At the end of the day, the right pair of jeans can make me feel better than just about anything in my closet. Sexy, cool, put-together – no matter what you’re dressing for, there’s a pair of jeans that can get you there. And we’ve found the perfect jeans for you.
Where are my denim drama queens? I’m talking about the women who love a statement jean. Much like the stunning stylish woman in the header photo, I’ve been wearing a wide-leg, high-waisted pair a lot lately. J.Crew’s light wash superwide leg is a very similar look, and Anine Bing’s Hugh jean is a more structured version. If you’re really going for it, Raey’s 90s denim jean is a favorite of one of our editors. They just makes every outfit look cool.
In fact, looser denim is undeniably in right now. Especially a straighter, more 90s inspired cut. AYR’s Secret Sauce jean has been a cult favorite for a few years among the fashion crowd, influenced by the classic vintage American look. Tuckernuck, a brand known more for dresses than denim, has a great edit right now – like these MOTHER Maven sneak jeans in a super light wash.
The biggest trend in jeans right now? The bootcut is back, baby. My go-to pair has been MOTHER’s The Weekender jean in a darker indigo wash, with a slightly cropped mini flare. If you’re looking for a more traditional take, Rag & Bone’s Peyton jean ticks all the boxes.
And of course, we would never do a denim story without the classic cropped, skinnier cut. Consider these the Audrey Hepburn cut. This pair of The Rider jeans from MOTHER is a favorite for styling with a crisp white shirt and my ancient Chanel ballet flats.
