October 24, 2007 5:42 pm
Having grappled with the skinny vs. wide-leg jeans dilemma for several months now—if Kate Moss can’t decide, who can?—we decided to check in with J Brand, the company beloved by Angelina Jolie and other Hollywood types for its various skinny styles. “You don’t have to give up one for the other,” said Tara Rudes, who heads up the brand’s East Coast sales operations. “At J Brand, we say it’s about your mood.” The company’s sales suggest that J Brand junkies are embracing wide styles with as much passion as they have for skinnies. The Doll, a high-waisted, wide-legged number (above), has been seen on Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson, while Moss has stepped out in Love Story, which is wide at the leg but lower on the waist. But can mere mortals pull off the look? “Anyone can wear them,” said Rudes. “My grandmother came in here and left with a pair of The Doll.”
