Pick of the Week: Found Denim’s Symone jeans

I just came back from Buenos Aires, where I stayed in a hip neighborhood called Palermo Soho. The name is apropos since it has a nice mix of grittiness and sophistication, just like the Soho in lower Manhattan.

Several murals and random jots of graffiti were eye-popping fun and totally inspiring.

This week it’s all about ‘80s, neon and graffiti-inspired pieces.

Everyone might be wearing baggy and destroyed denim, but I still love the Symone skinny jeans from Found Denim. Unlike most skinnies, they don’t constrict the thigh like a sausage casing, but are actually flattering-elongating the leg. Their sunstone wash for fall has that tough, but beachy-bleached vibe, tinged with the ‘80s acid wash look. Perfect for this fall’s ‘80s craze.
