I have always been a jeans lover. They are my most worn style of bottoms to wear so I have quite a large selection in my closet. I haven’t acquired them all recently but over the past 10+ years I like to add a new style each season. Even though I have a ton of jeans in my closet, there are a handful of styles that I reach for over and over. They fit the best, are easy to style and feel incredibly comfortable. I realize I haven’t done a post sharing my exact favorite pairs of jeans so I thought I would make a post that I can update over time if my selection of favorites change. For reference, I am 5’4″ but have very short legs and a long torso. How that translates into fit details is I need a high waisted style but with a short inseam. If I can’t find a short enough inseam, I will cut my jeans to make them a better length. I am fine with an undone hem but if you are not, just know that many of these jeans in my list are way too long for me in their natural form. Another fit detail is I prefer a wide leg or straight leg fit as I find them to be the most classic and timeless. And for size reference, I wear a 25 in my jeans and all the styles in this post run TTS for me.

My Favorite Pairs of Jeans

GAP High Rise Stride Wide-Leg Jeans

I haven’t purchased any GAP denim in a long time but after this pair, I think I need to! Compared to all the other styles in this list, these are the least high waisted style and fit closer to a mid rise on me because I have a longer torso. If you have a shorter torso, these will fit like a true high waisted jean. I love that there are various lengths to choose from and went with the petite option. These are stretchy and comfortable with a subtle wide leg fit. And the price point is very affordable especially if you can snag them on sale!

Grlfrnd Sara High Rise Straight Jeans

I call these my trouser jeans because they have a perfectly straight leg fit that gives the effect of a trouser. Once again they run long so I cut off a ton at the bottom and really prefer the frayed edge. These are a great classic style jean and one that will look timeless in your closet. This pair fits much slimmer throughout the hips so I still took my regular size but it definitely is tighter than some of the other washes. But because of this, they don’t stretch out as much and hold their shape really well.

Paige Anessa Jeans

I already own a pair of cropped Paige Anessa jeans that I’ve been wearing for the past few years because the fit is perfection. This pair is full length so I did have to cut them but the fit is still perfection. High waisted, wide leg but not too wide and there is amazing stretch to this particular pair. I have the Duke of York wash which is out of stock but there are a ton of other similar washes to choose from.

Aritzia Denim Forum Arlo Jeans

I have never tried any jeans from Aritzia before but the first pair I did became one of favorite styles of all time. This style is a simple high-waisted straight leg shape that fits like a dream. The length is perfect especially as someone who always has to get their jeans hemmed – no hemming was required with these.

Grlfrnd Brooklyn High Rise Jeans

The Brooklyn style by Grlfrnd tends to vary between wide leg and wider straight leg. I own this style in many washes as it is one of my all time favorite fits. All of the washes run VERY long so I had to cut off almost 4-5  inches on these so if you are tall, these will be perfect.

1. I love Dedcool Xtra Milk fragrance (it’s the perfect no fragrance fragrance) but really wanted to try Mochi Milk next. I ordered a roller ball size and will report back with my thoughts when it arrives.

2. With the warmer weather coming, I need pajama sets that will keep me cool at night. I have this print in a long sleeve/pants version and LOVE it, so I am going to order the shorts style next. (use code: MAREESYEFEB-15 to save)

3. Any reversible jackets are always on my radar because you basically get two jackets in one!

4. Sometimes I don’t want to carry around a huge bag and need something that only carries the essentials. I love the look of this small bucket bag.

5. How chic is this tank with the wrap hem?

6. I live for a boho printed blouse for spring/summer – it’s so easy to pair with jeans and cute sandals!!!

7. Polo shirts are trending for spring. Most never really appeal to me but this pastel one immediately caught my eye.

8. A simple chambray blouse is a closet staple for the warmer weather. I LOVE the way they styled this one with white jeans and neutral accessories.

9. My love for lady jackets and cardigans continue in the spring/summer with short sleeve versions. This crochet cardigan in the blue/white stripe is currently in my cart!

10. This straw bag has been on my wishlist for sooooo long. It’s the perfect summer tote.

12. I am loving these corded fish necklaces in a selection of rainbow colors. These would be so fun to style for summer. (use code: MAREE20 to save)

13. My skin has changed so much over the past few years and powder makeup products rarely work for anymore. But when I do find one that works, I have to share the good news. I have been testing this pressed powder for a few weeks and it has blown me away! So soft, blurring and doesn’t look dry or cakey on the skin. (use code: 10MAREE to save)

14. I forgot how much I LOVE this peptide moisturizer for my dry skin. It does wonders at helping support the skin barrier and makes my skin feel incredibly  nourished. (use code: MAREE15 to save)
