How to
Look Good
in this
Season’s
Denim*

*we show you how

By Sarah O’Hegarty

26 IRISH TATLER JULY 2017

The Straight Leg

The darling of the denim set, the @LEANDRAMCOHEN
straight leg has seen a renaissance
thanks to the popularity of Levi’s and high
other retro brands making a
resurgence. If you’re on the fence, street
it’s time to reconsider: this can oft
be the most flexible kind of style and
– hallelujah – it’s far more flattering
than the skinny. Plus, it makes a
perfect bedfellow for the layering
obsession that’s surrounding us as we
shop. Pile a dress or tunic on top; add
edge with an oversized blazer and
tee; or rock it with a robe coat.
