A new pair of black jeans, that was the mission. Now I am quite loyal to one denim manufacturer, but I had to shell out countless euros for that again. I wanted something different, at a low price, but still nice. A bit of a penny-pinching job. And there was our Lot, who whispers things to you.

Arket was where I had to be, she said. Because there you have the classic five pocket in the deepest black. A little cropped, not too low cut, the much-needed stretch and blacker than black. For sixty euros you're done, spread the word.

P.S.: My finest basic shirts actually come from the same place, which you actually always need.
