The Anti-Skinny Pants Trend: Stylish New Yorkers Quickly Abandon Their Blue Jeans

      Zoë Kravitz embodies the essence of a stylish New Yorker, and whenever she's seen around the city, she’s typically wearing a lesser-known trend that is bound to catch on soon. Recently, she has been seen in brown jeans, which are quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional blue, black, or ecru denim. This color stands out (a refreshing change in a fashion landscape where much appears similar) while still being neutral and versatile. Brown jeans pair well with all the usual items that classic denim colors do, yet they lend an outfit a distinct and unique vibe instead of appearing basic or predictable. The director of Blink Twice showcased how simple it is to pull off this denim trend by pairing her brown jeans casually with black boots, a chunky sweater, and an oversized black leather bomber jacket. The effort involved is minimal, yet her style is definitely going on my inspiration board. (Image credit: The Image Direct)

      WHO: Zoë Kravitz
