Promesse High-Rise Tapered-Leg Organic Stretch-Denim Jeans

When it comes to laid-back styles, trust Paris-based brand Maje and its 20 years of expertise in French-girl nonchalance. Take the Promesse jeans: they’re cut to a high-rise shape and neatly taper at the cropped cuffs. Slightly faded over the thighs, they look as though they're a treasure picked up in a vintage store, and the pair is even part of the brand's responsible collection, crafted from organic cotton and washed in a more planet-friendly way.

• 98% cotton, 2% elastane Pocket lining: 53% polyester, 47% cotton

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
