Jeans are the backbone of any wardrobe. From baggy pairs you can travel in to sleek straight-leg ones you can wear to the office, you’ll need several styles in your arsenal. We’ve found this season’s best denim for you, including affordable and trendy options. Grab a pair of white jeans while you’re at it — summer’s just around the corner.
Looking for more affordable, yet stylish ways to revamp your wardrobe this spring? Here’s how to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch, event dresses you'll wear more than once, and the best shoes and bags.
A new Levi’s style we can’t wait to try…
We’ve been wearing Levi’s Baggy Dad Jeans forever, so when they released this slightly less baggy version, we knew we had to try them. They’re tight in all the right places with a relaxed straight leg. They’ll be your new weekend warriors.
A pair of bootcut jeans Bella Hadid would approve of…
We saw Bella Hadid wearing bootcut jeans, so we bought bootcut jeans. These have a little stretch, so even though they’re tight, you won’t feel constricted. The flared leg goes well with booties.
A pair of low-rise jeans since they’re sticking around…
It seems that the trend has staying power, so these are the ones that calmed our fears of low-rise jeans. They hit just below your belly button, so you don’t have to worry about showing too much. Plus, they’re less baggy than other pairs, so you won’t feel like you’re being swallowed.
A comfortable pair of trouser jeans…
These are mid-rise with a drawstring waist to ensure they fit just right. They’re comfy enough to wear to the airport, but the trouser leg makes them look polished, so there’s nowhere you can’t take them. They also come in a nice military green.
Our new favorite baggy jeans…
One editor just bought these and can’t stop talking about how perfect the fit is. While most baggy jeans overwhelm her, these are fitted in the waist and tight enough in the butt that it looks like she actually has one. The wide legs can be cuffed for a trendy touch.
A pair of affordable barrel-leg jeans…
Barrel jeans are still going strong this spring, so if you want a low stakes way to try them, grab this affordable Old Navy pair. They’re made of thick, vintage-looking denim and will pair nicely with ballet flats or loafers.
A pair of ankle-length wide-leg jeans…
No matter the season, wide-leg jeans are always on trend. When you feel like making a statement, whip these out with a kitten heel, and you already have a whole outfit.
A pair of white jeans that’ll be your new closet staple…
Everyone should own a good pair of white jeans. These are low-rise (but not overly so), and have a comfortable baggy leg. Pair them with your favorite white tee for an effortless vibe.
A pair of workwear jeans to mix it up…
When you feel like you’ve been wearing the same jeans for days on end, it’s nice to have a pair like these in your rotation. They have traditional workwear-inspired details, like leg pockets and a hammer loop, but the cropped straight-leg fit still looks polished.
A pair of Mother jeans that’ll stand the test of time…
Nothing is worse than finding a great pair of jeans and then watching them stretch out as you wear them. These will maintain their perfect high-rise, straight-leg fit, no matter how much you throw them on. We've been wearing Mother jeans for years, and we can confirm that they really last.
A pair of Levi’s that look vintage…
These could be the Levi’s that you stumbled upon at your favorite vintage store, thanks to that just-distressed-enough wash. The ribcage style is a classic in and of itself (it has a high waist and a bootcut leg), and looks equally cool with sneakers or sandals. Just add a pair of strappy heels and you’re practically CBK.
A pair of skinny-straight jeans…
If you’re not quite back on board with skinny jeans, try this pair with a slim-straight leg. They have a good amount of stretch but will hold their shape. The ankle length goes great with heels.
A pair of Zara jeans you’ll want in multiple colors…
Zara jeans always exceed our expectations in fit and quality. These high-waisted “mom jeans” look like something Rachel Green would lounge in (complimentary). You’ll wear them weekend after weekend, especially if you grab the brown and white ones, too.
A loose pair for cool girl vibes…
Abercrombie really outdid themselves with this pair. They have the same low-rise fit as their classic low-rise jeans, but with a wider, extra-loose leg. We feel so cool when we wear these with sneakers and a cute top, so now we’re eyeing the new cuffed ones.
A pair of capris your younger self would be proud of…
We’re here for the capri comeback, and these are a great way to get in on the trend without spending too much. They’re fitted, stretchy, and hit just below the knee. They look chic with strappy sandals.
A pair of overalls that’ll last forever…
One editor has been wearing the same pair of Levi’s overalls since college, and they still look just as good as the day she got them. These have a just-right fit — not so baggy that you look like a preschooler, not so tight that they’re awkwardly constricting. We find these comfortable enough to wear while working from home.
