Letβs get one thing clear before we dive in: at this point, we consider skinny jeans a classic. Theyβve got a permanent place in our wardrobe, in a multitude of colours, and a variety of cuts. Theyβre a staple. We love them β donβt DM us. That said, thereβs a style of jeans we are seeing everywhere at the moment, the shape is all over our insta feed and weβre here for it.Β
When we chatted with Canberra stylist and fashion blogger (and all-around cool chick) Kimberley Sara, founder of The Style Side, she agreed this new breed of denim was one worth investing in.
βDenim is universally loved, and with good reason β itβs the perfect core item to build any outfit around: durable, versatile, and effortlessly stylish,β Kimberley says. βRight now, high-waisted, straight leg jeans are my go-to style. Think a blend of vintage Levi’s with modern, distressed detailing. I love the effortless and relaxed fit contrasted with a fitted top and a sleek ankle boot.β
