I judged Jessica Joness jeans prematurely.
This was not true.
(Blame screener sites, and reportorial laziness.)
Those jeans made sense for her in the first season.
They occupy a space thats not entirely on-the-nose fashionable.
She would just be hot and miserable.
We made peace with them in a similar way that Jessica makes peace with them.
But enough about the old jeans.
Ever since Vastola signed on for the second season, she envisioned expanding Jessicas wardrobe beyond her trademark outfit.
Her jeans take a lot of very visceral damage this season, she says.
Theres a lot of blood.
Theres an episode where shes burning the clothing that she has on.
That felt like the most natural point to find something new.
Heres the story behind the new denim.
(She accidentally wears them to a shiva.)
Its like her version of a superhero suit, she says.
Its darker, its easier to sneak around in, and it feels a little bit more rough.
Plus, Vastola says, I kind of prefer the color to her Citizens.
Its not as cheery of a blue.
Its definitely a little more intense-feeling.
It just so happens that they have a really rugged, plain, boxy look that fit Krys beautifully.
(The exact year isnt specified, but the vibe is veryPop Culture Died in 2009.)
Instead, they sourced period-appropriate clothes from Urban Outfitters and Barneys.
(That the mid-2000s look is slowly coming back in style surely helped.)
Other times, they just made the clothes themselves.
