My Stylish Friends Recommend Everlane Jeans, So I Put 4 Pairs to the Test

Save for the hottest of heatwave moments, I wear jeans at least five days a week. Whilst I may adore denim, I’m well aware that the idea of hunting down the perfect pair can induce a visceral reaction for many. We’ve all been there, dancing around trying to squeeze into a pair of ill-fitting denim in a starkly lit changing room. It’s got to be the least appealing shopping experience of all, and some even forgo jeans altogether just to avoid it. That’s why I like to put these denim staples to the test, giving insight into the fit, the stretch, the silhouette and the sizing to make the process that much easier.

The versatility of denim is what makes it such a hero piece within our wardrobes. On days when I stand infront of my wardrobe attempting to conjure up an outfit and it won’t form, I turn to my classics of a white T-shirt and wide-leg jeans. When spontaneous drinks dates occur I grab my favourite black straight-leg pair, add some boots and a bold lip and I’m out the door. Even when I’m running out to get milk from the shop I often swap my striped linen trousers for a pair of well-fitting blues just to feel a little more put-together.

In my exploration to put the best denim jeans to the test I’ve tried on high street heroes, explored new cuts, and this time I’ve taken to recommendations. I put a call out on a group chat for the best pair of jeans, and two replies read ‘Everlane!’. It’s a brand I’m well aware of that our readers often sing the praises of for high-quality staples like excellent shirts and sleek tailoring at reasonable prices. So, I put in an order to put the best Everlane jeans to the test, from a classic straight-leg silhouette to a contemporary wide-leg style.
