Expand Your Jean Pool

There are jeans you wear, and then there are jeans you love to wear. And Company, one of South Norwalk’s chicest boutiques, specializes in the latter kind of specialty denim. Though I have shopped And Company for years, I never realized the depth of their denim collection until I discovered it on a recent visit.

“This whole store is about comfort,” says Hesham Elmished, And Company’s owner. “We carry good basics, and the most comfortable jeans made in America.” And Company’s carefully selected denim labels include AG (Adriano Goldschmeid), a top-selling brand that merges comfort, style and quality.

“Jeans are so personal,” says Izzy Masters, And Company’s lovely sales associate. “I’m the type of girl that, when I find a pair of jeans -- that one right pair that looks and feels amazing -- I wear them until they die. And when they do, I avoid wearing pants for a month while I try to find the pair that will take their place.”

Everyone has their trouble areas when looking for a new pair of jeans. For me, it’s always been about length. At 5’10” tall, most pairs I try on leave me looking like I’m waiting for the flood.

“This is a good design for you, then,” Izzy tells me as she deftly grabs a pair of cigarette-style skinny jeans from the denim display table. “They have a longer inseam and a great silhouette.”

So, if you’re on the hunt for your next pair of near perfect jeans, pay Hesham and Izzy a visit at And Company. You may be surprised at the depth of the jean pool you find there.
