Ruby Jeans

You got your recent degree in denimomics from the College of Skinny Jeans. But for your masters? You’re going Ivy League — and that means Wide Leg U.

Use Ruby as your reference. The Brit line’s Boyfriend pant is unthinkably flattering and finally available on our stomping grounds.

Like men’s jeans, they fit loosely around the hips and rear. But they’re femified with a tailored waist and clean drape. And while more fabric often leads to the billowy clown-pants look, these have a shape that elogates the leg and shows off just the right curves.

Made of ultra-light denim, the dark blue, black, and gray washes have no whiskers or distressing, so they look smart during the day and polished at night.

And are definitely worth giving the ol’ college try.

Available at all Madison locations, including 113 South Robertson Boulevard, between Third Street and Alden Drive, West Hollywood (310-275-1930 or madisonlosangeles.com). To see styles, go to rubylondon.com.
