Closed Denim Skinny Pusher jeans // Demy Lee sweater via Pink Lagoon // Golden Goose sneakers
Earlier this year I discovered Italian denim line, Closed.
They immediately reminded me of THE denim of my childhood – Marithé + François Girbaud. The tiny label on the fly took me back to the colorful jeans I used to wear (teal and purple were my faves).
Of course I had to order a pair… or four. Here is my review of this amazing premium denim line.
The first thing you should know is that Closed has four fit categories – Skinny, Slim, Heritage and Relaxed. I tried pairs from every category except relaxed, and found the skinny and heritage styles worked best for my body type – long torso, shorter legs, pear shaped.
For everyday jeans, I love the Skinny Pusher and the Baker High. Both are high waist (10 inch rise), cropped, with a drainpipe leg. The difference is a skinny fit (Pusher) versus a slim fit (Baker).
For something more unique, I adore these paper bag waist jeans.
I love that the majority of their styles have a zipper fly. I had an epiphany this year about button fly jeans. Jeans nowadays are all high waisted and a zipper fly is just so much more practical and comfortable. I do love a button fly for vintage 100% cotton jeans though.
Sizing
Their styles are made in both stretch denim and 100% cotton.
If you are going with 100% cotton, size up. I ordered a sale pair in a 27 (last size; I’m normally a 25 or 26) and was surprised that they fit.
If you are going with a stretch denim pair, take your normal size. I’m wearing a size 26 here, but could have sized down to a 25.
Where to Buy
While they have great sales on their website, having your order go through customs is kind of a pain if you need to return something.
These stateside retailers also carry the line and some offer 2-day free shipping.
If you’re looking for a pair of high-quality, unique jeans, definitely check out Closed. There aren’t any other jeans like them on the market and they are super comfy and chic.

Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t. The retailers I listed that sell them often have Friends & Family or seasonal sales in which you can score them at a discount. That’s my best advice for finding them on sale. Hope that helps!
