Sally Kaplan/Insider I’ve been a style editor for 7-ish years and I’ve tested dozens of denim brands. Everlane is my go-to for jeans because its affordable, the styles are cute, and the jeans fit well. Good jeans can feel impossible to shop for.
Trying new brands is always a total crapshoot, and it can be really hard to get the fit right when the same size is so different from brand to brand. I’ve tested jeans from probably 50 brands over my 7-ish years as a style editor, but there are only a handful of places that I buy my jeans from now. I get a lot of questions from my friends about where they should buy jeans, and Everlane is always the place I send them.
Good jeans don’t need to cost a lot, and Everlane’s pricing is extremely fair. Pairs range from $68 to $118 for its core collection, with the stretchy blends being less expensive and the 100% cotton, no-stretch pairs costing a bit more. Plus, any order over $75 gets free shipping, so most pairs will help you meet the cutoff.
When you’re buying luxury or designer brands, you’re rarely purchasing better quality or more durable fabric — you’re just getting more modern fits and maybe some name-brand cred. I’ve purchased from brands like Citizens of Humanity ($200+ per pair) and the quality is almost identical to Everlane thanks to similar fabric weights and seam construction. Besides the fact that its jeans are a good value, Everlane constantly releases new cuts to meet demand for popular trends, so there are always plenty of trendy styles to choose from.
Here are some of my favorite styles: The Rigid Slouch JeansSally Kaplan/InsiderThis pair has no stretch, but the fit is a little looser so I don’t feel like I’m a sausage being stuffed into its casing. I love the slightly distressed look of the Broken-In Blue color and weighty feel of the denim. The thickness is really nice for cooler weather with boots and chunky sweaters, but the light shade means they’re also easy to wear in the summer (if you’re spending your day in the AC).
Sizing: I usually wear a size 10-12 (or 21/32 depending on the brand) and I wear a 31 in these. I have to cuff them to get the right length, but I think they look the best that way. The Way-High JeansSally Kaplan/InsiderThe black pair of these Way-High jeans are one of my year-round staples.
When Everlane named these, they weren’t kidding — I’m just over 5 feet tall and the waistband comes up very high on me. That said, the little bit of stretch and give to these pants makes them one of the few high-waisted pairs that are truly comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I also have these in the Ecru color, but there’s less stretch in them so they’re a little less comfy in my opinion.
Sizing: I also wear a size 31 in this pair. They come in two inseam lengths, but I had to cuff mine regardless. The bottom lineI know I’m not the only one on my team who feels this way about Everlane’s jeans.
A lot of us rely on the brand for dependable styles that last. You might need to order two sizes and return one if you don’t know your size from Everlane yet, but once you figure it out, you’ll find that it’ll remain pretty consistent from style to style. Shop all Everlane denim here.
