The humble denim jean was once a staple of the working man’s wardrobe. However, with the emergence of the teenager and 1950’s counter culture, jeans were reclaimed as the ultimate ‘cool’ symbol by the likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando. Since then, jeans have become universally loved and reinvented.
Jeans are truly the wardrobe piece that never goes out of style and does with just about everything you own. We’ve scoured the internet to bring you some of the best jeans for women to shop.
