SHOPPING GUIDE

Your Jeans Are Getting Boring, Try These Instead

Denim has always been that reliable, easy, and largely predictable piece that occupies everyone's wardrobe, a fashion staple, if you will. When in doubt, reach for a pair of blue jeans and build your outfit around it. But somewhere along the way, the basic denim can sometimes feel uninspired and not a true expression of our culture. Personal style is becoming more experimental and ardent, and designers are pushing further into different shapes and textures with trousers.

Your pants can do a lot more that support your outfit, they can also be the main event. Play around with different fabrics, patterns, colors, or exaggerated designs like the Irawo Pants from Knafe.
