Are You Ready to Peg and Roll?
L.A. Times reports the return of loose fitting rolled up jeans. L.A. based denim label Current/Elliott, a brand that just launched a little over a month ago, leads the pack among hundreds of premium denim labels in an oversaturated market in creating what is predicted to be the next big thing in the denim scene. The fit is slouchy and baggy, the cut is a cropped length with a tapered leg, the wash is a faded medium blue with optional whiskering, holes and distressed accents throughout and most importantly, the hems are casually rolled up. Hollywood is already embracing the trend with Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes and Amanda Peet recently spotted in loose fitting rolled up jeans.
I say “Never say never” with a jeans trend. I was scared of wearing skinny jeans two years ago, but it’s what I’ve been wearing ever since. So come fall, I should have already perfected the art of rolling my jeans, minus the holes if I can help it.
What do you think of this trend? Yay or Nay?
Current/Elliott is available for pre-order at Singer22.

I read that article in Sunday’s paper and yes, I’ll be trying it out! I think I’ll opt for a cheaper version from the men’s or boy’s department. Then I’ll have a DIY “boyfriend” fit without spending over $100 or even $200.
