Great Adventure

Anlo Jeans

Denim used to be simple.

Nowadays, facing the mountain of vastly different cuts (cigarette or trouser?), washes (cowgirl blue or punk-rock gray?), and fits (high-waisted or hip-hugger?) is like climbing Everest. (Minus the props from National Geographic.)

Make things easier on yourself with Anlo Jeans, a new label offering a manageable and well-chosen selection — so you can have the best of all worlds.

Each style is uncomplicated and classic and comes with straightforward options. Slip on the Mika (full-length skinnies), the Shon (high-waisted with four pockets), the Bond (trousers with braid detailing), or the Melrose (boot-cut with piping). For days when you want to kick it up a notch, the Pascale, with gold buttons, makes you look like a high roller.

All have a double-pleated back pocket, fit well, and flatter. So, heck. Get one of each.

And make the mountain come to you.

Available at Urban Chic, 1626 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Q Street and Reservoir Road (202-338-5398). To see styles go to anlo-nyc.com.
