"Now that J. Brand has officially cornered the market on pitch-perfect, unfussy denim, they&amp;#x27;re moving on to the rest of your wardrobe. Their ready-to-wear line has just hit stores, and we&amp;#x27;re guessing you&amp;#x27;ll want to make space in your closet for basics that feel anything but... The line consists of chunky knit sweaters, silk blouses, tailored trousers, and unexpected pieces like leather sweatshirts and pajama pants that all follow the logo-free, minimalist-with-a-twist aesthetic of their denim. It was a natural progression for the brand, considering design director Donald Oliver tells us, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t know one woman today who doesn&amp;#x27;t wear denim.&amp;quot; And of course, all of those J. Brand loyalists need something to pair their perfect jeans with, so enter the new line. &amp;quot;We wanted to take an unexpected look at denim wash and finish techniques and apply them to non-denim fabrications, continuing the clean streamlined aesthetic of the brand,&amp;quot; he says. The result is a strong debut of pieces that are sublimely suited to lasses who love a modern feel to their wardrobe but don&amp;#x27;t want to look like total trendoids. The spring collection&amp;#x27;s standout pieces are a leather moto jacket, rendered fresh in a chic gray hue, and perfect-fit blazers, which Donald calls &amp;quot;another essential - one that she can wear out to work or on the town.&amp;quot; If you could sum up the new J. Brand ready-to-wear ethos in a few simple words, Donald nails it best: &amp;quot;You never want to look like you&amp;#x27;re trying too hard.&amp;quot; Check out the full collection at jbrandjeans.com and let us know what you think!
