conversation-starting bottoms that you keep forever, because they're the equivalent to a sartorial smile — they brighten up your closet and therefore your life. Still Here, a New York-based premium denim label, specializes in "fun" pants. Launched in 2017, the brand makes jeans with playful additions, like hand-painted stripes and chainstitch embroidery. Most of the pairs come in a business in the front, party in the back style, meaning the front of the pants look like well-constructed blue jeans, while the back is where the fun (see below) comes in.  Still Here Tate Cropped Striped High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans, $280, available here. I would like to bring color to my denim collection with a high-rise straight-leg style. Not only do they come in my ideal cropped cut and not-too-snug fit, but they also feature a bold stripe pattern down the back. Here's hoping they go well with my new footwear obsession: clogs!

| Found: Women’s Jeans That Won’t Go Out of Style - The Wall Street Journal Posted: 30 Nov 2019 12:00 AM PST  AT CURRENT count, there are 18 pairs of jeans in my closet, not including whatever lurks in the storage bins under my bed. Of that bloated group, only three are in regular rotation. The rest—too skinny, too stretch, too cropped and gently flared, too "mom jeans"—have been rendered dated by the new and cool, and shelved or downgraded to something that I will only wear to the airport. When the denim gods speak, it's usually in a whisper that moves the needle forward ever so slightly. Marginally tweaked leg cuts go in and out, rises move up and down by mere centimeters. The wash of the moment is no longer, say, classic indigo but its fraternal twin: vintage indigo. An accumulation of those incremental changes results in jeans that can look jarringly wrong within a few years. Those step-hem jeans you had to have in 2016—whose hems look like they were given a mullet cut with a pair of kitchen shears—belong in a time capsule. " 'Staying on-trend can be an exhausting, not to mention expensive, exercise in denim acrobatics.' " Staying on-trend can be an exhausting, not to mention expensive, exercise in denim acrobatics. And yet I compulsively partake, along with countless other women. A total of 364 million pairs of women's jeans were sold in the U.S. over the 12-month period ending in February 2019 (a 16.4% increase from the previous year), according to the NPD Group, a market research group. Today, I feel the gravitational pull of a straight leg with a mid-high waist, classic blue wash and no stretch. My instinct has been validated by a number of jean professionals, including Marianne McDonald, creative director of Citizens of Humanity, the L.A.-based denim brand. "We've had nearly a decade of slim and skinny shapes. Now people are embracing silhouettes that are looser from the body," she said. "The shifts happen so slightly until it builds up into a landslide and you're like, 'Oh, I want something entirely different." What's coming down the runways and the culture at large dictates such change. We're in a moment where authenticity and comfort hold valuable social currency. "That takes form in the shape of flatter shoes and styles that have a little bit more ease," said Ms. McDonald, noting that one of Citizen's leading styles, the Charlotte, has a '90s-inspired cut that sits high on the waist, with a straight leg and 100% non-stretch cotton. Pure cotton doesn't have the ease of stretch, but it ages beautifully, softening to your shape. "There's a nostalgic love of the '90s happening in fashion right now," confirmed Jill Guenza, VP of global women's design at Levi Strauss & Co. "That era was all about straight-leg Levi's 501s worn high on the waist and snug through the hips." Levi's original 501s, designed in 1873, remain remarkably relevant—and flattering. At $98, they are a cynicism-free investment piece. While they reached a peak in Princess Diana's style-icon heyday, they look just as trim and unimpeachable now. If classic 501s are the baseline for the latest "it" jeans, that's good news for those who are tired of chasing objectively weird-looking trends like cropped mini-flares. The new trend is timelessness, and the '90s nostalgia guiding things is more classic than grunge. Branding is subtle: See the low-key black enamel and brass button at the waist of Khaite's best-selling high-rise Danielle jean, pictured at left. Those jeans are an example of the trend on the MatchesFashion e-commerce site, according to its head of womenswear Cassie Smart. "It just feels like a new silhouette that's going to work hard in your wardrobe and not date." Granted, an unpredictable return to low-rise Paris Hilton-style flares could throw us all for a loop soon, but this straight style does appear to have staying power. New York-based denim label B Sides does washes in shades including indigo with a vintage patina. The cuts are based on classic men's tailored jeans, such as the Arts Jean with a mid-high waist and straight leg. "It's the movement away from the skinny jean," said co-founder Stacy Daily. She wanted to offer something "ageless and demographic-less." Simple and untrendy, these pieces recall the original Levi's made for men and worn by everyone. Even seasoned pros get denim burnout. It led photographer and stylist Stevie Dance to launch the brand the Feel Studio last year under the premise that a single jean can satisfy all of your denim needs and withstand trends. "I didn't have time to sort through a sea of jeans for the rest of my life," she said. The Genuine Jean is what Ms. Dance considers a universally flattering silhouette: a straight-leg jean in 100% cotton. Lest the concept sound a little too "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," the Feel site offers thorough tips that let you choose a size according to fit preference. After taking the fit quiz and corresponding with Ms. Dance, who often answers customers' emails and DMs personally, I ordered three pairs in the same cut ranging from a size 25 to a 28. One was snug, one was straight, one was oversize. Miraculously, they all fit, in different ways. Blue.

| Why You Should Shop Tencel Denim - Sustainable Denim and Jeans - Cosmopolitan Posted: 18 Dec 2019 12:00 PM PST  Cosmopolitan l Amy Armani If you're in the market for new jeans (aka me, always), there's a certain shopping ritual you'll need to perform before making a final decision. It's a timeworn practice that occurs while wiggling your way into a potential purchase—a sartorial checklist of sorts designed to weed out all options that fall short of your personal denim criteria. Is this the right fit? How about the wash? Will they need to be hemmed? But once you're done executing a few squats around the dressing room to ensure you can actually move in the pants, consider adding one more question to your list: Is this the best choice I could make for the environment? Trust me, I get it. The search for good jeans alone is challenging enough, but it's important for all of us to take a sec and think about how the fashion industry, and our roles within it, is seriously damaging our lovely lady Earth. Both the consumption and production of garments creates environmental issues including pollution, landfill waste, and excessive water usage, with denim ranking as one of the top offenders. Do I have your attention yet? I'm definitely not saying to stop shopping all together, but you can help protect the planet by shopping smarter. And thanks to fabulous fabrics like those from TENCEL™, you'll look pretty damn good while doing it. Here's everything you need to know about what this textile is and how it can totally transform your wardrobe… and the world. So what is TENCEL™? There are lots of buzzwords that get tossed around in the sustainability space (renewables! carbon sequestration! greenwashing!). TENCEL™ is one you should expect to hear more of—and one a conscious consumer should definitely know about. Its fibers are among the best environmentally friendly fibers around and a green alternative for your closet staples because it's made from trees. Yes, trees, people! The same stuff used for furniture and paper could also be used for your clothes when mixed with cotton scraps. Pretty cool, right? Ok ok, but what makes it so much better for the environment? Now you may hear the word "tree" and immediately think deforestation, but TENCEL™ is awesome because its fibers are made of wood sourced from sustainably managed forests, which means no endangered or ancient trees were sacrificed in the name of style. This sustainable material is biodegradable because it's manufactured in a way that allows it to eventually return to nature, reducing the amount of textile waste that gets tossed in a landfill. By combining these sustainable fibers with upcycled cotton and using significantly less water throughout the dyeing stage, it's fair to say that TENCEL™ fibers are the super product of a process that's eco-friendly from start to finish. What does it have to do with jeans? TENCEL™ fibers are wildly versatile and can be used for everything from outerwear and sportswear to lingerie to bedding. But when it comes to jeans, it totally revolutionizes denim DNA. The fabric itself hits the textile trifecta because it's breathable, soft, and wrinkle resistant. Better pants, better planet. What's not to love? How do I shop it? Enter: Boyish Jeans, a pioneer in sustainable women's denim that's as good for the environment as it is for your Insta feed. The label's vintage-inspired shapes and styles are fresh from the West Coast, and its signature use of men's cuts tailored for the female frame make for a badass take on your regular old jean. Every pair is made from new technologies including— you guessed it—TENCEL™ fibers (!!), which allows for water to be recycled, garment waste to be limited, and carbon footprints to be reduced.    Most of all, Boyish Jeans will take your denim game to the next level with a laid-back vibe fit for the coolest of California girls and beyond. Go for a high-waisted classic like The Roy in the dreamily-named Starman colorway, or try something new, like the super wide leg of The Charley in a pre-faded wash. If you're into winter white (and you should be), try The Bailey in Vertigo. This straight leg carpenter jean will instantly upgrade all your favorite turtlenecks and sweaters. No matter what aesthetic you go for, opting to shop a brand like Boyish sends a deliberate message that you care about our planet. And if you ask me, that's exactly what a good sense of style looks like. Still need more incentive?
