FASHION & STYLE
This spring , when it comes to long bottoms , inseams are about 27 to 29 inches . Consequently , all eyes are on the ankles , giving everyone a chance to show off their shoes too . But it ’ s not just wearing ankle jeans that counts , it ’ s about what brings attention to your ankles - the hem . “ Whether you are showing off your Sam Smith Adidas kicks , your Jeffery Campbell heels or your Dolce Vita booties , it ’ s all about the ankle this spring ,” STS Blue Creative Director Evelyn Ober said . “ So go for a boyfriend-style jean with a step hem , like STS Blue ’ s Taylor Tomboy Boyfriends in Lakeshore vintage wash .”
The basic step hem is the dominate trend , with the back longer than the front , a throwback to the 1990s grunge trend , offering a raw , frayed-out hemline , almost vintage - as if they were purchased from a thrift store . But there are many other ways to draw attention to your ankles , including a curved asymmetrical hem , zipper details , a raw hem , a fray hem , and even a reversed step hem that is long in the front and short in the back .
The STS Blue denim line is inspired by the casual Southern California vibe . STS Blue is sold at Nordstrom , Macy ’ s , Dillard ’ s and Von Maur , or stsblue . com .
