Finding a pair of jeans that fully fits from tummy to toe is something you’ve probably been working toward since you were a teen, so chances are you’ve already crowdsourced denim suggestions from friends and family. But if you’ve exhausted your IRL influences, why not source some celebrity tips, too? Sure, fashion advice from the rich and famous can often be outlandish, unaffordable, or even financially motivated, but sometimes they’re genuine — and every now and then, they can lead you to a pot of gold. This happens to be the case for a particular denim brand beloved by stars but often unknown to the general masses: FRAME.
The luxury jean brand is a go-to for stylish celebrities like Meghan Markle, Olivia Culpo, and Chrissy Teigen. The brand caught our attention once we saw just how many celebs were fans (and Gisele Bündchen’s billboards, in which the jeans look comfy yet effortlessly on-trend). We were initially pessimistic but pleasantly surprised to see designs that were simple and timeless — unlike other fashion tailored to the It Crowd — and prices that felt like an investment but not a robbery.
Katie loves everything from skinny jeans to bootcuts, but if you find yourself craving something that’s more in the middle of the two fits, a straight-leg style is a good compromise. We consider it the Goldilocks fit that flatters almost everyone, especially when it’s made of stretch denim that hugs you in all the right places without feeling too stiff, like FRAME’s Le High Straight.
We spotted this exact style on Markle, who recently wore them on a trip to Nigeria, seemingly recreating a look similar to one Princess Diana wore years ago. Consider that a reason to try them, regardless of whether or not you’re married to a prince.
And if you find yourself loving the style as much as we do, you’re in luck — FRAME’s Le High Straight jean comes in seven different washes, meaning you’ll finally have more than one pair of jeans you actually enjoy wearing.
Le High Straight in Blanc
FRAME
We’re big fans of white-hot jeans for summer, especially when they’re lightweight and breathable. Despite the fabric being on the thinner side, reviewers say these aren’t see-through.

FRAME
Adding an instant dose of cool to an outfit can be as easy as looking for pieces with interesting details, like the frayed hem on this pair of jeans. While ripped knees can be annoying, and shred really easily, a torn hem is more manageable while still being edgy.
Le High Straight in Dublin
FRAME
True blue jeans will become a workhorse of your wardrobe. They pair nicely with nearly any color or style of top, casual or elevated. If you’re on the hunt for a true, deep blue, the Dublin wash from FRAME is the way to go.
