Acquaverde Tuxedo Stripe Cropped Skinny Jeans, sz 30 NWT





Bought these recently from shopbop.com, and they were a final sale. Sadly, they were not the right size for me. Acquaverde is a French brand, making some solid basics and jeans with a fashiony twist. I would have definitely kept them if they were the right size. Size 30, I would say it fits a bigger 8 or a straight up 10. Amazing fabric, soft & stretchy yet sturdy. Because of the cropped length, these do not interfere with ankle boots. They have a very subtle tuxedo stripe on the outside of both legs; in my opinion not as dark a contrast as I wanted but it's there, and uniquely cool. Rise is high in the back and lower in the front. New with tags, only worn once to try on.
