Not Skinny Jeans, Not High-Rise Jeans: 3 Denim Trends From Calvin Klein Fashion People Will Wear for Summer
New York City finally hit a balmy 80° today, and as I was sifting through my wardrobe this morning, trying to find something to wear, it hit me: My denim collection could use a serious upgrade. The jeans hanging in my closet are outdated, from the washes to the cut to the fit, so I did what I do best: a bit of online shopping.
After some careful research, it became evident that baggy jeans (both shorts and pants), low-rise styles, and of course, white denim are trending for summer. Instead of sourcing multiple retailers to find the looks I'm craving, I knew I could get everything I need from Calvin Klein. Here's why.
Calvin Klein Has Over 170 Denim Styles to Choose From
Even when I'm narrowing down my denim styles to three categories, I still like to have options. In the Calvin Klein women's denim section alone, there are 174 styles to choose from, including skirts, pants, and shorts in wide-leg, loose, straight, baggy, flare, and high-rise styles. While I'm less particular about my wash—I lean toward white and dark washes, but I do like a vintage-inspired shade—I appreciate that most pairs have at least 10 wash options to choose from.
The Fit Is Flattering
There's a reason that models, celebs, fashion girls, and editors have all been coveting Calvin Klein jeans since the late '70s: They fit like a glove. With sizes ranging from 27–33, a range of inseams, and high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise styles, there's an option to suit a variety of body types. Calvin Klein also has superior quality and construction, so the denim is comfortable enough to wear all day—no tight bands or buttons digging into your waist.
The Brand's Icon Status Is Undeniable
The cultural impact of Calvin Klein is undeniable. Its denim has reached holy-grail status for the Who What Wear editors, and there's no one I trust more for fashion advice than my coworkers. If I'm going to wear denim to arguably one of the most stylish offices in NYC—or on the streets, where every day is a runway show—it needs to be cool, trending, and recognizable. Calvin Klein checks all my boxes.
