After a year of the epidemic, denim anxiety was becoming a problem. Jeans had become “hard pants,” and wearing anything with a zipper seemed impossible. TikTokers then deceived everyone over the age of 25 by labeling thin jeans “old.” So, if you’re fearfully examining your worn-out jeans in preparation for leaving the house this year, listen up. From professional cuts to casual weekend pairs, we’ve gathered the greatest new versions of our favorite jeans (including skinnies and elastic waistbands). So get rid of those sweatpants (no, honestly, stop wearing them!) and add a handful of these pairs to your cart right now.
1. 90s Comfort Stretch High-Rise Ankle Crop Skinny Jeans
No, skinny jeans aren’t “out,” but your current pair is in desperate need of a makeover. Re/Done jeans are cool since they’re created from old stock and have a worn-in look.
2. Loose Straight High Jeans
We prefer to wear these jeans around the home with a concert top and fur-lined Birkenstocks as a more edgy alternative to sweatpants and slippers.
3. 90s Pinch-Waist Distressed Jeans
For good reason, these grunge-style jeans have a cult following. They’re adaptable and, let’s face it, they look fantastic from behind.
4. Le Italien High Waist Flare Jeans
Flared jeans are making a comeback, in case you hadn’t noticed. The Italian-made Frame pair will show you why (flattering!). Legs are lengthened!
Looks fantastic in heels!).
5. The Ziggy High Rise Rigid Relaxed
A pale pink pair of jeans will brighten up even the most basic ensemble; the color is unexpected but goes with everything.
