THIS WAY

The Essentials: The White Button-down

The White Button-down: Crisp, Clean and Charming AF. Do you have this already hanging in your closet? You probably do. Pair with your chinos + brown oxfords for work and your denim + casual sneakers for the weekend. Optional Add-on: Ray-bans that bring out your inner Kennedy.

The Essentials: Slim Dark Denim

Denim is something you (unfortunately) need to head to a store for. You have to try them on...and then take them off and then ask if they do in-store hemming...I know, it sounds like a real drag. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your closet, your butt and your boo will thank you.

The Details:

Look for a solid, dark denim wash. This means little to no whiskering. (FYI--Whiskering is the tinted brush-like design painted on denim to look extra worn). Flat, dark jeans keep your legs looking long and transition from work to a night out seamlessly.

Denim with a bit of stretch to them will feel as awesome as sweats and look like the exact opposite.

Get the hem tailored. A build up of extra fabric around your ankles does nothing to improve your look.

Keep the fit modern-slim. A simple balance between not being skin-tight and not looking like you are carrying camping supplies in your pants.

Spend money on jeans. Think quality over quantity. Well-made jeans will last you forever and look like a million bucks.
