Now onto these amazing jeans that make your legs look crazy long! They’re by Hudson, one of my favorite denim designers, they’re made of that rigid denim so it’s a bit stiffer than the stretch denim which I like because they hold their shape very well! They’re high-waisted with a subtle flare at the bottom which is why they make your legs look so long! They run tts, I’m wearing a size 25. These jeans will be on major repeat for me this season and I’m sure if you get them they will be for you too!
Shopbop carries a ton of Hudson jeans too and a great selection of bomber jackets!
My green cropped bomber jacket is also by Hudson and I’m obsessed with it! I love that it’s a bit over-sized yet it’s cropped so it’s very flattering. It looks amazing paired with high-waisted denim, but I’ve also worn it over my work out clothes. It also runs tts, I’m wearing a size XS. This versatile bomber jacket would be a great addition to any woman’s wardrobe!
