The rag & bone Dre Slim Boyfriend Jean is a popular style that combines the relaxed fit of boyfriend jeans with a slimmer, more tailored silhouette. It has a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh, with a slim (but not skinny) leg that tapers slightly towards the ankle. The inseam is usually around 30 inches, designed to hit at or just above the ankle when cuffed. These jeans are made from rag & bone's "Vintage Stretch" denim, which aims to replicate the look and feel of vintage jeans while incorporating modern stretch for added comfort. With a fabric composition of 99% cotton and 1% lycra, this blend delivers a soft, broken-in feel with just enough stretch to maintain shape and allow for easy movement.

Featuring a slouchy boyfriend silhouette, many women have praised the denim for its loose fit, comfort and look. Made from 100% cotton, without elastane or spandex, it has that soft feel unusual for pure cotton jeans.

The Tasso jeans undergo a stonewash treatment, which may vary slightly between pairs, giving each a unique character. They are available in a dark blue color, described as "midnight blue," which offers versatility for various outfit combinations. The denim also receives a medium to dark vintage treatment, enhancing the authentic look and feel of the jeans. They can be worn full-length, resting on the foot for a classic look, or can be styled in various ways to suit different occasions.

True to size, but still can size one down—these jeans are easy to slip right on, look slimming and make you feel confident. The material is soft, very stretchy and comfortable to walk around in. Not to mention that they wash fantastically as well. If you’re 5'8" and below—prepare to wear it with heels. Though, you’ll love the cuff.

We can all agree that we stopped scrolling to this part right here. What about PTCL’s Eden jeans that made us pause admiring this denim? Well, the obvious, standout appearance of the side slit adorned with bows on these jeans. With it being just below $50, the demand for this pair of jeans after this is even stronger.

True to its name, these jeans feature four pockets—two at the front and two at the back. While the pocket design includes logo hardware, this non-stretch denim contributes to a structured, aesthetic-pleasing fit. Equipped with belt loops, you can customize it with various belts for more styling options.

This loose and drapey silhouette is designed to be the most relaxed of Diesel's denim offerings with belt loops, a low crotch and extra-long and wide-leg features. With the combination of 64% cotton and 36% TENCEL™ Lyocell material, the result is a bold two-tone effect, visible fold lines and a non-stretch fabric that maintains the jeans' structured shape and distinctive appearance.

The pants feature several distinguishing elements such as a covered button fly, five belt loops, a five-pocket design, Balenciaga engraved flex buttons, and a Balenciaga jacron or inlaid patch at the back. Known to be one of the most popular fashion brands in the world, Balenciaga maintains its brand status using high-quality materials for these pants—including Italian indigo cotton denim, Japanese twill, and lightweight Japanese denim.

The jeans feature an oversized, rounded silhouette that even makes us question, “How do they do that?” Well, after perusing the web for an answer for weeks—we finally found it. The design incorporates twisted seams, creating an articulated leg and contributing to the jeans' distinctive circular-like shape. This unconventional cut results in a unique but relaxed, contemporary look, which can also be crowd-attention-grabbing if you put in your best-ever wardrobe on that day. One of the most striking features of these jeans is the logo-detailed crystal hotfix on the back pockets. This embellishment does add a touch of luxury and brand recognition to the design—so just be sure not to sit on any dirty chairs after getting this denim.

Known for its fusion of Italian luxury and Canadian casual charm, Dsquared2’s Dark Everyday Wash Traveller Jeans are premium denim that boasts a flared cut and wide-leg silhouette. As the name suggests, these jeans feature a Dark Everyday Wash, characterized by used detailing that gives them a worn-in appearance, which includes: whiskering effects for an authentic, lived-in look—and a lil’ bit of faded effect details that add to the vintage aesthetic.

With its loose-fit design and clear sequined denim fabric, which adds a sparkling, textured finish to the jeans—this sequin detail makes them an ideal choice for dressing up casual outfits or adding a touch of glamour to everyday wear. Machine washable, but it's recommended to wash with similar colors.

Levi's Low Loose Jeans are a modern take on Y2K-inspired denim, versatile enough for everyday wear. It is comfortable and soft, especially after breaking in. Despite the loose style, they are often described as flattering, particularly for those with larger thighs or hips.

The Japanese brand delivers a classic, vintage-inspired look with modern craftsmanship and attention to detail for this particular pair of jeans. These jeans are crafted from high-quality, mid-weight to heavy-weight non-stretch denim. The rigid nature of the fabric means that the jeans will soften and give with wear, molding to the wearer's body over time.

Often feature fading and subtle whiskering—the jeans’ minimalist, bold style is intended to accentuate your figure and boost confidence. The baggy profile and low-rise cut make them faultless for achieving a relaxed, off-duty look.

The oversized fit pants feature a red and burgundy degrade wash, multi-pocket detailing, an embroidered logo and a branded patch at the back. It’s 100% non-stretchy cotton denim, so you’ll rest assured that it’ll maintain its structured shape over time.
