- What is a bow-leg jean?
- The leg curves outward below the knee and widens into a rounded, bowed opening instead of falling straight. It reads as a softer, more sculptural version of a wide-leg jean.
- How does the Mallis fit compare with a standard wide-leg jean?
- It sits high on the waist like other L'AGENCE high-rise styles, but the leg bows out rather than dropping straight. The 16.25-inch leg opening is wider than most wide-leg cuts.
- Will the 25.5-inch inseam be long enough?
- It is a cropped, ankle-length inseam, so it suits petite and average heights. Taller shoppers should expect it to hit above the ankle.
- What is the fabric like?
- It is 55% recycled cotton, 26% recycled polyester, 18% viscose and 1% elastane. That gives a denim look with a little stretch and a softer hand than all-cotton rigid denim.
- How should I care for them?
- They are machine washable. Wash cold and inside out to protect the saturated blue wash, and line dry or tumble low to keep the shape.
- What shoes work with the bow leg?
- A pointed or slim shoe keeps the wide opening from swallowing the foot. Chunky sneakers and boots can work if you want the leg to sit over them.
