Everything but the Girl

The Boy Jean by Les Halles

Remember The Baggie jean trend of ’79?

(That’s okay, neither do we.)

Well, the Manhattan denim company responsible for that hit — Les Halles — has staged a comeback, and it’s calling it the Boy Jean.

On the slouchy scale (one being latex leggings, ten being Hammer pants), the low-riding Boy Jean clocks in at a five: plenty of give but still defines your figure. The pants have short inseams, come in four washes (medium, dark, vintage bleach, dirty), and run big, so you can go down a size or two (doesn’t that feel nice?).

Poppy already sold out of its first shipment, and the next stack is sure to move just as quickly. So act fast.

And try to be as relaxed as the jeans.

Available at Poppy, 281 Mott Street, between Houston and Prince Streets (212-219-8934); online at ravinstyle.com.
