Happy Holidays!
Here’s a truly feel-good, and look-good, gift idea
Style / 16 Dec 2011
For those still slacking on their holiday shopping (you know who you are), may we make a suggestion? Fashion denim line J Brand has created three limited edition colors of its famous skinny fit jeans: Apache (a warm khaki), Vine (a dark olive), and Plumberry (a dark saturated fuchsia). Even better than the fact that they’re among the most universally flattering jeans around is that 100% of the net proceeds are going to City Year, a nonprofit organization that partners with public schools to provide full-time targeted intervention for students most at risk of dropping out.
Giving your loved one the gift of her new favorite jeans while also helping keep kids in school is a win-win, but those members of the fairer sex shouldn’t feel bad about picking up a pair for themselves, either. A little self-gifting never hurt anyone, especially when it’s in the name of charity, right?
 
 
P.S. – Trendcentral will be recharging its batteries over the next two weeks. Publication will resume on January 3rd. Happy holidays, and we’ll see you next year!
