Since jeans work with everything in your closet, it’s important to have a hot pair of jeans that makes you look great and feel good. Having fit hundreds of bodies (of varying ages!) in jeans, I have some recommendations about who makes the best jeans out there. Although being fashion-forward and current is important, I advise a jean that can fit with minimal alterations and make a woman feel like a million bucks. I have a handful of denim lines that I can always count on - the ones that time after time have a 95 percent success rate in the dressing room, always fit a certain body type and make a woman look absolutely great. I call them my ‘go-to jeans’ that are truly the Best of the Best.

People come back to these brands for a reason. They are iconic. They fit most women and provide a range of styles for various body types and sizes. You may be familiar with most of these and you may be wondering why some lines didn’t make the cut. I looked at overall flattering styles where the pockets accentuated, or in some cases lifted, the butt and where the rise was sufficiently comfortable for a majority of women. The ones that last and provide superior denim and value made the cut.
