Sure, though this is more for practical dressing imo. I live in my vintage 501s but I wouldn't call them "smart"

Or maybe I just don't know what "smart" means... to me it means clean lines and good tailoring. So a wide-leg trouser-style jean over vintage Levis

But women used to be thin, I have to size up to M lol

We're not talking vintage here, just secondhand.

This.

It's also the fit & cut of the clothes.

Theory, COS, Mango, Vince, Uniqlo. Pay attention to current silhouettes and what is flattering to you.

I love Hobbs which just opened a store in Tysons corner and Reiss.
