ASOS Denim

Because ASOS have an innate ability to guess what you want to wear before you even know it yourself, this is our go-to site for new styles or washes. Flares? Yep, they’ve got loads of them, and are affordable enough that even after deciding you and bell bottoms aren’t BFF’s and put them on hold until the trend comes round again when you’ll probably give them another go, you and your wallet don’t care.  They also do great authentic knee-rips for when you can’t be bothered to distress your jeans yourself.

American Eagle

If you’re fed up of trying on jeans that aren’t true to size, can’t deal with annoying knee sag and find you have to wash your jeans all the god damn time in order for them to retain some semblance of shape, then you’re gonna love American Eagle denim. All the classic styles you could want, in a plethora of cool washes AND featuring high performance stretch technology that doesn’t bag, just acts like a second skin. Shop the jeans here

Paige Denim

Affectionately known as the ‘best butt’ jeans in town, Paige jeans are responsible for flattering an expansive amount of figures since the brands conception in 2004 (founder Paige Adams Geller was the most popular denim fit model in the bizz before she started the brand) and are still right up their on our tick list. We particularly like their ankle-scraping jeans, which show just the right amount of skin and are perf for summer. Shop the jeans here
