Sophie Koella on the Classic Cool of Men’s Jeans

See the video.

“Don’t you ever just wear your jeans open?” Sophie Koella ponders aloud in her Soho apartment. “You have to unzip them in the middle of dinner because they get too tight after you eat.” For the model, who was last seen opening Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s debut Chloé show, comfort is paramount. That means a marked preference for worn-in boyfriend jeans, or, even better, men’s Levi’s, paired with a basic hoodie or white tee.

“I wear jeans, like, every day—it’s, like, my only pants,” she says. “I’m just all about comfort, and they’re easy—you can dress them up if you want to.” Take the distressed boyfriend jean Koella models here. Worn with a romantic ruched Altuzarra blouse, the classic cool-girl effect is complete.
