A WELL-FITTING PAIR OF JEANS IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF FASHION. EXPERTS SHARE HOW TO KEEP YOUR FAVORITE WARDROBE STAPLE IN TIP-TOP SHAPE FOR YEARS TO COME.
How to Buy
FIND YOUR FIT.
Select jeans that fit your waist and bottom. Don’t stress if they’re too long—a tailor can adjust the length.
TRY A TREND.
High-waist, straight-leg jeans look polished and surprisingly suit many body types.
CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC.
If you love to stretch, look for “comfort stretch”—it molds to your body but maintains the structure. Premium denim, which is higher quality and uses a thicker weave, generally lasts longer than cheaper denim, making the price worth it over time.
