Over the years, we’ve heard about hundreds of jeans (at one point, our guide to the best jeans for all shapes and sizes featured around 50 different pairs). But there’s been no better time to buy a pair of jeans than now. Nothing’s on the outs and just about anything goes, be it the cut (straight leg, wide leg, barrel leg), wash (dark, medium, light), or rise (high, mid, low). But the sheer amount of options might mean you’re wondering, What exactly should I even buy? Well, if you’re in need of a new jean, you’ve come to the right place.
This month on the Strategist, we’re covering all things jeans: not only the best jeans for tall women, best jeans for petite women, and best jeans for men in every style but what jeans are the teens wearing and celebrities can’t live without. We spent hours in front of dressing-room mirrors trying on every pair of jeans at retailers like the Gap and Madewell. We hunted down our denim-related white whales, including plus-size non-stretch styles and a good gray-washed option. We surveyed some of the most tasteful people we know about their favorite pairs. And in our obsessive, no-stone-wash-unturned way, we found hundreds of styles to add to our denim coverage. If we haven’t found the exact pair you’re looking for, well, we’re going to be answering your questions Ask the Strategist–style, too. Check back here daily — we’ll be adding every story we’ve written for the month as each one is published. Welcome to Jeans Month on the Strategist.
