You know that one pair of jeans that you always end up waiting by the washer and dryer for because no other pair can compare? Meet your new “worth waiting in the laundry room” pair. Yes, Genetic Denim has constructed the world’s most perfect jeans.
I’ve always loved their fit: the waist is cut a little higher than most, so it keeps the tummy under wraps but sits low enough to make your hips kick. Somehow this style is so ridiculously comfortable – you can sleep in them and even indulge in a big Thanksgiving dinner without feeling a pinch – yet supportive and incredibly flattering. This is one pair called “slim” that isn’t lying: instant long, lean legs as if you’ve been doing squats like mad, and a perky butt that looks like your own, not like it’s been squeezed into a nice shape.
Look around: the flare is the only jean style that matters right now, and these are slim through the legs, widening out gracefully just below the knees to a substantial bell at the hem. No trip to the tailor necessary. Keep it long and wear these with the biggest platform you can tackle for an ultimate lengthening effect – the flare will hide most of the shoe, so you can flaunt the illusion that your legs go on forever!

Pair with: It’s a shame to hide anything Alaïa, but at 6.5″ these platforms will put you way up there and you still get to show off the lovely braided raffia trimming the bottom of the wedge. Alaïa Raffia Platform Wedge Sandals, $1,227 (from $2,045).
