$240 I've never been a fan of Diesel's jeans. The overabundance of details detracts from the fit and fabric (which aren't great). However, I thought I’d see what their options were. The massive store in midtown was surprisingly quiet, which was a relief, and I did find one pair of extremely wide-leg jeans with a large cuff at the hem ($240). But once on, the exaggerated bell-shaped flare looked clownish. And worse yet, the huge back pockets were covered with colorful striped embroidery, which made the jeans very hard to wear with, well, just about anything. The loud details and the huge cuff reminded me of the rave days I endured through high school—and would like to forget as quickly as possible. 770 Lexington Ave., at 60th St.; 212-308-0055. |
