The GAP barrel jeans were passed down to me after my mom decided she didn’t want them anymore, and they’ve quickly become one of my favorite pairs. The barrel silhouette has that perfect mix of structure and ease-wide through the leg with a relaxed, effortless shape that still feels intentional. They hit that sweet spot between trendy and timeless, the kind of jeans you can style a dozen different ways without trying too hard.

What makes them even better is the fact that they came from her closet. There’s something fun about giving new life to a piece she once wore, turning it into something that fits my style in a completely different way. Whether I dress them up with a fitted top or keep it casual with a hoodie, they always make the outfit feel interesting. Plus, its a little reminder that her taste still lives on in my wardrobe-even it she didn’t want them anymore.
