'One of the other highly particular specifications I was looking for in a new pair of jeans was that, when worn with ballet flats, they would make me look like the perpetually casual-cool Sofia Coppola traipsing through the West Village'
Photo: Courtesy of the vendor I don’t mean to perpetuate the unreasonable expectation that a person who has recently given birth should be able to quickly “bounce back” to their pre-baby weight, but I couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit bad about myself when, seven months postpartum, I still couldn’t fit into any of my favorite jeans. So I dedicated my first real post-baby shopping foray to the search for a new pair. I fully expected this to be a Sisyphean task.
Fortunately, I had a pretty clear idea of what I was looking for: 100 percent cotton , button-fly, high-waisted, straight-leg jeans with a finished hem in a vintage wash. And I had a couple more highly particular specifications: The rise couldn’t be too high, because my torso is so short that my waist is virtually nonexistent, and the leg had to be cropped, because I’m five-foot-two and regular-length pants go past my shoes .
It was amid a last-ditch scour of Barneys’ “straight leg” jean category that I came across a pair from GRLFRND, a brand I’d never heard of before. They seemed perfect: They had a slimmer, more tapered leg opening than the others, looked slightly cropped on the model, and were clearly made of a stiffer material than the ones I already tried. I had high hopes and practically vibrated with anticipation when I submitted my order.
GRLFRND Karolina Jeans Yes, they’re expensive for jeans, but these are actually cheaper than the Citizens I didn’t like, and worth every penny. One of the other highly particular specifications I was looking for in a new pair of jeans was that, when worn with ballet flats, they would make me look like the perpetually casual-cool Sofia Coppola traipsing through the West Village. A tall order, I know, but these made me feel like just that.
