Since I often resort to wearing black jeans, I like to have a variety. My go-to silhouettes are (1) a slim, above-the-ankle cut, (2) a cropped wide leg, and (3) a straight stovepipe leg.
I recently overhauled all of the jeans in my closet and filled the void predominantly with these three styles. Aside from the stovepipe (which I prefer long, almost to the ground), they go from sneaker to heel without missing a beat. I wear the straight stovepipe leg when I’m willing to sport a shoe with a little lift – boot, loafer, pump or sandal all do the trick.

They’re all great, and I too, often wear black jeans. Hoping I need an overhaul when I’m done with my 3 rounds of Prolon :)

You will!

Hello, do the Karate fit true to size?
Karima
Yes…they’re TTS.

Hi Karima – what other shoes do you wear with the cropped wide leg? I struggle with what to wear with mine! Would love a post where you showed shoes + these shapes.

I’ve worn everything from a flat sandal to a heeled boot. I wore this style with a lug sole Chelsea boot on my last trip. As long as the boot hits high enough on the calf, it’s a good pairing. TBC…

Thank you for the inspiration!

I get a lift when you post. Always something I would wear – though
in some cases a bit out of my price range. You bring me back to the reality of dressing with good taste – like a lady. I have purchased several items in your postings. Keep it up.

Thank you for the kind comment. :)

I just bought the Khaite jeans too (but in a light blue). Wish they came in grey! Trying to find good grey options!
Love your posts. Xo

Love Khaite jeans! I have some good grey jeans I’ll post next week. :)
