Saint Laurent jeans are long, high-waisted and cut in serious denim, and they are the easiest way to wear the house every day. Shop Saint Laurent denim and the wider trouser edit at Luxury Shoes .
The fits
Saint Laurent cuts straight, baggy and flared jeans, mostly high at the waist and long in the leg. The baggy fits are wide from the hip and the straight fits fall cleanly to the ankle.
The denim
The house uses rigid cotton denim, some of it selvedge, in washes from deep rinse to faded vintage blue. Rigid denim softens with wear, so the first fit is the firmest.
Sizing
Saint Laurent jeans are sized by waist in inches. Waist 26 is the equivalent of FR 36, a UK 8. See the Saint Laurent size guide.
How to wear them
With a silk blouse and a stiletto, with a tuxedo jacket and loafers, and with a fitted T-shirt and a leather jacket. Read Saint Laurent leather jackets.
Saint Laurent denim washes
The washes run from a deep rinse blue, the smartest choice, to mid blue and faded vintage blue with whiskering at the hip. Rinse denim works with tailoring; faded denim is better with leather and a T-shirt.
Care
Wash rarely, inside out, in cold water, and dry flat. Rigid denim holds its colour longer the less it is washed.
The Saint Laurent jeans look
The house wears jeans long, with a heel underneath so the hem nearly touches the floor, a silk blouse above and a sharp jacket over the shoulders. It is the everyday version of the tailoring line.
