How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans (And What to Wear With Them)

Finding a great pair of jeans is like finding a great friend—they're reliable, flattering, and make you feel like your best self. But with so many fits, washes, and brands out there, it can be tough to know where to start. We’re here to help you decode denim and find your perfect pair—plus a few outfit ideas to make styling effortless.


1. Start With the Fit That Feels Good

When you try on jeans, don’t just think about trends—think about how you feel when you wear them. A good pair should hug you in the right places, give you confidence, and move with you.

Here are a few favorite go-to styles:

  • Straight-Leg or Mom Jean: A little vintage, super flattering, and easy to dress up or down.

  • Wide-Leg or Trouser Jean: Great with a heel or platform sandal. They elongate the legs and look modern yet relaxed.

  • Crop Flares: A playful style that pairs perfectly with sneakers or ankle boots.


2. Brands We Trust (Because We Wear Them, Too)

  • Kut from the Kloth: These jeans are known for soft denim with just the right amount of stretch. Great for everyday wear and easy to dress up. 

  • Pistola: Trend-forward fits with cool-girl energy. Think clean lines, great washes, and unexpected details.

  • Warp + Weft: This brand blends sustainability with style—think inclusive sizing, eco-friendly production, and super comfy fits.


3. What to Wear With Your Jeans

Your jeans are the base—here’s how to build from there:

→ For a casual day out:
Pair crop flares with a tucked-in tee, layered with a cardigan or cropped jacket. Add sneakers or ankle boots.

→ For an effortless weekend look:
Go with straight-leg jeans, a slouchy sweater, and statement earrings. Throw on a pair of flats or low-heeled mules.

→ For something more polished:
Try wide-leg or trouser jeans with a fitted blouse or structured blazer. Add heeled sandals and a clutch for a chic dinner look.


4. A Few Tips to Keep in Mind

  • Always try on two sizes: denim stretches slightly over time.

  • If you find a style you love, get it in more than one wash. Trust us.
