So interesting Helena. I agree with your direction - interested to see what you end up with.

I didn’t update my denim this winter because I was really happy with my existing collection. I have skinny cords that I like but the others are different styles of straight. Black bootcuts are what I am thinking of for next winter.

Notsaf great suggestions thank you! Sal black boot cuts sounds fab!

I like them, but wouldn't call them dressy. Darker wash, black, coated, pleather, velvet, and boot cut or trouser jeans would be dressier.
