I Hate Blue Jeans—Don't Come for Me, Enjoy My Chic Alternatives Instead
It’s probably been 12 years since a pair of blue jeans entered my wardrobe. If memory serves me right, it was a pair of skinny-straight Topshop blues that last circled through my rotation during college. I’ve since ditched them for good. But before you come for me, just know that I don’t have major beef with blue jeans. In fact, I’m very much a champion of them for others—just not for me. Why? Well, the blues just sort of filtered out of my closet as I started creating my signature uniform of all-black staples back in my early 20s.
So what are the alternatives, you may ask? While I’ve already covered my adoration for black skinny jeans, there are a few other alts I wear on the regular as well that are cool and casual (like blues), but are more aligned with my signature silhouette. To show you what I mean, I’m showcasing an edit of my casual pants wardrobe below, as showcased on myself and some of the coolest fashion girls out there that I also draw inspiration from. Whether you love or loathe blue jeans, keep scrolling to shop for something new to build out the pants section of your wardrobe this season.
As I told you a few months ago, black skinnies are the true heroes in my closet. I wear my go-to pairs (usually from Paige, 7 for All Mankind, or Madewell) more than anything else. To me, black skinny jeans just always feel chic and sleek compared to other blue-jean alternatives. My go-to look is usually a pair of black skinny jeans, a coordinating pullover, basic ankle boots, and a black leather jacket.Here I am. As an alternative to denim of any kind, I’ve been leaning into fancy sweat and jogger-like trousers these days. This pair from Club Monaco are in my weekly rotation because they’re just as easy and comfortable (if not more so) as jeans but bring that low-key yet elevated twist to any outfit.Yes, a pair of trousers is seemingly on the other end of the spectrum as jeans because they’re more formal, but I tend to opt for comfortable (somewhat stretchy styles) in a cropped silhouette like this pair here for my more polished casual looks. Sure, regular blue jeans would work in an outfit like this, but black trousers are just as strong.I have one pair of leather pants in my arsenal that I break out from time to time when I want to complete my forward casual ’fits. Given their on-trend nature, I actually want to bust them out even more because they’re a cool substitute to denim.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
