The mission for the perfect jeans

The last time I wore a pair of jeans must have been around two years ago. I have been in a constant failure of finding a pair of the correct cut, fit, colour and denim. My search was always narrowed down to the skinny jean, wanting the elegant french cigarette style. When trying on this style, the leg was always so ill fitting, bagging around my knees and lower leg.
I gave up, and ventured away from the thought of jeans. There were plenty of other styles out there, the wide leg especially which I always enjoyed the thought of, however did not have the confidence to even try a pair on.

This Autumn however, my confidence has grown and I am taking steps into introducing trousers into my wardrobe. I have ventured into purchasing a pair of velvet, wide legged trousers from Cos which, I must admit are amazing! They are so comfortable, flattering (hurrah!), and can be dressed up or down. I can feel a new addiction coming on, and I am already on the hunt for more, including these jeans from Apiece Apart.
The Japanese raw denim, ticks the box of required fabric I have been wanting my pair of jeans to be composed of.  The high waist highlights the feminine form, and the wide-flare adds a relaxed shape. They are also cropped, which it the most prominent feature I have been desiring in the search for my perfect pair of jeans.
