Let’s talk about jeans. Specifically, the jeans that our editors can’t get enough of. From the perfect skinny fit to boyfriend denim that’s not too baggy, here are six pairs we’re obsessed with.
6 Pairs of Jeans Our Editors Can't Live Without

Mott & Bow
Mott & Bow ‘mom' Jean
“The mom jean from Mott & Bow is my fave because they have enough elastic where I don’t feel like my thighs are suffocating, but also have that classic denim look, and the high rise hits me at exactly the right spot—my belly button.” - Roberta Fiorito, Editor, News

Nordstrom
J Brand Maria High Waist Skinny Jeans
"My main requirement for skinny jeans: They have to be tight all the way down to the ankle. This pair does just that with the addition of a super-dark wash, perfect amount of stretch and a leg-lengthening high rise." - Brianna Lapolla, Commerce Editor
Madewell
Madewell Maternity Skinny Jeans
"Yes, these are maternity jeans, but pre- *and* post-baby, they are the most comfortable style ever. I've always loved Madewell denim, but I'm blown away by the fit—adjustable waist included—and how they've stayed in regular rotation even now that my infant is approaching six months. (Hey, we all can use a little give around the middle, right?)" - Rachel Bowie, Senior Editor, Special Projects
Nordstrom
Rag & Bone ‘the Dre' Slim-fit Boyfriend Jean
“First things first: The price. Would I rather not spend more than $200 on a single pair of jeans? Absolutely, but trust me when I say that these—and any jeans from Rag & Bone, really—are well worth it. They last forever and the quality is unbeatable. I love this style because it’s definitely got a boyfriend silhouette, but it’s not too baggy (especially in the butt area). This pair is also long enough that I can cuff them without having the cuff be just below my knee—a struggle any fellow tall gal can probably relate to.” - Sarah Stiefvater, Editor
Lucky Brand
Lucky Brand Plus-size Ginger Skinny Jean
“Not only did the jeans fit well, but they looked good—really good. My tushy, in particular, looked real great, if I do say so myself. As I looked in the mirror, I didn’t think about my stomach flopping over or the circumference of my arms. I just looked at me.” – Shelby Bartelstein, Head of Creative Development (read her whole review)
Buy them ($54)
J.Crew
J.crew 9-inch high-rise Toothpick Jean
“I love these for a few reasons: First, they’re high-waisted, so I can bend over to pick something up without the world saying, "Hello undies." The percentage of stretch in the jeans also means that even though they have a nine-inch rise, the top doesn't cut into my waist (always a high-waist jeans buzzkill). And those front buttons are actually so slimming—who knew that jeans' usual zipper placket was bulking me up? Obsessed.” - Dana Dickey, Senior Editor
