Denim doesn't have to mean the same wash you've worn a hundred times before. Our Striped Straight-Leg Jeans refresh your denim collection with timeless blue and white vertical stripes, a flattering high-rise wide-leg silhouette, and a feminine self-tie waist detail — the kind of pair that instantly makes a plain top or tank feel intentional.
In this post, we're covering the design, the fit, and how to style this pair for celebrations, travel, and everyday wear — plus why we'd recommend acting fast if it catches your eye.
A Quick Note on Fabric Details
Since lace detailing comes up often in our style guides, it's worth being upfront: this is a cotton denim pair with a self-tie waist, not a lace piece. If you're specifically shopping for lace, our Kathryn Classic Button-Up in Lace or Lace Long Kimono are great places to look, and we've also written a whole post on Lace Outfits for the 4th of July.

These jeans offer effortless style for spring, summer, and beyond. Perfect for vacations, brunch, casual weekends, and everyday wear, they pair beautifully with tanks, bodysuits, sweaters, and sandals for an easy, polished look. With only 1 left in stock (currently in size 6), this is genuinely close to being gone for good.
The Design Details
What sets this pair apart from a basic denim wash comes down to a handful of thoughtful details:
- Vertical stripe pattern — Timeless blue and white stripes that read as fresh and unexpected without straying into novelty territory.
- High rise — Defines your waist and pairs beautifully with cropped or tucked-in tops.
- Wide leg, full length — A flattering, flowing silhouette rather than a fitted or skinny cut.
- Self-tie waist detail — A feminine touch that adds a bit of adjustability and visual interest at the waistband.
- Functional front and back pockets — Genuinely useful, not just decorative.
- Zip fly with button closure — Classic, secure construction.
- True to size — Order your usual size with confidence.
