5 essential pairs of jeans

I wear jeans a lot; ok so pretty much everyday; but I do mix them up and I now seem to have accumulated quite a few pairs over the years. I love them mainly because they are comfortable, but also because they can dressed up or down accordingly. 

 Given my jeans repertoire I thought I'd share with you the 5 pairs that I wear regularly and form the basis of my closet....


{1} Black skinny jeans. So classic and very chic. Need I say more?

Favourite picks: Zara; J Brand, Current Elliot.


{2} Boyfriend jeans. I admit I was apprehensive at first about Boyfriend jeans, but after I tried on my first pair I was hooked because they are so incredibly comfortable. They are perfect for running around on the weekend, but they can easily be dressed up with heels for a more glam look.

Favourite picks: 7 For All Mankind; Current Elliot; J Brand.


{3} White jeans. Parisian Chic cites white jeans as being an essential wardrobe item + confirms they should definitely not be limited to summer. In the cooler months pair them with a navy sweater + ballet flats for a classic, yet ultra chic look.

Favourite picks: Frame Denim; Citizens of Humanity; Blank Denim.


{4} Straight blue dark jeans. A good classic pair of straight dark blue jeans will take you everywhere. Pair with a blazer for a more tailored look or wear more casually with a t-shirt or sweater.

Favourite picks: Zara; J Brand; DL 1961.


{5} Distressed denim jeans. Another favourite of mine that are currently in high-rotation at the moment. I love taking style cues from Emmanulle Alt who looks fabulous in her distressed jeans, pairing them with a tailored blazer + t-shirt.

Favourite picks: Mother; Rag + Bone; Citizens of Humanity.


Am I alone in with my jeans obsession? How many pairs do you own?

    No, you are never alone hehe jeans are my trusted go to item for pretty much every occasion. Don't know exactly how many I have though, but I do know not enough : )
    Love all these jeans you've featured here but the only one I'm just not comfortable in are the white - 2 reason 1)I'd get them filthy and 2) my butt would look like Nicki Minaj. Great post!
    ps thanks for your kind words on Our Little Place, so exciting xx

    Great post Rachel! I'm actually admittedly very bad at wearing jeans... I rarely do and will wear more skinny black pants instead. Taking note of everything here :) xx

    Yeap, I think you nailed it with this list! I live in jeans, almost every single say you'll see me wearing them. And can you believe I still need to get a pair of white ones? On the list!

    This post is like my love. I am and have been since I can remember the biggest jeans fanatic. I own stacks. And I wear them constantly. Like uniform status. Nothing beats them.

    Great pictures - that pretty much sums up my jeans collection - I also bought a pastel pair (blush) in the spring and a deep tan in the autumn. As you say perfect for dressing up or down - I especially love the white jeans photo (a kind of winter look) and Parisian Chic is one of my favourite books - I reviewed it on my blog a while ago.

    Fab selection of jeans. Now I am a stay-at-home mother I tend to live in jeans so I have quite a few pairs. I really should get more creative with different colours and styles though as most of mine are just typical blue jeans.

    I loveeeeee jeans as well but find it SO hard to get a decent pair that I can just throw on all the time, you know? Out of these looks for ladies I think the boyfriend look is a winner! xx

    The only pair missing from my wardrobe is a pair of white jeans. Haven't found the perfect one yet.

    I really like that pair of boyfriend jeans. When they are too loose I'm not so fond of them but this particular design gets my approval.

    Love this round up Rachel--I still need the black jeans, right now I'm substituting a pair of cobalt ones, but it's on my list.

    I have too many pairs of jeans. I always wear a pair once and end up hating them! My new AG jeans finally seem like winners
