Ah, straight leg jeans.  I’m obsessed.

In January I shared my favorite straight leg jeans at all price points, and today I wanted to continue the convo by showing you how I style them.

These straight leg jeans are my hero pair.  Why do I love them so much?

  1. They’re SUPER comfortable.  No standing room only jeans.
  2. The cropped length gives you endless footwear options.
  3. The high rise isn’t too high, so you can easily tuck in shirts or wear more cropped length tops with them.
  4. They are 100% cotton.  They won’t stretch out, look baggy, and all of the washes they come in will be super high quality (you lose quality and wash variation when you add stretch to denim).
  5. They’re so versatile.  I can wear them running errands, playing with my daughter AND to a night on the town.

Today I styled them casually with my fave sneakers and vintage tee, but you can easily add boots and a cropped sweater for something dressier.  If you want to go even more elevated, I’d pair them with stilettos, a silk top and a leather jacket.

I’d stick to your normal size in these jeans.  If you are in between sizes, go with the smaller of the two.  This style is a staple pair for this brand so they continually make them season after season.  Shop the post below for some great sales on other washes!

What I’m Coveting

There was once a time when skinny jeans reigned supreme.  Thankfully for me, this time has come and gone.

While skinny jeans still have a place in my closet, I’m officially a straight leg jeans convert.

I’ve chatted before about my love of denim and the 2 pairs of jeans every woman needs.  A good pair of straight leg jeans should be one of them.

Not only are they on trend, but they:

  • Won’t stretch out like skinny jeans
  • Look much better with boots (no awkward tucking)
  • Are super flattering on all body types, especially if your hips are the widest part of your body (99% of women)
  • Are surpassing skinny jeans in the amount of washes and styles available

Here are my absolute favorite straight leg jeans, ranked by price.

This brand has SO many great options.  My favorites are these (wearing them here) but this style has quickly earned a cult following.  Just be forewarned, they are ULTRA high rise.  For a good middle-of-the-road style, these are a classic.

This brand is one of my favorites for straight leg jeans. I love the fit of these (I own them in 2 washes) and the distressed ones are super 90’s inspired.  The 90’s inspired pair also come in mid-rise and high-rise versions.

For cult favorites, try this brand and this brand.  Both are an investment but will last a lifetime.  I find these run TTS while I had to size up in these.
