As trends go by and the seasons change, the one constant that remains is our favorite pairs of jeans. Although denim comes in a wide variety of cuts, fits, and washes, it’s the one piece of clothing we can’t help but be picky about, especially if you’re in the market for a pair that doesn’t compromise on comfort. If you’re looking to add a new style to your denim rotation, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Levi’s. There’s a reason why Beyoncé has a song titled “Levii’s Jeans” on “Cowboy Carter.”

When we think of Levi’s, the first word that comes to mind is “classic,” (or now Beyoncé). For years the brand has dominated the denim game – we wouldn’t be surprised if your parents had a few pairs from their younger days still in their wardrobes. Whether it’s baggy jeans, something form-fitting like skinny or straight-cut jeans, or the perfect pair of vintage-looking denim, Levi’s delivers on the latest denim trends, as well as jeans that are dependable, timeless, and a true staple in our closets. Levi’s lineup of jeans is known for its flattering fits that accentuate the waistline and define curves – so much so that Beyoncé even references them as “ass hugging” in her new song.

We can’t really talk about Levi’s without mentioning the classic 501 jeans and its many iterations. Plus, the brand has other silhouettes that instantly became staples, like the Wedgie and the Ribcage, not to mention shorts and skirts. In short, there’s something for everyone; all you have to do is shop. No matter your denim style, every fashion-lover should have a pair of Levi’s jeans in their wardrobe, and these are our 12 favorites. Ahead, you can shop our editor-backed picks and embrace your Cowboy Carter era.
