Fashion editors have impeccably high wardrobe standards, and they're even more selective when packing for vacation. There's a 99% chance that denim will make it into their suitcases, but they're not taking just any pair of jeans with them.
To help you pack for your vacation like an editor, I got some intel from Who What Wear's luxury fashion director, Michaela Bushkin, who's dishing on which denim is worth bringing along on your summer travels. She had one resounding answer: Calvin Klein. From its luxe-looking white denim to its ultra-flattering jean shorts, the brand has so many good styles that it's hard to narrow down which to bring!
Keep reading to shop Michaela's favorite styles and see exactly why this affordable luxury denim earns her stamp of approval.
What's the quality of Calvin Klein denim? What makes it a must-have for travel?
Calvin Klein's premium, high-quality denim and modern yet timeless silhouettes will make every vacation outfit look expensive, whether you pair it with a tank top and slim sneakers or a silk cami and kitten heels. Calvin Klein's jeans are composed of 100% cotton and made to withstand every season and trend cycle, which earns them Michaela's stamp of approval as a worthwhile investment you'll want to reach for (and pack) for years to come.
I want to feel confident on vacation. Is Calvin Klein's denim flattering?
Fashion editors are always in the know about the best and most flattering jeans, and Michaela says Calvin Klein stands out in this area. "Its entire range of denim, including jeans, skirts, jackets, and more, comes in modern cuts that flatter every body," she tells me.
Plus, Calvin Klein has seemingly endless inseam and sizing options to ensure you find the style that makes you look and feel your best, which we all know is super important on vacation. "Given this extensive range, Calvin Klein is the place to shop to find your perfect jeans, shorts, and skirts," Michaela says. While you can't go wrong with any pair, Michaela is partial to the 90s Straight ($99) and Low Rise Baggy ($129) jeans for their effortless style and versatility, and the 90s Mini Skirt ($99) for a sweet spin on a classic pair of jeans.
Why do so many editors and models like Calvin Klein jeans?
Calvin Klein is an iconic heritage brand with cultural prominence. It's one of those contemporary-cool brands that stands the test of time and is beloved by celebrities, models, and everyday fashion people alike. Whether you're vacationing locally or abroad, you can't help but feel like an It girl when you wear Calvin Klein denim, and Michaela playfully notes that wearing the denim is one surefire way to get recognized as a fashion person.
