Everlane Mid Way Jean - Pure Blue
Everlane undoubtedly makes the best jeans. I have a couple of shades from the Way High wide leg jeans. The Mid Way Jean is meant for ladies who do not like to wear jeans that sit almost at ribcage.
The shade pure blue gives a polished look that will make your casual work outfits professional and sophisticated. These jeans also have a bit of stretch which is always welcome for mature women like myself. You can breathe in them.
I love the contrast stitching that looks laidback and also adds a fun touch to the denim.
With 31 inch inseam you can pair them with boots or block heels to dress up your denim outfit for work.
And the best part, its not that expensive. I feel like essentials should not cost you an arm and a leg.
