Can you ever have too many pairs of jeans? This former denim expert (seriously, it’s a title I earned working at American Eagle in my teens and early 20s) says no.

From skinny to wide leg, cropped to slouchy, I’ve tried nearly every style imaginable and don’t plan on cutting my denim habit any time soon. It’s true that since switching to working from home there’s less of an opportunity to wear my treasured jeans out and about, but that hasn’t stopped me from racking up a wish list of lust-worthy new styles for the season.
