Sofia Richie Wore the $98 Jeans Fashion People Know Are Better Than Designer
Ask any true fashion girl for a list of their most prized sartorial possessions and nine times out of ten, one item on said list will be a pair of perfect 501 Levi's jeans. Maybe they were scored at a flea market in Paris or an IYKYK online vintage shop, or perhaps, they were bought new and personally worn in until they were stretched and softened to perfection. No matter where they were sourced or what form they were in when they were purchased, Levi's will always become a cherished and frequently worn wardrobe item, more so even than any pair of expensive, designer jeans.
For proof, see Sofia Richie Grainge's latest denim-clad outfit, which she posted to her Instagram on New Year's Eve. The newlywed who's recent wedding looks were all custom Chanel could have any pair of jeans she wanted, and yet, she chose ones that cost just $98. That's the power that Levi's 501 jeans hold over the fashion crowd. We're all smitten (and not fighting it either). With her oversize pair of light-wash 501s, Richie Grainge added a white Khaite tee and Bottega Veneta's celeb-favorite Andiamo bag in a soft shade of butter yellow.
Below, see what all the hype's about by shopping some of the best, most lauded Levi's available today. Or if you're already a loyal fan, double up on your favorite pairs. After all, there's no such thing as too much denim, especially when Levi's jeans are involved.

Looking back at '90s street-style pictures, you'll find actors, musicians, and off-duty models alike donning Levi's 501 jeans. These are a perfect way to recreate those iconic looks.
This ripped take on the '90s 501s allows you to snag jeans that look super worn in without any of the work.
Who needs to spend $300+ on jeans when pairs like this are just $98 and ready to buy?
I love how vintage these appear, despite being new jeans. They're kind of perfect.
If your jeans outfit is erring a bit too far on the casual side, try a darker wash. It'll dress up the look instantly.
The fit on these is second to none, which could explain why they're selling out lightning fast.
I just think it's so chic to wear white jeans all year long, especially in the winter.
If a skinnier fit is what you prefer, look no further than the 501 skinnies.
Though a newer style, the Baggy Dad Jean from Levi's is quickly growing a loyal fanbase in the fashion world.
These are giving serious Westerncore vibes and I'm 100% here for it.
I can't be the only person fully backing the '80s comeback. Everything from the era's just so good.
