Grey Ant’s High Waist Braid Jeans are tricky to wear.
With the heavy detailing, butt-hugging fit, and wide leg, we’re not sure these jeans have mass appeal.
Thus, we’re a bit perplexed: Why is Urban Outfitters producing their own copy?
Most of Gray Ant’s signature touches appear in the Urban version (braiding, high waist, wide leg), but the elimination of additional braiding on the front pockets makes them a bit easier to wear. We do like the Grey Ant fabric better though, because it’s softer.
But jeans like this will only work if they’re tailored perfectly, and even then, it’s a stretch.
So would you pay the $330 for the high end pair?
Or would you try to work the $68 version, which may be more likely to look bad Urban knock-offs (which, well, they are…)?

i won't wear wide-leg pants because i don't get the point of a pant where your shoe is hidden. i'm into shoes so i wouln't hide them.
and high waisted jeans like that only look good on very tall and very thin. i'm neither nor are most. these won't catch on.
