low-rise jeans over 40

This May, three of the six landed straight into my European Summer Carry-On. The capsule: 11 pieces, 173 outfits. The framework: Sudoku on Steroids. The controversial pick this month? Yes, low-rise jeans over 40 — because we’re cool, not crazy. We just know how to style them. Here’s how I’m wearing all six, plus the three that made the carry-on cut.
