Ways To Wear: Cargo Jeans

Formerly a quintessential 90's vibe, 2023 has been THE year of the cargo comeback. Multiple pockets are a must. Want a style that's a little different from popular casual pants picks? Give our cargo jeans a try. A shape similar to our much-loved wide leg jeans, these come in a variety of washes. Like olive (as seen on Faye), to give the illusion of classic cargo pants. For daytime, keep it casj: style with oversized comfy basics and neutral accessories to really make the olive pop.

To dress it up for evening, it’s all about super-feminine fabrics and details to contrast with the cargos' utilitarian look and feel. Faye’s go-to evening look? Lace and layers. Team with lace bodysuits or corset tops. Finish with heels for a sultry look that doesn’t compromise comfort. Don’t forget an oversized faux leather jacket to stay toasty.

 

Ways To Wear: Flared Jeans

The most notable decade-defining denim style? It has to be the flared jean. The slightly bell-bottom cut started in the 70's, deep-rooting itself into our denim collection the past few years thanks to the flares’ flattering fit. Laura's kept it neutral for her everyday look, mixing creamy tones and textures like our fleece bag and loafers: all the focus is on those flares.

Evening out? She’s championing blue hues. Go for an oversized poplin shirt to balance out the proportion. Slip on open toe heels to show off some skin and elongate those legs. Finish with our pearl-accented handbag and gold jewelry for a little luxe.
