Thanks to a fashion insider friend, I just discovered the latest and greatest pair of jeans. Cut straight through the hips and thighs like vintage 501's, with frayed asymmetrical-cut ankles (a la Vetements) in a non-stretch, heavy-weight denim, these jeans are super flattering, comfortable and day to night wearable. Mine are en route!

Red buttons and bell cuffs make this striped sweater a standout--and winter must-have.
