Padded-Knee Mid-Rise Tapered-Leg Stretch-Denim Jeans

Racing to the top of our must-haves is this pair of streamlined jeans from Balmain. Headed up by Olivier Rousteing – who has shown a strong penchant for a refined take on the biker aesthetic – the Parisian maison crafts this padded pair from stretch-denim, featuring a second-skin effect that reminds us of motorbike leathers. Couple that with the ribbed knee panels and you've found yourself a pair worthy of the Paris Motor Show.
