Not Quite Skinny, Not Quite Straight

"For 2018, we're seeing skinny jeans evolve into a shape that's not quite a skinny and not quite a straight leg—the silhouette is very flattering and also very wearable, since it's not skintight yet it's still fitted. Our W4 High-Rise Shelter Slim just hit and illustrates this progression, and in a few weeks, one of our favorite new styles, the Higher Ground Crop, will drop, marrying this new silhouette with extreme distressing."
