One of my favourite wardrobe items is the workhorse that does not become a workhorse immediately but shows its true colours later --- at the very moment you need a bit of a refresh.
I've had many of these over the years and they always bring me great joy.
This pair of Old Navy jeans definitely qualifies. I bought them 3 years ago. Wore them on a San Francisco trip that summer, but not a lot otherwise that season since I was in the mood for dark wash jeans at full length, or cropped jeans in the summer. Last summer, same thing. Suddenly this year, they're the jeans I'm reaching for multiple times a week. I don't mind their mild distressing, I'm in the mood for their light wash, the days are sunny but cool enough so far that I often prefer full length to cropped -- and they are just generally a great jean to wear! Thank you, Old Navy and thank you, fashion world, for A-line wide leg jeans!
Do you have any items like this in your seasonal closet? What made them suddenly workhorses, do you think?
