The summer should be laid-back, easy, and relaxing, which means I won't be trying to squeeze into any clothing that pinches, constricts, or inhibits movement. Thankfully, according to our senior fashion editor, Anneliese Henderson, the summer's hottest denim trend is relaxed, effortless jeans. I've been wanting to update my wardrobe, and taking on this new aesthetic is the perfect place to start. I asked Anneliese to send me her top denim recommendations, and she surprised me by including six pairs from Calvin Klein.
Of course, I had questions about the brand and why she recommends it so highly. Here are her answers.
I don't want to keep replacing my jeans. Will Calvin Klein jeans last?
Anneliese let me in on a little secret: It girls and fashion people can wear any clothes they want, and many of them are choosing relaxed Calvin Klein denim as their summer pant of choice because of its high-quality construction and clean design. Calvin Klein jeans are premium and made to last year after year, making them an editor-approved investment.
Will Calvin Klein jeans look good on me?
Calvin Klein jeans come in tons of ultra-flattering cuts and a range of inseam and sizing options to help you find your best fit. Whichever style you choose, this denim enhances your body and is comfortable enough to wear all day, making it the denim you'll reach for all summer long. The baggy styles, in particular, have a flattering, low-cut waist and are made of 100% cotton, so they're as soft as they are stylish.
Why is Calvin Klein every It girl's favorite denim brand?
Calvin Klein is a heritage "cool" brand and has been an authority in fashion and culture ever since the late '70s, Anneliese tells me. The brand was one of the first—if not the first—to take denim from workwear to a symbol of style. Now celebrities, models, editors, It girls, and street style stars reach for Calvin Klein denim as a representation of their attitude, identity, and style.
