We’re in love with these skinny, dark wash jeans from AGOLDE. The pinch waist will accentuate your hourglass figure (so flattering!). They’re slightly faded and have gunmetal hardware, which adds to their overall grunge vibe. They would pair perfectly with a graphic tee or a crop top and your favorite sneakers.
