Of course, there were the aghast social media comments, those are to be expected, but the moment also inspired a reasonable question: How much is too much to spend on jeans? These jeans are something of an outlier, having been designed — undoubtedly — with celebrities and the 1% in mind. Cheaper options are plentiful across the market — from classic $100 Levi’s to newer denim brands, such as MUD Jeans or ELV Denim, emphasizing their sustainable or circular credentials (jeans in this category tend to be priced around $200 to $500.)

"The skinny jean is not going anywhere anytime soon," Bergh said.

☆ Trump 'truths' misleading clips that smear rape accuser E. Jean Carroll after his deposition at Mar-a-Lago

Trump was deposed at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday in writer E. Jean Carroll's 2019 rape defamation suit. In his first response, Trump 'truthed' two clips from the conservative video platform Rumble. Without commenting, Trump 'truthed' out a pair of Rumble clips that combined snippets of old interview footage of Carroll. The misleadingly edited, minute-long clips use Carroll's out-of-context remarks to imply she fantasizes about rape and did not take her own accusations against Trump seriously. Carroll has accused Trump of raping her in the mid-'90s in the fitting room of a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman store.

(foto) Și dacă tot încep ploile, aceste umbrele te pot face să te îndrăgostești de eleUmbrelele au fost inventate încă înaintea erei noastre și de atunci, evident, au evoluat. # Umbrele pentru fanii lui Van GoghSub cupola unei umbrele obișnuite se ascunde un fragment din tabloul „Noaptea înstelată” al renumitului pictor olandez. Umbrela nu se deformează și nu se întoarce pe dos, cum se întâmplă des cu multe alte umbrele din cauza vântului. # Umbrelă – curcubeuUmbrela, vopsită în toate culorile spectrului, creează o zi luminoasă chiar și în cea mai nefavorabilă vreme. O astfel de umbrelă poate fi oferită în dar fără vreo rușine, cu atât mai mult că are o gamă variată de culori.
