The Perfect Pair of Jeans

Every time I'm in Paris, I can't help but notice that Parisian women manage to look effortlessly pulled-together. It's not that they mirror the runways, strutting the streets in haute couture. In fact, many are wearing jeans. So how do they always look so utterly chic? When I asked my Parisian friend, she laughed, obviously in on the secret. She explained that it's the quality of their clothing. They invest in a garment and wear it more than once a week (gasp!). I called to mind crisp white button-downs, expertly tailored suits, perfectly cut jeans. So now, I prefer to flex my monthly fashion budget on one key, classic piece. In light of my new approach, the new Greencaste by Earnest Sewn jeans were an obvious choice. The company hand makes each pair of beautifully cut, organic denim jeans in a one-of-a-kind wash with hand-sewn details. Whether I top them with a cotton tee or cashmere cardigan, I feel sharp and polished. Now if I could only figure out how Parisian women pull off the baguette-brie-chocolate diet.—Regan Fletcher
