Miss Sixty Jeans

In the never-ending quest for the It Jeans, sad things happen.

When you notice as many pairs of Seven Jeans on the sidewalk as there are taxis on the road, it’s time to worry. Nothing beats the perfect pair, but looking like you phone-call coordinated with half the city simply isn’t okay.

So we found a new perfect pair: the Extra Low Tommy, by Miss Sixty. A European denim obsession for decades, they’re still a relative novelty in the States. (But probably not for long.) Cozier than a pair of PJs, the butter-soft jeans have us hooked — nay, addicted. The best part? The supremely flattering fit. The snugness actually holds past ten minutes of wear. (Note to the Barneys salesperson who sold us our last jeans: Suggesting we “just not bend our knees” is not a solution.)

We were sold the minute we saw our rear view. But if you need a little more convincing, the Extra Low Tommy is nearly impossible to find. As in, you’ll be the only one wearing them.

At least for now.

Available at Miss Sixty, 246 Mulberry Street, between Prince and Spring Streets (212-431-6040), or online at shopbop.com.
