An essential isn’t essential unless it’s versatile. It should pull its weight, appeal to any personality, and fit in seamlessly with various aesthetics. To put this theory to the test, we’ve asked three Vogue editors to style the same piece, each in their own way.
This spring, classic denim has gotten a considered upgrade. Imagined in earthy tones—beige, brown, and everything in-between—the new hue feels like a quiet reset. Already adopted by celebrities and editors alike (Zoë Kravitz was recently spotted wearing a pair strolling through New York City), the neutral tone slips seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. Editors are turning to Mother, Citizens of Humanity, and Ossou to anchor their looks against an otherwise airy spring palette. The tone proves its versatility, effortlessly paired with tonal browns, playful pops of color, or a classic white tee. Could this be your new go-to denim style?

“I could easily run through all the tiny details that make Ossou’s jeans special, but what keeps me coming back for more is what drew me in in the first place—the wash. The earthy brown shade is as versatile as any blue jean, pairing well with both neutrals and brights, but feels more considered on. You can tell a lot of care and thought have put into the construction, too—from the sharp front creases to the jewel-like button and zip closures.”
