CoH 90s French High Rise Jean in Andreas Washed Black

If you’re only investing in one pair of black jeans, make them a really good pair.

The Citizens of Humanity 90s French High Rise Jean in Andreas Washed Black was one of those pieces we didn’t have to think twice about. The fit is everything—high-rise, effortlessly relaxed and inspired by that perfectly worn-in ’90s denim we all spend years searching for.

The washed black finish is what really won us over. Softer than true black and easier to wear than you might expect, it has that authentic, lived-in feel that works with everything from crisp shirting to cashmere and simple white tees.

These aren’t trend-led jeans. They’re forever jeans.

Why they made the cut

• The ’90s-inspired silhouette feels modern, flattering and refreshingly timeless.
• Andreas Washed Black is the perfect faded black—soft, authentic and incredibly versatile.
• The high-rise fit creates an effortless silhouette you’ll reach for time and time again.
• They work just as beautifully with trainers as they do with loafers or heels.
• We always look for denim you’ll still be wearing in five years’ time. These were an easy yes.

How we’d wear them…

With a crisp white shirt and loafers for understated polish, a washed graphic tee and trainers for effortless weekends, or a black cashmere knit and gold jewellery for a simple monochrome look. We’d finish with a great belt and let the denim do what great denim always does.

Care

Machine wash inside out on a cool cycle with similar dark colours. Wash only when needed to help preserve the colour and shape. Line dry naturally and avoid tumble drying. Over time, they’ll soften beautifully while keeping their character. Always follow the care label instructions.

The best denim isn’t the pair you save for special occasions. It’s the pair you wear so often that every other pair starts to feel neglected. That’s exactly why these came home with us.
