Dark wash denim
Still Here dropped their fall collection featuring my favorites — the Everyday and Cool jean — in a rich dark indigo wash. This deep hue is everywhere this season, and for good reason. It’s versatile, elongating, and gives off a polished vibe without trying too hard. While not specifically designed for short gals, I make them work. I style the Everyday with a big cuff, and pair the Cool with a small heel.
I hit the jackpot last week when I tried on these Agolde jeans. I instantly fell in love with both the fit and the perfect deep indigo wash. The Ren style has been buzzing among petite fashion girlies for a while now, and after trying them on, I can confirm they’re worth the hype — the 27 and a half inch inseam means you can skip a trip to the tailor if you’re 5’3” and under.
I spotted someone wearing the OZMA Marcie shirt last week and was instantly obsessed. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect denim shirt forever, and this one ticks all the boxes — slightly oversized in a deep indigo wash with a nice weight and hand feel. I’ll just be over here refreshing their website, waiting for that restock notification.
It’s always shirting season
I recently stumbled upon The Anteros, a small label offering classic shirting with an elevated twist. Their stunning pieces are crafted from Italian organic cotton and handmade in Portugal. Thoughtful tailoring and unique details like their signature asymmetrical sleeves truly set them apart. Case in point: the Lief shirt, featuring butterfly cuffs on one sleeve and straight splits on the other.
Another shirting label on my radar is E.M Reitz, a Charleston-based designer whose pieces are produced in New York’s Garment District. They recently had a trunk show at Hero Shop (my fave boutique in the Bay Area), and I got to peruse their pieces IRL. If you find cuffing your sleeves annoying (or if you have shorter arms), their classic shirt with elbow-length sleeves is wearable as is and makes the perfect short sleeve when rolled twice.
