I Tried On All the Trendiest Pieces from Grlfrnd—Here Are the Items That Are Worth Purchasing.

      I must confess—I’ve developed a bit of a taste for high-quality denim after years of enthusiastic collecting. Having tried on what seems like every brand available, I have a solid sense of which ones are truly worth the investment. So, when I got the opportunity to try a full line from Grlfrnd, a popular label recognized for its stylish fits and vintage-inspired washes, I knew I’d be particularly discerning. My denim collection is already quite extensive, leaving little space for new additions. However, Grlfrnd has been impressing me recently—both with its successful blend of vintage and modern aesthetics and with its focus on the subtle details that make a pair of jeans feel unique. The brand's philosophy feels like a bold statement in the denim world: no logos, no flashy designs, just excellent fabric, a sleek fit, and an overall vibe that communicates confidence. I was surprised to find more standout pieces than I anticipated, and I’m even thinking about substituting some of my beloved styles to make room for these. Whether you're looking for classic straight-leg jeans, a new jacket style, or a non-denim piece that still has edge, Grlfrnd has you covered. Continue reading for the pieces that truly impressed me.

      My review: I’ve been searching for the ideal black jeans, and the Sara style from Grlfrnd immediately caught my attention. Among all the jeans I tried, this pair felt the most refined due to its super-high rise and clean, structured silhouette. Although it was a bit tighter compared to the others (even though I chose the same size, 27), once I zipped them up, it became clear why: They are designed to sculpt the figure.

      What distinguishes the Sara from its other straight-leg counterparts like the Danie or Walker is the rise. These jeans sit significantly higher—above the natural waist—creating a cinched effect that was especially flattering when paired with a tucked-in top. The fit is straight leg, but it offers less stretch through the hips and waistband than the mid-rise styles. If you prefer a looser or more broken-in feel, this pair might feel a bit more structured—but it instantly elevates your outfit.

      I first tried them in a true black with no fading, making them versatile enough for both daytime and evening wear. The fabric is the midweight rigid cotton denim the brand is renowned for, and while there’s no stretch, the cut fits perfectly in all the right places. At 5'7", I feel I’m on the taller side, yet the straight leg still provided a clean, elongating effect—though there was a bit of puddling, which means a trip to the tailor may be necessary, but that’s preferable to an awkward crop (my denim nightmare).

      If you seek that sharp, high-waisted black jean that makes your outfit feel effortlessly polished, this is the pair to get.

      Sara Super High Rise Straight

      Size range: 23–32

      Washes: Currently available in black and several shades of blue

      Fabric: 100% cotton

      Sizing tip: Runs snug—consider sizing up if you’re between sizes or prefer a less structured waistband.

      My review: Next, I again tried the Sara style, this time in a medium wash called Lenox Hill, and I’m officially marking it as my solution to the “Will I ever wear skinny jeans again?” discussion. The short answer: no, not really. But this pair is the closest I’ll get—and I’m surprisingly fond of them.

      These jeans are super high-waisted and cut to hug your hips and thighs perfectly while still appearing modern, not outdated. They’re tighter than the wide-leg or bootcut styles I usually prefer, but the flattering fit made me comfortable with it. I maintained my usual size, and even though they were snug, I appreciated the support and structure they provided.

      The wash truly won me over. It’s a clean, classic blue that works well with black, which is essential for how I wear denim throughout the year. And while I typically shy away from slim fits, the slight vintage-inspired straight leg and the gentle puddling at the ankle added just enough edge to keep things interesting.

      These are excellent for days when you want a sleek look without committing to full skinny jeans. It’s the perfect in-between style for the current moment.

      My review: Bootcut denim is secretly making a comeback in 2025, and this pair is an exceptional entry point. It gives a nod to the '70s just enough to evoke nostalgia without making you feel like you're in costume. I could
