J.Crew does a lot right, and denim is definitely one of the brand’s standouts. These slim jeans are perfect if you’re looking to switch things up from all the wide-leg and barrel styles you might already own. They’ve got a little fray at the bottom, but not so much that it looks like you went at them with scissors.
“They hit right at my ankle, safely avoiding highwater territory—something I have PTSD about after growing up lanky and never being able to find jeans that fit. Thankfully, these come in petite, classic, and tall, so no matter your height, you’re covered,” says Balagam.
Sizes: 23-37 | Rise: High-rise | Inseam: 3 options | Material: 98% regenagri-certified cotton, 2% elastane
