This is the denim shape I keep coming back to right now. The Lexi has that relaxed, slightly bowed leg that feels current without going so exaggerated that you’ll wonder what you were thinking next year.
I especially love the Moonwave wash for fall. It has that lived-in blue that works with everything and gives you an easy alternative when you're ready for something different from a traditional straight-leg jean.
WHY I LOVE THEM
Relaxed bowed-straight silhouette
Mid rise feels easy + modern
Just enough shape to make them interesting
Classic blue wash works year-round
Great with loafers, clogs, ballet flats + sneakers
Gives you the slouchier denim look without going too oversized
DEAR LUCY EDIT
THE NOT-QUITE-STRAIGHT JEAN. 👖
If you're looking at all the barrel and bowed-leg denim right now and thinking, I don't know if I can do that—this is where I'd start.
The shape is there, but it doesn't overwhelm you.
For September, I'd wear them with a striped lightweight sweater + brown loafers or clogs, then add a suede jacket when it finally gets cool enough.
This is exactly the kind of denim that makes The September Floor. 🍂
