Charli XCX Wore a Great Pair of Men’s Jeans

Though the debate still rages over whether or not a proverbial girlfriend should be allowed to steal her proverbial boyfriend’s clothes with impunity, the way that these low-slung, faded men’s denim fit on Charli alone should settle it. (In that same spirit, I’m of the opinion that men should be stealing their girlfriends’ clothes to the same degree, but that’s a take for a different story.)

Over the weekend, Charli donned another borrowed-from-the-boys look for her SNL cameo, when she appeared during musical guest Role Model’s performance of his hit single, “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.” She danced on stage as the titular Sally, wearing an ultra-mini leather skirt and a teeny, navy blue shirt—merchandise from an iconic 1970s nightclub, Max’s Kansas City. Role Model (whose latest album is titled Kansas Anymore) had worn the tee earlier in the week, in a teaser video alongside host Amy Poehler and cast member Bowen Yang to promote the episode.

Though Charli’s SNL ensemble felt like a cheeky, walk-of-shame look that played directly into the song’s central theme—a one-night stand with the fleeting, unattainable Sally—some fans speculated it was a response to an alleged slight made by Taylor Swift (whose fiancé, Travis Kelce, plays for the Kansas City Chiefs) her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Gossip aside, let Charli’s borrowed-from-the-boys looks be the reason you let your situationship keep your hoodie and designer denim. She probably looks better in them, anyways.
