How to Shop for Jeans

Oh I love a good pair of jeans. Truly. I’m a jeans girl at my core. As much as I love playing dress up every now and then, nothing seems to beat a solid pair of jeans that you can wear for any occasion. Who’s with me? BUT, as much as I love a good pair of jeans, I feel like finding the perfect pair is hard. I’ve had my fair share of trial and error and while we all come in different shapes and sizes, I think I’ve found three brands that truly offer the best variety for all of us. And you know I couldn’t keep this to myself.

Check out some of my favorite places to shop for jeans along with a few tips and items I have my eye on or currently have in my closet!

Madewell

Jessica introduced me to Madewell last year and they are now some of my favorite pairs I own. I’ll warn you, these are a little pricey (at least to me) but are so so worth it. Most pairs range from $90-$120. Again, to me, they are totally worth it and you only need a few pairs to complete your wardrobe. They offer a variety of styles from skinny to boyfriend to cropped and also have regular, petite, tall and curvy options which I love.

American Eagle

American Eagle is one of those brands that I loved shopping at in high school but then totally forgot about. Until recently. I popped in for shorts two seasons ago and now AE is my go-to for everything from boyfriend jeans and shorts to trendier white skinny jeans. They are affordable and offer great quality and my favorite part – they usually have some sort of sale or BOGO deal going on.

Topshop

Topshop is definitely my go to for trendier jeans. The price point is great but I definitely would suggest to size up. I’m a little curvy and text to go between sizes so I always size up just to be comfortable. I usually by on Nordstrom but you might find even more in store or on their site!
