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.

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.
