David Kahn bridges the denim divide

"I want jeans that are cute and stylish, but don't make me look like I'm trying to be sixteen years old."

"I don't want 'Mom Jeans', you know? But I don't want them super low-rise, either."

"It's impossible for me to find jeans. They're either really tight and low or they look like something I wore in the 80's. I give up."

Women come into my store nearly every day voicing some variation of these three phrases. The common theme, I believe, is that there aren't nearly enough brands of jeans out there that are good for real-life gals (read: women with actual womanly curves). Nothing pains me more, though, than hearing that women are giving up on their search for stylish yet wearable denim, because ladies, I promise, there is a brand out there for you!

One such brand is David Kahn Jeanswear. Unlike most of the premium denim available right now, David Kahn's Lauren jean uses a trouser silhouette. This body style allows for more room in the thighs, tapers slightly at the knees, and falls to the floor in a very slight boot-cut flare. The overall result is slimming, stylish, and very, very wearable.

David Kahn's full line can be found at Nordstrom, and at a ever-growing handful of ladies' boutiques around the country. The Lauren jean starts at $158.
