Dark Denim Capsule Collection | Closet choreography and Fidelity Denim
My trademark capsule wardrobe always includes denim. Having great jeans will help you so much. Nice jeans make you look good, but never like you’re trying too hard. They are ageless and essential to every woman’s wardrobe. I partnered with my favorite premium denim brand to bring you a versatile 3-piece dark denim capsule collection. We proudly premiere our “CC The Base” jeans, “CC Take 2” skirt, and “CC Triple Threat” convertible belt. We hope these dark denim pieces will set the tempo for your style this season and leave you craving an encore. Meet the cast.
CC The Base
It’s all about that bass. You don’t just hear the base you feel it. These premium dark denim jeans with a cuff feel great and fit amazing.
Fit Check
Front Rise: 11″
Leg Opening: 24”
Inseam: 29″ cuffed
All of the pieces in this collection are made of Excel denim. This premium performance stretch fabric is so slimming. It holds you in, but unlike most “dark denim”, is comfortable. It stretches and moves with you so you can easily size down in this wide leg style.
Size down. I’m 5’4″ and wearing a size 24. I usually wear a 25 in most premium denim brands.
Dress them down with sneakers or boots, or wear them with your favorite heels.
CC Take Two
Could you give your jeans a break? This versatile skirt is designed to be worn, washed, and repeated. It is intentionally designed to start just above your belly button and stop at your ankle. This style works with short tops and long sweaters without disrupting your proportions.
Fit Check
Center Front: 35″
Center Back: 36.5″
Slit Length: 19″
Unlike most fitted jean skirts, this one stretches and won’t crawl up. It has faux pockets that flatten your tummy in the front, and perfectly placed pockets in the back.
It’s one of a kind narrow belt loops keep your belt from slipping. The narrow belt loops also fit completely under our CC Triple Threat convertible belt to transform the look of this skirt altogether.

Jean Skirt Outfits
Do a double-take. Does this jeans skirt look familiar? That’s because I have a version of it in every denim wash. She’s been in two of my most popular capsule wardrobes and is the glue to many of my Haute Mama looks. A long denim skirt was one of 10 pieces on my Street Style Capsule Wardrobe checklist that made 72 outfits. Get the 25 outfit formulas you can recreate with a long denim skirt in my free Lookbook.

Haute Mama Look
CC Triple Threat
This stretchy convertible belt does it all. It can sing solo as a belt. Combined with “The Base” it also acts like high-rise jeans. It dances with the skirt too.
You can wrap this belt with the widest section in the front (above) or back (below). There are so many ways it will work with your wardrobe. Style it over a dress, tunic, or blazer. Tie it in a big bow on the hip. Transform your jeans into tuxedo pants or convert your jean skirt into a high-waisted style you can wear with a cropped top.

Dark Denim Dos & Don’ts
If you’re like me, you won’t want to stop wearing it to wash it, but you should. When its new premium dark denim bleeds blue. Soaking your jeans in cold water with distilled vinegar helps set the dye. Always wash them inside out and a few times on their own before you wear them with light colors.
