If I’m wearing pants, you can pretty much bet that I’m wearing vintage mom jeans. They’re a classic staple in my closet, and I was convinced there was no alternative as versatile and practical. As NYC continues to heat up, however, I have had to consider the possibility that perhaps my thick, rigid jeans aren’t the most ideal choice for my environment. When Kate Middleton stepped out in a pair of wide-legged khakis and paired them with white Superga sneakers (my shoe of choice in the summer), I knew I had found a new-and-improved replacement.
