Men’s jeans we love

No other piece of clothing combines the versatility, durability, and effortless style of really great jeans. To find the best men’s jeans, we went down the denim rabbit hole, trying on 83 (!) pairs in person—looking for options that were flattering, comfortable, well constructed, and a good value for their price.

Ultimately, we landed on a few favorites, including a timeless straight-leg with outstanding quality, a slightly stretchy pair with a just-right slim leg, and a ’90s throwback with an easy fit.
