It seems that every day Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner are setting off some new It bag craze or micro-trend. But, more quietly, these two fashion plates have also been making the case for a tried-and-true pair of black jeans all year long. Yet their shared enthusiasm does not mean they have exactly the same taste in dark denim.
For Bella, it’s all about straight-leg fits in vintage black washes. Think stone-colored hues, the kind that your favorite pair of black skinnies take on after way too many washes. The color and fit give her a cool-girl edge and a dressed-down look, perfect for traveling or a weekend off with friends in New York. A high-waisted, hip-hugging pair with distressed slashes across the thighs are part of Hadid’s signature look, while an ankle-grazing cropped version made the cut earlier this season.
As for Kendall, she prefers her jeans jet black, a color she has worn in a variety of silhouettes from boot cuts to carpenters. With just an inky straight-leg pair of skinny jeans and ankle booties, she manages to make even a collegiate hooded sweatshirt feel chic.
But you don’t have to be a supermodel to add this style staple to your wardrobe. There’s a pair of black jeans at every price point, whether you prefer your pants edgy and distressed like Bella or pitch-black and polished like Kendall.
