Levi’s 501 ’90s Jeans in In Love With You

Was $159.95, now $119.96

“I’m a big fan of Levi’s, and the 501 ’90s are my current favourite pair of classic blue jeans. I’ve owned and loved many Levi’s styles (including the Wedgies and Ribcages), but I find the 501 ’90s the most comfortable thanks to the mid-rise and loose, straight leg. They’re slouchier than the classic 501s (which is why many people have compared them to vintage Levi’s without hours spent searching through op shops), and the wash is the perfect shade of denim blue, in my opinion. I also like my denim to feel thick and ideally be made of 100 per cent cotton, so these tick those boxes.” – Jess

Witchery Wide Leg Jean

Grab it for $149

“As someone who owns almost every style of Levi’s jeans, I’ve recently discovered Witchery denim and I think I’ve converted (sorry to my Ribcage, Baggy Dad, and Wedgie Straight jeans). I own a few pairs now, but the ones I can’t stop wearing are the Wide Leg Jeans – they’re 100 per cent cotton, and the denim is super soft. The fit is perfect for boots, ballet flats and heels, and they’re super comfy, no annoying wedgies in sight.” – Carina

AfendsRollas Sailor Jeans

“As someone with disproportionately long legs, I really struggle to find pants that don’t look cropped or swallow my entire torso. I also really value natural fibres, especially in jeans. I am yet to find a pair of jeans that are versatile enough to own in multiple colours; however, there is one brand I can’t go past. Afends, a sustainable Aussie brand, makes 100 per cent organic cotton and hemp jeans that are incredibly comfortable, get softer with time and let your skin breathe. I own three pairs in different cuts and find they fit super well. I also love the Rollas Sailor jeans, though they are a bit on the shorter side.” – Suki

Mother The Lemon Twist Sneak Jeans

Was $479, now $359.25

“I recently got some jeans from Mother in a sale and they are very flattering. I also like the Aje looser denim pant ones as they’re less fitted and have a gathered waist but you can dress both up and down.” – Sarah

Good American Good Legs Straight Jeans

Was $180, now $126

“Admittedly, I was swayed by the Kardashian name to buy these, but let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised when I put these on. Khloe Kardashian’s Good American brand is just that: really damn good! These are the comfiest jeans and although I bought them online, the size guide and pictures are detailed and really helpful. Not only do they look good, they’re super stylish, fit like a glove, and are high quality, but have so much stretch in them. Love them! And I never thought I’d be saying that about a pair of jeans” – Chloe

Levi’s ’94 Baggy Jeans

Buy now for $119.95

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: these Levi’s ’94 Baggy Jeans are the ultimate baggy jeans! They truly have that vintage feel, offering the perfect amount of bagginess while still giving you shape. I actually sized up in these, and it makes them sit perfectly on my hips. I probably wear these jeans two to three times a week because they’re so versatile. I can easily style them up with heels or dress them down with sneakers. Plus, they’re incredibly soft, comfortable, and chic. And I always feel like a cool girl when I’m wearing them!” – Mia

Abrand Jeans 94 High & Wide Eva Organic

Yours for $139.95

“These Abrand 94 High & Wide jeans are so so comfy, and they’re a great pair for a tall girl like myself. A lot of the time, if I buy jeans from a generic place like Kmart, they are never long enough, and I end up with my ankles fully out (which is so embarrassing). And if I try to size up for length, they’re too big for my waist and just look silly again! These jeans fit my waist really well, and I rarely have to wear a belt with them. They also strike a great balance; they’re not skinny jeans, but they’re not crazy wide flares either!” – Phoebe
