Straight-Leg Jeans

"Classic straight jeans continue to trend and are a style I like to wear with loafers, sneakers, or Chelsea boots."

Slip Skirts

"The versatile slip skirt is everywhere and easy to style with sneakers or Chelsea boots for a chic, casual look." 

Faux-Leather Trousers

"Faux-leather pants are trending and always look sharp and sophisticated. Wear them with a chunky-loafer-and-sock combination for a modern look."

Joggers

"Comfortable joggers can look chic when styled with modern sneakers and a utility jacket. Add a long camel coat and Chelsea boots as the weather turns cool." 

Black Denim
