Luckily, our editors have done the legwork to bring you the perfect pairs on the market. Whether you are a straight leg type of girl or prefer a super stretch skinny, we have found the best of the best, no matter what your ideal fit and criteria entail.

They are so comfy and look super stylish. You can wear them with flats or dress them up in heels. Either way, you still look fab. What can I say, I am unexpectedly impressed!"-Marina Budarina-Sanchez, Deputy Chief of Reporters

$141 (Originally $235) Frame Denim SHOP IT Opens a new window

"Anything oversized has my name written all over it, especially a great pair of jeans. These oversized straight-leg Frame jeans make the perfect white pair. A jean that fits a little oversized is ideal for those hot summer days when all you want to do is wear something loose fitting and the wide turn-up hem perfectly showcases your fav summer sandals. I call that a win-win." - Jenna Pizzuta, Fashion Assistant
