I'm a Fashion Director With a Lot of Jeans—I Wear These Styles the Most
Jeans are often the front-runners in a well-balanced wardrobe given their versatile and easy-to-style nature.

Cropped Flare Jeans
"I have been loving the cropped flare style lately! Perfect for an off-duty day, the minimalistic and classic design makes for a casual spring 'fit. Pair them with an easy slide-on sandal and you have a polished yet practical look."
'90s-Inspired Jeans
"The '90s are back. Rigid wash, higher waist, and fuller lengths from the waist down are both a comfortable and chic way to wear denim. This style has become a must-have staple in my wardrobe this season. Style them with a pair of lace-up Converse or pull-on Chelsea boots and you are good to go."
Loose Jeans
"I absolutely love the comfy, tailored drop styles we are seeing this season. From harem pants to carrot-shaped legs, this fit prioritizes comfort without taking away any style. Paired with a favorite T-shirt, oversize sunnies, and easy slides, these jeans create an effortless look for the warmer months ahead."
Statement Jeans
"Round out your weekend rotation with the perfect pair of statement denim! Think topsy-turvy tailoring, exaggerated frayed hems, vibrant washes, and enhanced detailing. These eye-catching styles are sure to stand out this spring."
Denim Overalls and Jumpsuits
"Denim jumpsuits are spring's no-brainer—requiring minimal effort and delivering a major cool factor. Add a few simple accessories, a classic tee, and sneakers to the mix and you have yourself an easy outfit for a warm weekend getaway."
