Double Tap to Zoom

When it comes to new legwear, there aren't many better feelings than putting on a new pair of jeans that you can entrust to wear alongside you — a pair that builds character with each use. However, under current quarantine conditions, it's a feeling many of us might not have experienced recently. These circumstances will inevitably change, though, and we're looking ahead to pieces that we'll be wearing once they do. And we're turning our attention to SS20 denim.

In particular, it's the turn of luxury denim to hold our attention this time. London-based destination MATCHESFASHION has the latest goods from a list of our most beloved brands, including Jacquemus, Martine Rose, Loewe, and Rick Owens. We've picked out 10 pairs below to get you started.

Jacquemus' Spring/Summer 2020 show took place in the french countryside — Province to be exact. This pair of jeans from that very collection appears to have brought a bit of Province's flora with them, coming with embroidered lavender details.

Off-White™

Virgil Abloh cited legendary graffiti artist Futura as a key influence on his SS20 Off-White™ output. Continuing the rebellious use of paint, these carpenter jeans are dressed in splashes of the stuff.

Loewe
