This is one of my favorite brands for many reasons. If you are going for a more classic, simplistic, but still sleek and sexy look, these are your jeans. Her washes are nothing but the basics- a few classic light washes, a couple mediums, and some beautiful simple dark washes. No frills.
The pocket design is also classic, simple and chic. Her use of fading (thigh, hip and leg creases/fades) is very subtle and more natural looking than those of 7FAM or Rock and Republic. She specializes particularly in fit- with options for how high you want the waist or how wide you like your legs. The pockets are perfectly placed to give you a real 'boost' (they are neither too high or too low for most women and men). I will talk more about pocket placement another day though. She also occasionally adds a faint line down the leg to help elongate and give the illusion of height to the legs. She also has a less expensive line called 'City of Angels by Paige'.
Paige herself has an interesting history of being a model, then a fit model for designer jean brands (such as Joe's and 7 for all Mankind among others). She retired from that business and created her own brand, so you can understand that her passion is fueled by her past experience in the business of endless searching to create the 'perfect fit'. Her full history can be read here.
These were deemed the best fitting jean by Allure magazine when they debuted. Although these don't work for every one, they can be stunning for those that they do work for! Definitely a jean worth checking out for that staple, no-nonsense pair for your closet. :)
