3 JEANS SO GOOD, YOU'LL WANT TO BURN YOUR OLD ONES

You're Welcome

Feb 11, 2025

Like any other millennial, I spent most of my life stuffed into skinny jeans. Then one day, I slipped into a different shape—roomier, cooler, like my legs had finally been granted parole—and I made myself a promise: I shall never fear denim evolution again.

Jeans don’t just shape your body; they shape your entire photo and personality. The right pair can take you from trying too hard to effortlessly cool. And now, a new/old denim era has arrived—lower rises, looser fits, and girly pops. They don’t just look good—they feel good.

Low and Baggy

I know—when I say low-rise jeans, your mind immediately flashes to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, all torso and hip bones on full display. But don’t panic—it doesn’t have to be that way.

You can wear them with a cozy sweater for a relaxed look or add structure with a blazer for a more polished and elegant style.

Here are a few choices:

Barrel Jeans

This shape has been popular for a while, and it’s still going strong. They feel more fashion-forward and may not be for everyone, but they’re not so out there that they’re intimidating to wear. Pair them with a fitted top in spring to balance the volume, or lean into the oversized look with a good cashmere sweater.

Straight Jeans

These have stood the test of time for a reason. They’re the Goldilocks of denim—not too tight, not too loose, just right. Effortlessly versatile, they pair well with everything from sneakers to heels, casual tees to tailored blazers, making them an easy shortcut to looking put together with minimal effort.

For the best look, opt for rigid, no-stretch denim that softens and molds over time. But if you prefer a little give, I get it—I'll include options with 1% elastane in the curation.

Here are a few choices:

Citizens of Humanity $258 (rigid)
Everlane $118 (nice! tiny stretch)
Levi's® 90s $98 (rigid)
ASOS slim $39.99 (good to transition from skin jeans)
H&M $39.9

Bonus

These jeans have a relaxed fit through the waist, hips, and thighs with a wide leg. With no stretch, they hold their shape while still feeling effortless. If you’re not ready to dive into the ultra-baggy trend, this is the perfect place to start.
