The denim assortment at the sale was pretty good this year, and across a wider assortment of sizes than usual. There was a small assortment of casual and dressy pants, and some winners among them. There were even fewer skirts, because it’s a dress season. There was a lot of Athleisure, which most of my clients were done purchasing sixteen months into the pandemic, but by all means take a peek at the full set of offerings if that’s your thing.
- Wit & Wisdom Ab-Solution Raw Hem Straight Leg Jeans: These jeans work on a range of body types because they mould to the body. A fairly even darker wash, and the whiskering is more flattering than you expect. Rise not too high. Might need to size down.
- NYDJ Marilyn Straight Leg Jeans: Floral Jeans Fabness. Bootcuts are making an on-trend comeback, and these fit the bill. They fit a straighter and curvier body type. Good mid-length rise. Great length for taller gals, and you might need to size down. Fab '70s integrity.
- Wit & Wisdom Ab-Solution High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans: Good relaxed and cuffed on-trend jeans that fit a range of body types. The front pocket detailing adds a nice touch. You might need to size down, especially when you're straighter in the hips and thighs.
- Madewell The Perfect Vintage Jeans: These have been good on a curvier body type. The rise is quite high, so pass if you prefer a mid-length rise. They have been great on those who are long in the rise.
- Levi's Ribcage High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans: The best on-trend jeans at the sale. Flattering, fun, and comfortable. Not too tight, and fluidly fab. Streamlined, and smart casual.
- AG Ex-Boyfriend Relaxed Slim Jeans: These worked well for a straighter and curvier figure, but run big. I liked them best cuffed or rolled at the hem. A few clients rocked them with a belt.
- Boss Tiluna Slim Wool & Silk Suit Pants: I haven't seen these in person yet, but have them on order to go with a matching blazer. Hugo Boss often uses a silky wool for its suiting, which is luxe and gorgeous. The rise is a good length, and the fit fluidly tailored. I will have them altered if the fit is almost dead right.
- Zella Live In Jogger Pants: These have been a hit with clients since the start of the pandemic and continue to be popular. They are comfortable, easy to launder, and there is plenty of length for Team Tall. Fab for Zoom meetings with a dressed up top.
- Spanx Faux Leather Jogger Pants: If you like joggers and faux leather, try these. Roomier than faux leather leggings and quite breathable. Might need to size down.
- Nordstrom Everyday Skinny Fit Stretch Cotton Ankle Pants: These look better in person. They are skinny, but not quite as skinny as jeggings. They are substantial, a nice colour, and not as high in the rise as they look. Comes in black.
- Levi's Levi’s 501 High Waist Crop Straight Leg Jeans: These trendy jeans look good on a range of body types, and can be worn tailored or fluidly tailored. They don't have much stretch. Nice even wash. Size up for a more fluid fit.
- Boss Telareama Button Accent Crop Pants: Gorgeous, luxe, different, and fits a curvier and straighter body type. Fun side seam buttons. Rise is quite high, but drapes well on the body.
- Nili Lotan Jenna Slim Crop Stretch Twill Pants: If you're curvier and like a mid-length rise, try these. They have worked well on petites.
- WASH LAB Pieced Denim Skirt: This midaxi is a LOT of skirt, and makes quite the statement. It has an architectural vibe to it, and is quite unique. It's soft and stretchy, and very comfy. Comes in blue.
- Boss Emkara Cotton Blend Pencil Skirt: One of my 80-year-old clients sent me a photo of herself in this skirt with the matching top to create a two-piece dress, and took my breath away. KILLER GORGEOUS, luxe and chic. Beautiful with her salt and pepper hair, and comfy to boot. Get the matching top!
- Caslon Sweater Knit Skirt: A very easy and comfy knitted skirt with fun side slits that aren't too revealing.
- Cinq A Sept Azure Crop Wide Leg Jeans: I have these on order because I've liked the brand in the past and adore the wide leg silhouette. The fabric might be a little too thin for my liking, but I will report back soonest.
- Cinq A Sept Tous Les Jour Giles Joggers: These are a repeat style that do well every season, if you like the idea of a jogger and harem pants hybrid. They are VERY lightweight so consider yourself warned. They work well on a range of body types because they are forgiving. They look good with UNTUCKED tops, and are a delicious shade of teal.
- Halogen Pleated Faux Leather Maxi Skirt: This skirt works on a range of body types because it moulds to the body. The pleats lie flat and create a streamlined effect. It has worked well on petites.
