Some people are on a ceaseless hunt for the greatest pair of jeans, like, ever. Accomplishing this feat is nearly impossible for several reasons: styles and tastes change; bodies have issues (flat bums will never be transformed into Beyonce bums no matter how perfectly positioned the pockets are); occasions differ - work jeans are different from concert jeans are different from bar jeans. Besides, the thrill is in the chase!
However, Gap has made the hunted slightly less elusive recently. The global retailer has gone back to its roots to focus on denim created for comfort, style, and affordability. I've found two great pairs over the past couple months, and I've spent under $90 for the bod'uv'ums, thanks to great sales and promo deals. I also have sources who claim that a design head for the premium denim company Joe's has defected to Gap, breathing new designer life into the fit and cut of what has maybe made Gap denim passe in recent years.
I'm a particularly big fan of the "Legging Jean." They're full of stretch, and come in a variety of colors; the blues are good for everyday, the black is work-appropriate, and, my fave, the light gray gives off a great punk rock vibe...I wouldn't be surprised if Iggy himself has a pair.
