Just Jeans: 8 Styles Available in Sonoma County Boutiques
Just when you've come to terms with the fact that you’re going to be wearing skinny jeans forever, bellbottoms are “it” again.
Bootlegs are back: The flare on this cut is slim, making the transition from skinny to bell-bottom a little less extreme. $208, Perlé Sonoma, 124 W Napa St., Sonoma, 707-935-5800, perlesonoma.com
“Day & Night” Stripes: The unique weaving process of these jeans creates a striped railroad pattern. A good cuff-rolling at the bottom gives this adorable detail some visibility. And to make things more exciting, this pattern becomes more visible through wear. Woot! $153, Kaliber, 315 D St, Santa Rosa, 707-528-0182, shopkaliber.com
“Ponyboy” Pants: These jeans must have been inspired by a fifties vibe, possibly through an eighties lens, if you consider the character from The Outsiders after which they are named. $245, Punch Clothing, 711 4th St. Santa Rosa, 707-526-4766, 387 Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg, 707-395-0022, shoppunchclothing.com
Seventies Chic: To tuck or not tuck in your pant legs, that is the question that now is yours to answer with the return of these flared pants. Woot! $62, Oohlaluxe, 326 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg, 109 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma, 707-769-7787, 1019 Santa Rosa Plaza in Santa Rosa, 707-566-4735, oohlaluxe.com
Culottes and the undone hems: Culotte style is just so moms-in-the-70s, and the undone hem is the 70s mother’s answer to her kid’s growth spurt. That’s being done (or undone) on purpose here for a little nostalgic style. $248, Tamarind Sebastopol, 180 Morris St #170, Sebastopol, 707-861-9513, Tamarind Healdsburg, 418 Healdsburg Ave. Healdsburg, 707-473-8773, shoptamarind.com
Dare to flare: And dress like Cher! These super-wide bell bottoms are full of flowing fabric fun. $68, Oohlaluxe, 326 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg, 109 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma, 707-769-7787, 1019 Santa Rosa Plaza in Santa Rosa, 707-566-4735, oohlaluxe.com
Just Jeans: Fitted jeans, milled and sewn in Greenville, South Carolina. Button fly or zipper option. Can't argue with that. $250, Scout West County, 780 depot St., Suite 140, Sebastopol, 707-827-6045, scoutwestcounty.com
Punch up your blues: I know we promised this post to be just about jeans, but Ereloom’s styling of these Citizens of Humanity jeans with plaid (Frank and Eileen), colorful socks (Happy Socks), and a lovable Snoopy timepiece (Timex) is too good pass up. Ereloom, 110 Matheson St., Healdsburg, 707-395-0550, ereloom.com
