While matching sweatsuits and soft leggings had their 15 minutes of fashion fame during life in lockdown, jeans — aka hard pants — are back, proving their sartorial resilience as a timeless closet staple. The classic garment is at the very the top of our shopping lists for the fall, and we’ve got our eyes out for the best jeans for women right now to upgrade our existing collections.

Of course, as far as denim is concerned, there are the heavy hitters (lookin’ at you, Levi’s) that are always a safe bet. But retailers like Everlane and Anthropologie have stepped up their game over the past few seasons, which means shoppers have more choice than ever before in the denim department. To help narrow down the search for the best pick of the bunch, we’ve sought the advice of shoppers who’ve doled out their stamps of approval in the form of stars and ratings. From a baggy Urban Outfitters pair with over 2k reviews to an under-$20 option that’s got shoppers racing to hit that “add to cart” button, we’ve rounded up 13 of the top-rated styles on the internet to get you closer to your perfect match.

AE Stretch Mom Jeans, $39.95

For the busy bodies among us, this pair of mid-weight, ankle-skimming jeans were made to move as you move. They’ve got just enough stretch for everyday comfort while being structured enough to maintain their shape. 

The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars and 385 reviews on ae.com
Best For: Mom jeans
What They’re Saying: “saying i’m IN LOVE with these jeans is an understatement… i honestly feel these jeans were MADE for me personally . These jeans are so comfortable and such a good fit i would wear these everyday if i could . 100% love and the material is perfect i have bigger than thighs than other people so i usually find myself ripping a hole in my jeans , and with AE JEANS i never EVER had that problem again !!! i’d consider these 25/8 !!” – Mady, American Eagle reviewer

BDG High-Waisted Baggy Jean, $69

If what Gen-Z says is true, it’s time to invest in a pair of non-skinny jeans. Considering this baggy pair has got over 2k rave reviews, it’s safe to say they’ve got all the fixings to become your new go-to.

The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 2,176 reviews on urbanoutfitters.com
Best For: Baggy jeans
What They’re Saying: “Amazing: these are the PERFECT baggy jeans, i’ve worn them a million times and would buy them in so many more colors if I could.” – green m., Urban Outfitters reviewer

Abercrombie 90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans, $71.20

ICYMI: Abercrombie is having a moment. What’s more, they’ve got jeans inspired by the best shapes and silhouettes of the ‘90s — a real golden era for denim.

The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 612 reviews on abercrombie.com
Best For: Vintage-inspired style
What They’re Saying: “When I tell you I have never had a pair of jeans fit me so perfectly, I’m not kidding. I have a smaller waist and wider hips, so it’s usually a one or the other deal with jeans. Either they fit my legs/butt and are big in the waist, or they fit my waist and are too tight in the legs. When I tell you these are perfect, I’m not exaggerating. Loose enough to not suffocate, don’t have to struggle to get them on, snug at all the right places, and the perfect length. I will be ordering them in every possible wash and style. I’ll swear by these for years, I’m sure.” – Camie, Abercrombie reviewer

H&M Wide High Ankle Jeans, $29.99

High waist, wide legs, raw edge hems. What more could you ask for out of a classic pair of jeans, other than the $30 price tag to boot?

The Hype: 4.1 out of 5 stars and 178 reviews on hm.com
Best For: Wide leg
What They’re Saying: “These jeans are everything. If you’re having a hard time giving up your skinny jeans or on the fence about making the switch to the more wide leg looser fitting jeans that are now popular… these are for you. These are a great starting point — both fit, style and price point wise. I have these and a few others in several colors and they look and fit absolutely great. Per usual with H&M, size up.” – Anonymous, H&M reviewer

Madewell Mid-Rise Perfect Vintage Jean, $128

For the past five years, successful shoppers have cited Madewell’s Perfect Vintage Jean as an unbeatable kind of denim find, so much so that the brand sells one every other minute. If you’ve got a shorter torso, this 1/2″ mid-rise version of the style is the one for you.

The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 27 reviews on madewell.com
Best For: Mid rise
What They’re Saying: “I have been WAITING for this!! i have a short torso and i am 5”1, so the perfect vintage never worked for me due to the high rise, even with the petite. Stovepipe used to be my favorite but now those are being made in higher rises:( the only option for a mid rise was a skinny, which i dont like, and cali demi. All i wanted was a straight leg option!! i hate how rises keep getting higher and higher, so thank you!!!.” – SA89726, Madewell reviewer

Good American Good Boy Long Twisted Slit, $165

For a trendy twist to your good ol’ high-waisted fit, consider this Good American option featuring very much of-the-minute slit front hems.

The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars and 46 reviews on goodamerican.com
Best For: On-trend style
What They’re Saying: “Soooo In Love! I’m 5’9 with a bootie and these jeans are my new favorite. Actually the best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. I will take great care of them and admire my body every time I put them in. Thanks for boosting my bootie & confidence to rock these jeans!” – Shanon A., Good American reviewer

Levi’s 725 High Rise Bootcut, $69.50

When I say jeans, you say Levi’s. That’s the name of the game in the world of denim. So the only thing that beats a classic pair from the brand is a pair that’s got lots of good reviews to boot.

The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 152 reviews on levi.com
Best For: Bootcut
What They’re Saying: “I love not having to constantly pull my jeans up like I need to do will all midrise jeans. Bootcut is also more flattering on my body type than skinnies or straight leg. The stretch is adequate to make the jeans form-fitting and not uncomfortable at the waist. Bought another pair!” – Chichi, Levi’s reviewer

Wit&Wisdom Ab-Solution Itty Bitty Bootcut Jeans, $78

Gen-Z wins again! This wide-leg pair of jeans has over 250 reviews from customers raving about the fun of a flared fit.

What They’re Saying: “My new go to brand of jeans. Soft, stretchy jean material. Fit good in all the right places – no gap in back like many other brands of jeans. Fit right on the hips but not low. For me this is a new brand that I love that fits my body type. For anybody who is picky about how jeans fit try this brand.” – NatA, Nordstrom Rack reviewer

Pilcro The Slim Boyfriend Jeans, $138

Because there’s no way we’re letting go of our skinnies just yet. These subtly slouchy jeans feature a narrower leg shape that looks like a pair of skinny jeans without actually feeling like one. 

The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 17 reviews on anthropologie.com
Best For: Skinny jeans
What They’re Saying: “My favorite jeans! These are hands down the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever owned…more comfy than leggings! The midrise is not too high and not too low, just perfect. I now own 5 pairs of pilcro jeans and am obsessed! These look so cute with my Maeve bright green striped sweater!” – GillsieSD, Anthropologie reviewer

Everlane The Way-High Jean, $88

There are high-rise jeans, and then there are where-did-my-belly-button-go jeans, and this premium organic cotton pair by Everlane belongs to the latter category. That means denim that accentuates your true waist while lengthening your legs. No wonder they’ve racked up over 1k reviews from some very happy shoppers. 

The Hype: 4.29 out of 5 stars and 1,029 reviews on everlane.com
