When a new season rolls around, I always like to take stock of my closet and purchase a few new pieces I know I’ll wear on repeat. The wardrobe staple I always come back to….? DENIM. Yep, having a few well-fitting pairs of jeans is so essential, especially during the fall and winter seasons. I’m basically reaching for a pair of jeans every single day once the temps start to drop.
The downside? It actually is so hard to find a pair of jeans that you LOVE, and I know I’m not alone on this! With the endless amounts of different styles, sizing irregularities, and prices from low to (really) high, it basically feels like you’ll never find that perfect pair. That’s why I put together my full, foolproof denim guide featuring my favorite jeans for the season. And spoiler alert… they’re all from Abercrombie, and all under $100, which we love!
Let’s dive into all of my faves!
The Denim Guide
High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean (33L, wearing light distressed) – My fave style!
The High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean is hands-down my favorite style. It’s fitted at the waist for that snatched look, but has a classic straight fit that makes it the perfect pair of everyday jeans. They remind me of the old-school Abercrombie denim we all loved, only better because of the high-waisted cut. One thing to note—they do run a little smaller in the waist, so if you’re in between sizes I’d recommend sizing up.
Low Rise Loose Jean (33L, wearing medium)
The Low Rise Loose Jean is SUCH a good pair of denim. It basically feels like that ultra-baggy, trendy fit everyone’s wearing, yet still has some structure, making them even more flattering. Even though the name says low rise, they actually sit just below my belly button—not the classic low rise we all remember. I love how versatile they are: casual with flats or sneakers during the day, and easy to dress up with heels at night. They are the perfect comfy, versatile jeans you’ll be reaching for pretty much all of the time.
High Rise Wide Leg Jean (33L, black)
If you loved a snatched waist situation, these wide-leg jeans are for you! I love these jeans for bodysuits or super cropped tops as the high-waist gives you some coverage. The wide leg fit is especially great on thicker thighs since it gives a really slimming and elongating look!
Ultra Wide Leg Jean (33, ecru linen)
Last but not least, I had to include these ultra-wide leg jeans. First off, they are SO soft, and while they come in a traditional blue wash, I love the ecru color (all about a winter whites moment!). They are fitted at the waist but flow wide through the hips and legs, which makes them both flattering and comfortable. But take a note, these do stretch out a bit so I’d recommend sizing down, especially if you are in between sizes.
I hope this denim roundup was helpful and can give you a few pairs to try out this fall and winter! I’m always trying out new brands and styles so make sure to follow me on LTK where I share all of my favorites and flattering finds first. Happy shopping!
