I definitely have some sort of thing with denim shirts.

And this shirt is, I think, the perfect denim shirt,

because it has a nice wash.

It s not too distressed.

When was interviewing at Vogue,

I woke up that morning

and everything I had planned to wear

that I had meticulously put together just wasn t right.

So, I ended up trying on a denim shirt that I had

and I immediately felt like myself.

So, I guess ever since then,

I ve sort of worn the denim shirt

as a default comfort zone type thing.

Head-to-toe denim can get a little costumey.

I think it s best to have the shirt be a little bit lighter.

And the jeans a little bit cleaner and darker.

Just to add some tonality to the look

and not make it so denim, like scream denim.

Like any of us, I love to look

extra long, extra lean.

So, these jeans allow me to do that.

They re called the forever jeans

because they literally go on forever.

It s a 40 inch inseam.

The inseam is the length of the

inside of the jean from the top to the floor.

In men s jeans, actually,

they give the size with the length as well,

which I think is so nice.

For some reason, with women s jeans, they don t.

I do need to get them hemmed, I think.

Even if you re not 6 1 like Karlie Kloss

or 5 12 like myself, you can still buy these

and hem them to your liking.

I think they re still a great jean

regardless of them being endlessly long.
