If you read GQ's first-ever global cover story on The Weeknd this morning—and of course you did, because you're a person of substance and taste who keeps their finger on the pulse—you were instantly greeted with a look of heart-stopping, '70s-inflected proportions. The oversized shades. The fierce necklace. Those heels. And anchoring the whole thing? A pair of impeccably pressed, epically flared black jeans.
Perhaps you gazed longingly at that photo and thought to yourself, Gee whiz, I could never afford an outfit that audacious. And, well…you'd be mostly correct. The sunglasses, the jewelry, the boots—all of them will set you back quite the pretty penny. But the jeans! The jeans, on the other hand, are available right now for a measly $26, courtesy of the western wear stalwarts at Wrangler.
A GQ house favorite—deputy fashion director Jon Tietz calls them his “favorite pant on the planet”—the Wrangler Wrancher boasts the kind of hip-hugging, extremely-right-now silhouette every designer on the planet is chasing right now. The century-old label calls them a “dress jean”—hence the sharp creases down each leg—but they'll bring a taste of daring cowpoke energy to anything you'd normally wear with regular-ass black jeans. Tuck in your raddest vintage tee, zip up your tallest boots, and swagger forth like the MF'ing Starboy you are.
