I'm a Picky Jeans Shopper—But These Are the Ones I’ve Come to Rely on the Most

I’ve have had a long, complicated history with jeans. With an hourglass figure and a 5’6" frame, finding a pair that fits properly—waist, hips and length—hasn’t always been straightforward. But this year, something shifted. After testing more styles than I’d like to admit, I’ve finally landed on the cuts that actually work; the pairs that hold their shape, sit comfortably on the waist and don’t gape the moment I move. They’ve become the crème de la crème of my wardrobe, and I reach for them without hesitation. If you’ve been searching for your own reliable pair, these are the ones worth your time.
