Chic People in Their 20s and 50s Are Styling Two-Tone Jeans

Don’t default to basic mid-wash straight-leg jeans. Right now, New York’s most stylish are sidestepping the obvious in favour of the more directional, but no less easy to style, two-tone jeans trend.

This layered look is settling into fashion people’s wardrobes right now. In fact, I spotted it not once, but twice in a single day this week—first on Sarah Pidgeon, who styled a sculptural style with a pair of glossy red pointed-toe heels, a relaxed black blazer and a tie wrapped around the neck in lieu of a scarf.

Not the only one to step into the jeans, I then saw Chloë Sevigny out this week styling the very same trend. Opting for a deeper palette, she chose a grey washed pair punctuated by a clean side stripe that traced the length of her leg. Styled with a rich brown V-neck knit, T-bar shoes and dark sunglasses, her look was elevated by the thoughtful choice of jeans.

From twenty-somethings to seasoned style icons in their fifties, two-tone denim feels like one of the most relevant trends on the market right now.
