    Reformation Jeans Review: Here’s the 411 on Fit & Feel

    When I first wrote this review, in early-2019, we were like a year into mom jeans being super mainstream. Trends come and go, but one trend has unfortunately held on… Our jeans are still destroying the environment. Think of all those toxic chemicals used to dye and thousands of gallons of wasted water… just so…

    Still Worth It?: My Rag & Bone Jeans Review ft. Quality & Sizing Tips

    In 2011, Rag & Bone got my attention with their DIY ad campaigns. I was going through a massive Kings of Leon obsession and their Lily Aldridge campaign pulled me in. So carefree, real, and effortlessly rock ‘n’ roll. In five years, this denim brand has become my favourite. I’ve bought seven pairs of Rag…

    I totally tested these jeans | a Levi’s Wedgie Fit Straight Jeans Review

    Currently in my drawer(s) there are 27 pairs of jeans. … and this isn’t even to mention all the jeans I’ve donated over the years… or my denim shorts. From 2004 (omg remember Earnest Sewn bootcut jeans???) to 2020, a good pair of jeans will bring out your finest assets. In my top shelf drawer,…

    I tried them & wasn’t paid to: a Levi’s Ribcage Jeans Review

    From your dad back home in Ohio to the latest it-girl in France. … everyone wears Levi’s. Except for me, apparently. It makes sense — I’m not your dad and, as hard as I may try, I’m not a French it-girl. When I saw Levi’s Ribcage jeans though, I was like, “hmmm, let’s see if…

    Super soft, but in between sizing | a Boyish Jeans Review

    If you’ve read newinspired before, you know that there’s one topic that I particularly love/hate to talk about: Vintage Levi’s jeans. Those jeans are extremely elusive and mysterious to me. As a result, I’m always after jeans that mimic their style, but don’t require the work involved with sourcing and tailoring them. Enter: Boyish “The…

    Sizing is different for each style, but… | a MOTHER Denim Review

    It’s hard for denim brands to differentiate themselves. … like they all sell the same thing — jeans. MOTHER denim though? There’s this air of California light that surrounds on them. You know the kind I’m talking about — that Echo Park Indie Princess California aura of, ummm, coolness. Fringe is cut by themself, fridge…

    Re/Done Jeans Review: All the Size Details On This Original Denim

    For the past three years, I’ve held off on “mom” jeans. Sure, I’ll dabble in “mom” denim shorts, but a full pair of jeans? Too trendy. I didn’t want to look like another Alexa Chung/Camille Rowe/Jeanne Damas hybrid clone. You know the kind who drinks green juice while puffing on a cigarette, has a collection…

    A.P.C. Women’s Jeans Review: Is Their Denim Worth $220?

    “You’re the Stones? Sing ‘Satisfaction.’ You’re A.P.C.? You’re good at jeans.” That’s Jean Touitou’s, the founder of A.P.C., compelling analogy of A.P.C.’s signature piece: their jeans. Since 1987, A.P.C. knows what works: timeless basics. On any given French person in the 3ème arrondissement, it’s all A.P.C., all the time… actually on any French person in…
