Can’t seem to get these Current/Elliott jeans off me. I’ve been asked several times recently (by some very silent followers who are too shy to shoot their questions live!) how to wear animal print jeans.
So for the fourth third time in a week, I decided to wear these darlings again just to get you inspired.
I’d say keep it clean. Go for a simple t shirt or silk boyfriend button-down. Just keep in mind that your bottoms are already busy and represent that loud statement piece in your outfit, so don’t try to overshadow them with anything extra snazzy.
In other words, let them have their little self-indulgement moment all to themselves!
This time around, I decided to wear them with this grey wool/cotton blend v-neck and my fave super soft distressed leather trench, which reminds me so much of that one trench Burberry conceived for their 2012 Resort Collection, except for well..a slight color variation.
Love the whole idea of having some furriness peep out from the sides, so I threw in this cropped fur vest which not only adds a touch of texture to the look, it also keeps me super warm.
AND, you’ve probably already noticed, but I’m a huge huge fan of ankle booties and have been using them since forever, in particular these Western inspired fringed ones which are unbelievably comfy. Notice the leg game going on there? that’s what makes these stiletto jeans so special, although I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off the no-sock-look all throughout winter…doubt it.
In case you’re wondering, no, I didn’t get bronchitis from going out with wet, slicked back hair…I did go out, but managed to stay indoors while having my all-time favorite Martini rosso with a curl of orange peel with ma peeps.

Really hope you can answer me fast. I love these jeans on you! I am about to purchase but I am in doubt with size. i normally wear 24 in Current Elliott. Do these stretch out a lot? Hope you can help me with the size, also if you don’t mind telling me the size of these to compare with size
All the best!

Hi Nina,
Thanks!!
Hope Im not too late. I’m a 24 in Current/Elliotts as well and yes, these stretch just as much as all the rest. Although this one in particular I had to buy in a 25 cause the 24 was sold out and I just had it taken in at the tailors.
If you’re usually a 24, I’d go for it, if it stretches out too much, you can just get it fixed, it’s what I do with my jeans whenever I don’t want them to get too baggy.
Hope this helps!
Good luck shopping!

Not a bit to late!
I’ve not yet purchased, I was hoping to hear from you, and thank you! Hope they’ll suit me as much as they suit you.
They also have them in 23, would that be overkill you think? I like my jeans painted on, but off course over my behind. Ha ha. We look similar in size, and now that you’ve tried the 25, would to sizes down have worked? It’s just if they stretch a lot, both 24 and 23 is in stock. It’s a good tip, I’ll keep that in mind. But I thought now that they have every size I would do a little research..
