MOTHER!
When my best friend handed me a pair of her old Mother jeans, I had no idea I was about to experience deep feelings for an innatimate object. I thought, 'cute', but I was wrong AGAIN. Turns out, slipping into these was like leveling up in life—and now I can’t remember being happy prior.
"WE STAND FOR HAVING FUN, AND NOT TAKING YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY."
With a home base in LA, Mother Denim makes the softest jeans in the land while still providing fits and washes that appeal to a broad range of styles. The cuts are Mother. Mother is Mother.
Members of my wardrobe are The Double Dazzler, The Insider Ankle, The Roller Fray, The Piece Of Cake Short, & The Skipper Short.
If dreams do come true, The Bailey High Rise Pintuck Flare in Bordeaux will join her friends in my closet one day.
Citizens
of Humanity
Citizens of Humanity jeans have been a staple in my closet since high school—because apparently, their denim built to survive my personality. This brand manages to check all the boxes: the look, the fit, the feel... it’s all top-notch. I still have pairs from years ago that refuse to go anywhere. They’re not just jeans; they’re a long-term commitment. The Lyra Wide Leg Crop (in Medallion) is like if you slathered butter all over your legs & then went out in public. So many capsule wardrobe options. 10/10.
AGOLDE
AGOLDE defines themselves as a “fashion forward denim label, experimental in both approach and design,” and I wouldn’t change a beat. Their quality denim and commitment to sustainability was an instant V.V.I.P pass, earning them a prime spot in my wardrobe right from the start.
My FAVORITE pair of straight jeans in my closet is the Riley High Rise Straight (in Compilation) - I have the long version to go past my ankles or cuff them to come off more POISED. And ofc, I recite my daily affirmations in hopes that I will add the Balloon High-Rise Rigid Barrel Jeans will one day be added to my collection.
