18 Best Straight Leg Jeans and How to Style Them

Since Gen Z admitted that skinny jeans are out, the straight-leg jeans have taken the denim world by storm! This silhouette is classic and comfortable and to be quite honest, I now prefer them over my skinny jeans. I mean, they just hit different and I always feel so chic when wearing them! I couldn’t picture my closet with this staple. In this post, I’m sharing the “14 Best Straight Leg Jeans and How to Style Them”.

Best Straight Leg Jeans

When shopping for straight-leg jeans, you want to make sure you’re picking the cut that works best for your body type. My problem area is my mid-section so I find that sometimes the super high-rise jeans actually don’t look great on me. I love a good mid-rise fit but am sharing all the options for every body type and price point below!

Light Wash Denim

With its perfect faded effortless look, light wash denim is an all-time favorite. There is a certain summertime feel when wearing these so I’m sharing my top picks below:

Dark Wash + Black Denim

When I think of dark wash and black denim, all the fall vibes start pouring in. Pair these babies with a sweater and booties and you’ll be looking like a snack attack this season! Sharing my top picks below:

Distressed Denim

There’s a certain cool-girl vibe that comes with a pair of distressed denim. They look great paired with heels and a chic top for a night on the town. They also look great paired with sneakers and a tee for an everyday look. Sharing my top picks below:
