I Tried On Hundreds of Jeans in 2025—Here are my Top 10

It’s the time of year when we start reflecting on what really matters. Like jeans! No, I kid, though I do think it’s worthwhile to take stock of what we wore and loved in 2025, and celebrate the pieces that really delivered—i.e. made life easier, more expressive and fun. For me, that’s jeans. I tried on hundreds (yes, hundreds) of pairs this year and was delighted more than ever by the variety of styles I had to choose from. 2025 was really the year anything goes (er, went?). Barrel, straight-leg, bootcut, slim fit, high rise, skinny, stretch, rigid, wide… all of these fits had a place in fashion, and in my weekly rotation. And although I cycled through dozens of styles over the past twelve months, some really rose to the top and ran on repeat.

Here, my 10 Best Jeans of 2025—with a bonus pair that’s sure to stay relevant through 2026 and the years and years to come.
