Israeli Style Column Breaks Down the Season’s Hottest Jeans

A fashion column focused on how Israeli women styled jeans at a recent pop-up launch by designer Eti Kovo, who presented her basics label COTO alongside her jewelry brand Coconut Love. The writer says jeans are often treated as an obvious wardrobe staple, but argues that most pairs are unflattering or uninspiring, which is why she sometimes goes years between buying new ones.

At the event, nearly everyone arrived in denim, giving the writer a chance to compare cuts and styling. Alin Cohen wore a very low-rise pair, a silhouette that was huge at the start of the millennium and is now making a comeback, paired with calm accessories and, notably, eyeglasses. Bar Refaeli opted for straight-leg jeans with a matching denim shirt in a double-denim look, ballerina flats, a Chanel bag, open shirt buttons, and a pale blue and beige palette that the column describes as quiet luxury.

Shay-Lee Lipa wore high-waisted jeans with a white button-down shirt, pearl earrings, and red manicure and pedicure, creating a classic, timeless look. Leah Snirrer chose barrel jeans in a dark wash, while the writer would have hemmed them differently. Kim Or Azulay wore wide-leg jeans while pregnant, with a belt adding style.

The column also highlighted Neta Alchimister in short oversized jeans with a diagonal cut, and Romi Frankel, 23, in baggy jeans, a white tank top, and flip-flops, a look the writer says suits teenagers best but still works well as a denim choice.
