The road to finding the perfect pair of jeans presents a paradox of sorts: While many of us could wax poetic about our most beloved pair, mere mention of the process of acquiring said jeans will, more often than not, conjure a slew of anxiety-ridden fitting room memories. And given the dizzying array of styles out there right now, finding a new favorite pair—one that will feel good and make for a great belfie—can be a daunting task.
So, on your quest for denim this fall, remember what has worked for you in the past, but don t be afraid to try something different. Die-hard skinny jeans devotees should shake things up in their wardrobes (change is good, after all) and try their hand at the season’s chicest flares. A flatteringly tight fit from the waist to the knee can have the same slimming effect, and comes with bonus leg-elongating and waist-whittling effects to boot. Long-legged ladies like model Karlie Kloss, on the other hand, can find denim salvation with 40-inch-inseam jeans (yes they exist!), like those by Frame Denim.
Whether long and lean, petite and curvy, apple or pear-shaped, finding your perfect denim match all over again just got that bit easier.
