So, I recently decided to restart mydenim collectionfrom scratch.

The color is actually darker in person, but that didn’t bother me.

This fit also felt super stretchy and fit me comfortably all over.

This design also included an elastic waistband, preventing any bunching up and an unsightly gap.

NYDJ Billie Mini Bootcut Jeans

NYDJ has the most interesting sizing.

In fact, this is the only bootcut style I’ve enjoyed in years.

I paired them with a few of my ankle boots and nailed a sleek outfit every time.

I paired this with a couple of flouncy peasant tops and Chelsea boots and earned a couple of compliments.

They skimmed a bit above the tops of my shoes.

They didn’t look as snug on my rear as other similar fits.

However, I found if I pair them with a small heel, they look better in the back.

I love the high-rise waist and the cool boyfriend cut that gives them a slouchy appearance without looking sloppy.

They give such a surfer-chill yet super-chic vibe when paired with a more feminine top.

They’re also slightly distressed and feature raw hems, adding to their cool air.

I got the petite inseam in a size 27, and it fit wonderfully around my waist and hips.

Plus, I liked the deep pockets that were just the right size for my phone.
