Finding your perfect pair of jeans can be a never-ending saga. The fit and style have to be just right or they tend to live in a drawer and never see the light of day. Sometimes – even if you get the fit and size just right, you wear them for a couple of hours and they look like a completely different pair of jeans. Stretched, or even worse, saggy (and not in an international way).
A good pair of jeans is arguably one of the most important clothing garments you can have in your wardrobe. Jeans can easily take you from day to night and can accomplish almost any look you may be trying to achieve with their endless styling possibilities. This is why it’s so important to have at least one go-to pair! If you’ve yet to find your holy-grail pair of denim, don’t fret. We’ve rounded up some of the best places to shop for jeans. From affordable to high-end, you have options.

Good American
Size-inclusive denim? Yes, please. While shopping for jeans at Good American, you can find any style you’re looking for, from skinny to relaxed, all the way to patchwork denim. Half of the battle of finding your perfect jeans is finding jeans that are your perfect size. Since Good American carries sizes 00 to 26 and showcases each style of 3 different bodies, it helps avoid that annoying aspect of denim shopping!
Levi’s
When it comes to jeans, it doesn’t get more classic than Levi’s. Considering Levi Strauss alongside Jacob Davis, literally invented the blue jean in 1873. Levi’s has definitely come a long way since its origins, from once designing jeans solely for practicality – to now being a stylish staple in the world of denim. A crowd favourite is its 501 Jeans.
H&M
H&M has been upping its denim game! When it comes to finding quality jeans, H&M is one of the most affordable options out there. They have tons of different styles, ranging in price, but usually around the $50 mark. When you find the pair that fits you just right, you would never be able to tell that you got them at a bargain!
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch supplies some of the best jeans on the market in terms of style and fit – for both men and women.

AG Jeans
AG is all about helping you find the perfect jeans to complement your lifestyle! This premium denim brand has thoughtfully designed jeans with its customers in mind, and it shows.

Zara
If you’re on the hunt for good, fair-priced jeans, Zara has you covered. With its wide selection of trendy styles, you’re sure to find a suitable contender to be your perfect pair of jeans! One thing to note is that sizing is known to be a little… iffy. So, if you can, try them on in person, as finding your size online might involve some extra trial and error.
Citizens of Humanity
Some of the highest-quality denim can be found from the Los Angeles brand Citizens of Humanity! Its jean styles exude both femininity and sophistication, making it the perfect place to shop for your everyday pair of denim that you can trust to last you for years on end!
Aritzia
Not only does Aritzia carry a selection of premium denim lines like AGOLDE and Citizens of Humanity, but it also has its very own line known as Denim Forum, which should be on your radar if it isn’t already! There are plenty of different styles and even various lengths, making it easier to find your perfect size. The 90s Marlos are a crowd-fave.
Reformation
You’ve probably heard people rave about Reformations jeans since they have such a wide selection of high-quality, chic options! Its Cynthia High Rise Straight Jeans are a cult classic, even being worn by Kendall Jenner herself.
RE/DONE
If you’re looking for one-of-a-kind, luxury denim created from jeans that may have otherwise ended up in a landfill, RE/DONE is the place to look. Having launched in 2014 with the goal of taking something old and making it new again, the brand has since gained immense success and partnered with heritage denim brands like Levi’s and Hanes. These jeans are literally pieces of art.
DUER
At DUER, you can find jeans in various styles, from classic to trendy, all designed to perform. DUER’s jeans are crafted from plants and recycled materials – intended for “doers” to move comfortably from the bike lane to a boardroom, and maybe even for going drinks afterwards. All in a single pair of jeans!
Mavi
With over 30 years of experience, it’s safe to say that Mavi knows how to do jeans. The brand focuses on creating stylish denim that is made sustainably using the latest innovative technology. “Mavi’s vision has always been to create an exceptional pair of jeans, in both the fit and quality, using less water and energy.”, the brand states on its website. Make your next pair of jeans ones that you can feel good about wearing.
Gap
Never underestimate the power of a pair of Gap jeans! Gap is constantly adding new styles to its denim roster, staying on top of trends, while also always keeping classic styles in stock. Its jeans are usually around $100, but somehow seem to always be on sale (and we aren’t complaining)!
Madewell
If you’re looking to find your perfect pair of jeans, which we assume you are if you’ve made it this far, check out Madewell’s Fit Guide! It showcases all the jeans it carries, highlighting what styles you may like best. It has options both within a “standard” category as well as a “curvy” category to help you get your perfect fit according to your body type. Madewell also has 3 denim fabric options, so you can choose which stretch level suits you best.
