Who says wardrobe basics have to be boring? Especially within the category of denim when there are so many pairs of unique jeans to be had? Rihanna recently showed us exactly how it’s done when she stepped out in a coveted pair of feather-hemmed jeans from Gucci’s spring 1999 collection—Tom Ford-era Gucci, that is. Of course, that exact pair is a rare find, but there are several other designers giving us novel and inventive takes on the Americana blue jean.
Take, for example, Loewe’s quirky sunflower and boot-covered printed pants, which were showcased for spring 2021. The label stamped the playful pattern onto a pair of jeans, and—voilà—the results were anything but ordinary. Similarly, Maisie Wilen put a hypnotizing swirl-motif on a pair of denim straight-leg trousers, which were a minimalist’s dream come true. And that’s just the tip of the embellished-denim iceberg. There are so many fascinating designs to shop, from embroidered jeans to seasonally appropriate pastels, and we’ve gathered the best into one place, just ahead.
