L’Agence 101: A Guide to Shopping the Beloved Denim Standbys


Since its beginnings in 2008, L’Agence has always focused on high-quality denim, blending the brand’s Southern California roots with Parisian flair—and in turn, the label’s name. Founded by Jeff Rudes and Ron Herman in Los Angeles, L’Agence has expanded over time to offer ready-to-wear, accessories, and even sleepwear, with an Eberjey collaboration; however, those first few pairs of jeans that created a cult following in the Hollywood celebrity space still make up the backbone of the brand’s ethos, and the reason loyalists keep coming back.

A Guide to L’Agence’s Most Popular Denim:

With an expansive repertoire of classic styles, plus a handful of modern, trend-forward silhouettes incorporated throughout each season, denim enthusiasts will find a little bit of everything. From the high-waisted skinny jeans that started it all, to simple straight-legs, and leg-elongating flares, the secret is often in their signature stretch fabrications, which provide comfort and flexibility with each and every wear. Ahead, a look at the L’Agence jean styles that have defined the brand.

The Ruth

If you’re looking for a classic, straight-leg jean, the Ruth is just that. Featuring a high-rise fit for that retro, live-in feel, choose your custom stretch level, from subtle to classic and even super stretch, depending on your personal preference. Pair these with all the standard essentials—from button-down shirts to crisp, white T-shirts, for easy, everyday elegance.

The Clayton

Lean on the Clayton as your go-to when craving a denim style that falls somewhere between a voluminous wide-leg and those narrower, straight-leg styles. Think of this as the jean that will give you legs for days, without swallowing the figure—plus, it styles back to everything from tailored blazers to fitted knits, beautifully.

The Scottie

Another wide-leg in the brand’s collection of essentials, the relaxed fit of the Scottie offers an easy (and comfortable!) way to bring a bit of polish to any look. The contoured waistband hits at the natural waist, ensuring no gapping—ever—while a plethora of classic washes makes it easy to cover your bases.

The Beau

If you’re looking for extra volume, go with the Beau. This oversized jean was designed with trend-forward seams and a roomy, wide-leg fit, perfectly in line with the best denim trends of the season. Whether worn with a heeled boot or retro sneaker, its styling versatility is truly endless.

The Selma

The Selma is L’Agence’s answer to all the boot-cut denim styles we have been seeing all over the street style scene, as of late. With a slim-cut leg that flares gently just below the knee, this timeless shape is a soon-to-be staple, once you’ve taken them for their first test drive. Wear them the Bella Hadid way, with an on-trend shoe, of course.

The Margot

Skinny jeans are back, but the beloved staple never really left. Enter: the Margot—a customer favorite, with good reason. Made from premium stretch denim, the jeans’ signature high-rise waistband slims the figure, smoothing and sculpting with every movement. Show off your favorite flats or tuck into knee-high boots, with the ankle-hitting hem length.

The Marguerite

Another skinny silhouette, just a little longer. The Marguerite boasts a 30-inch inseam (whereas the Margot hits at 26 inches). Similarly, these have a high-waisted shape with plenty of stretch—simply choose the level you prefer and the wash that fits your mood. We love both the tried-and-true blues and the trademark noir.

The Liora

You’ve covered all the classics, now reach for something with a bit more detailing. The Leora is a cropped shape with just a hint of an on-trend, curved leg, ideal for petites, as well. The bold twist comes from a visible, gold button fly, offering a fresh way to update your jeans drawer for a statement look.

The Sera

“Sneaker jean” is a term editors often throw around when on the hunt for the perfect flared option that can be worn with a flat shoe. Meet the Sera—a classic flare that offers the length you need (32-inch inseam), without the dragging hemline—allowing you to wear them with all those trending sneakers, without batting an eyelash.

The Cody

Barrel-legs need no introduction—by now you’ve definitely spotted them across your feeds. What sets the Cody apart from the rest is L’Agence’s use of non-stretch denim, so that the modern, tailored fit we’re all after is naturally woven in. Style with a jacket, fitted top, and mules for the ultimate in contemporary outfitting.
