What I'm scoping: The ill-fit jean

I've been spying with my little eye a bit of a lean to thicker denim, wider ankles and looser fits. It's a total nod to the 90's which is in full force right now as the children of that decade come into their own. Not to stray from the appeal of a perfect second skin, stretch-blend denim but I'm starting to think that there's nothing sexier than a girl that can pull of something not so obvious and try a little looser of a fit. In the industry right now I'd say these are getting classified as the "Mom jean" which is where I've scored my pair from at the moment. As opposed to I think the more accepted "Boyfriend jean", I prefer the higher rise that these have. I think slowly this trend will be becoming more widespread through looser fits through the bottom which is in part due to the thickness of the denim. I'm always going to be a fan of the less obvious choices in fashion, the things that make you go "Huh?" and I think these are a perfect way to get that into ones wardrobe. I'd pair them with any sort of cropped top, casual or not, or go the opposite way and play off the ill-fit with something big and loose with an awesome pair of shoes into the mix to bring in the "fashion" aspect.

Some people that I think are doing this right:
Danielle Bernstein, blogger from WeWoreWhat shows them with slides and a sheer top. Ali Michael, model, who I for one thinks has a perfect effortlessly cool style wears them frequently. And of course, the perfect Candice Swanepoel pairs an American Apparel crop and sandals for a sexy and sweet ensemble.
