Not Sold On Horseshoe Jeans? Celebs Are Suddenly All Wearing This Flattering Designer Straight-Leg


2024 has been a particularly good year for killer shopping finds. The Row’s Margaux tote! Celine sunnies! The Alaïa ballet flats! The Adidas SL72! (Still all Who What Wear favourites I might add). And while all of these bestsellers have different price points and styles, the one thing they do have in common is their versatility. The only other pieces in our wardrobes that get as much air play are white tees, blazers, and of course, denim, so when I discovered that celebs had done the leg work and found the perfect pair of jeans, I immediately stopped in my tracks. Could these be the pair we’ve been waiting for? A flattering, leg-lengthening pair of everyday jeans that suit every body?

Take a scroll through Instagram and it’s highly likely you will have spotted Khaite’s Danielle jeans on social medias best dressed, even if you didn’t know it. These unassuming straight-legged, high-waisted, classically cut jeans are the antidote to the runway’s controversial horseshoe, and if you hadn’t figured out how barrel leg jeans could possibly flatter a curvier frame, this slimmer silhouette is far easier. Did I also mention they come in several shades of blue, black and white so they’ve got every base covered? And, after scouring through street style pics, I spotted Kendall wearing them in at least four different washes—so they get the off-duty model stamp off approval.
