It's me again, here to update you on coolest jeans I’ve spotted this month. I’ve sort of outgrown my current denim dossier and was on the hunt for a few new pairs, but before I started looking, I gave myself some strict criteria: no rips, no baggy silhouettes, and nothing light-wash. J Brand has mastered the art of the perfect jeans, so of course, it was the first brand I turned to while searching for a new pair. Unsurprisingly, I was not disappointed and found eight pairs I now can’t stop thinking about. Let’s hope I hit the jackpot so I can purchase every single piece from its new collection, but for now, here are my favorites.
Cognac-brown, snake-print leather pants are the epitome of Badass with a capital B. These babies also have a matching blazer, giving me all the early 2000s red carpet feels.
J Brand has been mastering coated denim since I can remember, and this season is no different. This skinny black pair gives a leather-jean effect, giving you an unlimited amount of going-out outfits no matter the occasion.
Not only is this color holiday-apropos, but it also has just the right amount of distressing at the leg opening to give it some edge.
I’m always down for a good cropped flare, but the true-blue wash of these is what stands out to me. The clean silhouette gives this pair an elevated vibe, even if you decide to wear a T-shirt with it.
High-rise black jeans, but make them fancy. These are satin, making them perfect for a more formal event when you want to ditch the LBD.
This wouldn't be a J Brand jeans roundup without a pair (or two) of skinny jeans. You can never go wrong with a jet-black pair, so if you were looking to add one to your wardrobe, make it this.
Did you ever think velvet flares would look this good? This ultra-flattering pair is at the top of my list this season.
And finally, for those times when I want to slip on my over-the-knee boots, these dark-wash, high-rise skinny jeans will save the day. The second-skin silhouette will never go out of style in my book and is a perfect pair to always have in your closet.
