OCTOBER 2023: THE BEST (CURATED BY US)
THE BEST OF DENIM SEASON
If you can’t tell by our styling notes and campaign imagery–we love denim. And while we’re denim women all year round, fall goes hand in hand with our obsession with this essential. From our favorite silhouettes to the substack dedicated to the closet staple, here is our curated list of the best denim of the season.
THE BEST SHOPPING
Menswear, oversized Americana styles and plant-dyed feels are on our denim shopping list this month.
FOREVER US
We'd be the top members if there was a fan club for Citizens of Humanity’s horseshoe jeans. Nearly every person in our office owns a pair after our co-founder Megan first started wearing them. We love how they make even a white tee look cooler.
BORROWED FROM THE BOYS
We first discovered the Imperfects at a boutique in our hometown in Sausalito. They’re a surf and skate brand based in San Diego and make the shirket of our dreams. Their OG style, it is a kimono-style work shirt with unconventional pockets and signature stitching.
FUNCTION MEETS FASHION
Founded by designer and Maine native Julie O’Rourke, Rudy Jude makes collections inspired by nature. Sourcing from the US and Japan, their styles are plant-dyed and made to live in. While we’ve been eyeing their colored options for a while, we currently have the indigo utility jeans in our carts.
THE BEST READS
From everyday denim inspiration to the Japanese craft, here are the go-to reads on our closet favorite.
JAPANESE CRAFT
Denim enthusiasts know the Japanese know good denim–if not the greatest. From their construction to the production, Highsnobeity writer Brock Cardiner takes you through the history of the best denim in the world.
IN THE NEWS(LETTER)

DENIM FOR DAYS
Street style is a part of our everyday life and where we get constant inspiration to evolve our personal style. Amy Leverton has been working in the denim industry since 2003 and takes you through the sexiness and undeniably cool factor of jeans. The ultimate ode to this essential.
THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT
Parisian-inspired playlists, your next Insta follow and a documentary dedicated to America’s denim history is how we’re keeping entertained this October.
YESTERDAY’S FAVORITE
It’s an American classic and we celebrate it everyday. Riveted: The History of Jeans by PBS is the incredible story of this iconic style. It’s not all pretty, but important to remember how we got to where we are today.
TODAY’S INSPIRATION
This is our latest follow and we think it should be yours too! The Denimist has the most beautiful website (magazine-like) and their feed is a feast for the eyes when it comes to style. The simplicity and sensibility are something to be coveted.
TUNE INTO STYLE
