A Lot has been said about jeans this year, particularly with strong strike against skinny jeans (and side parts). As for me, my closet is bursting at the seams with an undisclosed amount of denim. Each and every pair of jeans holds a special place in my heart, but there’s just something about a straight-leg that hits differently.

The straight-leg silhouette is a comfortable classic, designed to sit high on your hips and drop straight down to the hem. Not only has this style stood the test of time and the coming and going of trends, but can also be effortlessly worn any time of the year. Make this silhouette your summer go-to by complementing your jeans with a simple tank and sneakers or slip into a strappy heel and a bra-like crop top to beat the heat. Keep scrolling to shop my favorite washes, fits and brands.

Light Wash jeans:

With the perfect amount of fading, the lighter washes have a well-loved, summertime feel. Find yourself a pair that fits you like a glove and you’ll find you can wear them with just about everything. Light wash jeans are distressed jeans, even when they’re not full of holes. They’re jeans that have been worn or washed until all the dye’s leaked out, which gives even an off-the-rack pair an aged feel. So embrace that by slashing them apart.

Long Denim jeans:

Here are some adjectives for jeans: baggy, pleated, tough, protective, mangled blue, defiant appeal, newest, blackest, homespun and blue, cut-off blue, long, well-worn, dear ungrateful, tattered, unwashed, dismissal discomfited, tightest white, offensive blue, ersatz twentieth-century, extremely baggy, bloody, dusty. Denim is very strong and does not snag or tear easily. It is also breathable, can be ironed at a high temperature and creases easily. Suitable for long wear, it is quite stiff when new, but softens with continued washing and wear.

Black Denim jeans:

Everyone needs a pair of vintage-inspired black jeans. The perfectly faded wash gives the denim a lived-in look like you’ve owned them for years. A pair of black jeans is considered well-dressed, but to the everyday rebels who keep questioning the state of things, who keep pushing to make this world a little better every day, it’s a mindset. Black denim is a way to differentiate yourself from the rest.

pleated pants:

Pleated pants are created by sewing folds (pleats) into the fabric and then attaching the waistband. Pleated pants are the older of the two styles and the more traditional. Flat-front pants, which have a contouring feature called a dart that allows for the pant fabric to lie flat, rotate in and out of style.
