These Are the Best Brands to Shop for Denim

Denim is a year-round wardrobe staple for pretty much everyone. (Here are WWW HQ, you can pry our cutoffs, vintage high-waisted jeans, and perfectly worn in denim jackets off our cold, dead bodies, TYVM.) And while we love our brand-new denim dresses and Canadian tuxedo pieces, there’s no denying that denim only gets better as it ages, so we figured we’d bring you a guide to shopping classic good-quality jeans that’ll be in your closet for years to come. Whether you’re looking for a vintage vibe or seek a raw texture to break in over time, these are our go-to denim brands.

1. Levi's

2. AMO

No one does a raw hem quite like AMO—we’re talking everything from denim cutoffs to ankle-cropped, high-waisted kick flares.

3. Proenza Schouler PSWL

All our ’90s dreams came true when Proenza Schouler took their denim to the next level in its sister line, PSWL.

4. Re/Done

Re/Done creates true vintage masterpieces sourcing and reconstructing our age-old favorites.

5. 3x1

Via paperbag waists, ankle fringing, and tuxedo-stripe style, 3x1 thinks out of the box.

If you’re on the hunt for that perfect pair of ’70s flares, look no further than M.i.h.

Pocket placement is key, and few do it as well as Mother.
