“Wider and more relaxed fits have made their way back into the fashion crowd’s closets in recent seasons, but they’re now showing up in the broader audience. There is more versatility in the looser fits, easily dressed up for a sophisticated chic look with blazers, blouses, or any elevated shirt; or dressed down effortlessly with crop tees, tanks, bodysuits, etc. And with the right shoe, no other fit is as editorial. Our Clove relaxed vintage straight has been a recent go-to for editor and stylist requests, and has become a new fan favorite; even Emily Ratajkowski featured her own signature version in our EmRata x AG collection. It’s the perfect balance of relaxed leg and low-slung waist for that classic denim look. And if you want a more stand-out style, we’ve created the Kora, a high-rise wide leg, for those looking to make a statement.” – John Rossell, director of marketing and creative
“We created the Jetset pants as the answer to the age-old issue of how to look good (really good) when you’re traveling. Our best-seller right now is high-waisted, super stretchy, and has a flared leg, with no hardware or pockets. Very chic yet so comfortable. It started out as an editor and model favorite and now we literally cannot keep it in stock.” – Erik Torstensson, co-founder and creative director
“Cuffs have quickly become a staple of the season. The Dame Jean features a waist accentuating high rise, a loose fit through the hips and a wide flare leg with an untacked cuff. I love pairing this fit with a sleek tank or adding a bit of drama to your denim-on-denim look with our ultra-relaxed Camryn Shirt.” – Karen Phelps, creative director
“This year, our customers are really loving our 90s Straight Jean. We spent so much time really perfecting this essential straight style. The result? A jean that snatches the waist, perks up the bum and lengthens the leg. It’s essential because you can pair it with all kinds of shoes, from casual sneakers to heels. It’s the time of year to incorporate boots and they are not always the easiest shoe to pair with denim. Our customers reach for the Kick Out Crop year after year because they pair so perfectly with any kind of boot. The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean is incredibly flattering, too, no matter what shoe you pair it with.” – Mary Pierson, SVP denim design
“The Horseshoe is such a captivating silhouette. It’s one of those pairs that always elicits a few people asking, ‘Where did you get those?’. In developing this style, I was drawn to outsized proportions. It was fun to play with the idea of vintage Western jeans and layer in a retro-futuristic vibe. They are fashioned with a sculptural, curved wide leg and a frayed hem. We paired this silhouette with denim from Europe and Japan which really imparts a sense of luxury. I personally love these with a blouse and a heel. They give a really incredible shape to the wearer that feels equal parts sexy and vintage.” – Marianne McDonald, creative director
“The Astley taps into the trend of the season: Cuffs. With wide, upturned folds – they’re stitched to ensure they always look perfect. This pair sits high on the waist and is cut from rigid organic denim that’s slightly distressed for a vintage-inspired feel. I love this fit styled with one of our stretch knit bodysuits and a shearling coat.” – Karen Phelps, creative director
“Our must-have denim essential for fall 2023 is centered around the resurgence of the low-waist trend, a style that’s making a strong comeback this season. We’re particularly excited about two distinct fits that epitomize this trend. First, our ‘Kyoto’ features a slouchy, loose-flared silhouette that exudes effortless cool and modern flair. Its wide leg gracefully widens from the thigh to the bottom, offering a perfect balance between classic craftsmanship and modern aesthetics. Meanwhile, our style ‘Lili’ is also experiencing a surge in popularity, thanks to its captivating aesthetics. The amplified flare proportions, distinct pocket design, and rigid raw denim create a truly distinctive and elevated dressed look.” – Lena Patriksson Keller, cofounder of Jeanerica
