The Search for Perfect Denim

FashionOutfits
Jul 7, 201722 Comments

I’ve been on the hunt for a while for the perfect black wash jeans. I’m incredibly picky with my denim so this has been a search that has gone on for months. It’s the basics in your closet that are most important, so it is something worth putting research into! My perfect pair could not be solid black (this tends to be so unflattering in my opinion) and they had to have a great fit. I decided to try a denim fit that I knew I loved, the AG denim Stilt jean. Lucky for me they had exactly the kind of wash I was looking for and they were cropped the way I like. I’ve owned two pairs of AG Stilts in the past, I do believe I have them in storage right now. The fit is really comfortable and flattering, especially if you’re long waisted and short legged like me!

Jeans like these are so easy to throw on with a rock tee, vintage blazer, and good shoes. I recently bought these Robert Clergerie x Self Portrait heels and I love them. They remind me of some shoes I loved from the Balmain spring 2009 collection. Definitely a favorite fashion memory.

    That jeans+heels combination is killer! Love the cut and wash of the denim, and now I need to give the Robert Clergerie x Self Portrait collection a look :)
