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.
