• High-rise waistband that sits firmly at the natural waist, holding the silhouette in place without pulling or gaping
• Coated finish gives the fabric a sleek, leather-like appearance while the viscose-rich blend keeps it soft against the skin with a cool handfeel that skims the body
• Skinny cut that tapers through the thigh and calf, finishing with a split hem that opens at the ankle for ease of movement and a sharp edge
• The split hem detail at the ankle is the standout feature - it breaks the leg in a way that works with both heels and flat shoes
• Stretch in the construction means these move with you rather than restricting, holding their shape through a full night out

The coated surface catches the light as you move, which does a lot of the work on a night out without needing much else. These jeans sit high and stay put, so you can pair them with a cropped top or an oversized knit - as styled here with a belted chunky cardigan - and the proportions land right every time. The split hem sits cleanly over heeled toe-post sandals or strappy heels, drawing the eye down the leg. For drinks with friends or a bar night, keep the top half simple and let the coated finish speak for itself. A fitted bodysuit or a sleek long-sleeve top tucked in at the waist keeps the look tight and intentional. These aren't daytime jeans - the finish is too deliberate for that - but from early evening onwards, they earn their place in the rotation every time.
