Looking for the best women’s jeans you can get in 2023? Then you’ve come to the right place. Finding a good pair of jeans should be easy, but it isn’t one size fits all. Our body shapes vary hugely, so what works well for one person can be completely wrong for another. There are so many factors to take into consideration. Take torso length for example; I have a friend who has a long torso, so she has to find trousers with a longer crotch to account for that. This is something I’ve never even noticed on myself, but my issue is that awful gape at the back of jeans. My jeans are always tight on the thigh, and loose at the waist.

That’s why everyone – myself included – hates buying jeans so much. Trying them on is a faff, and it can feel draining too when they don’t fit well, look unflattering or end up being super uncomfortable. But it isn’t all doom and gloom. There are some really incredible jeans brands out there, and with a little bit of effort, you can find an excellent pair that work perfectly for your body. Once you’ve found them, never let them go. In fact, it’s probably worth buying them a few times over and taking really good care of them so they last longer. Check out our article on how often you should be washing your jeans for our best tips.

So let’s get into it. I’ve been on the hunt for the best jeans you can get in 2023, and I’m sharing them with you here. If you’re looking for decent jeans for a man in your life, we also have a great article on the best men’s jeans too.

Sustainable denim

The Standard Jeans, £125, Asket – buy now

Asket is a brand with a conscience. Every item is made to last, so instead of trending items, they’re timeless, good quality and essential to your wardrobe. This ‘standard’ pair of jeans do what they say on the tin, but they’ll last you a long, long time.

Light Blue Match Boyfriend Jean, £300, E.L.V. Denim – buy now

E.L.V. Denim create all their pieces from 100% upcycled materials and they only work with skilled local workers in the British capital to design and produce their items – hence the name, which stands for East London Vintage. The brand’s jeans aren’t cheap, but you can find them on plenty of discount websites like The Outnet and Anthropologie’s sale section.

Straight Sally Everblack, £195, Nudie Jeans – buy now

Every pair of Nudie jeans are made from 100% organic cotton, but that isn’t the best part. Every pair comes with a promise of free repairs – forever. That price doesn’t seem so high now, does it? This classic pair of black jeans will go with absolutely everything, but if you prefer blue denim, they have plenty of that too.

Budget jeans

Wide High Jeans, £24.99, H&M – buy now

If you’re on a budget, H&M should be the first place you go to buy a new pair of jeans. They have a huge variety of pairs to choose from, including straight, baggy, skinny, wide leg, bootcut, flared and more, and they offer plus-size and maternity options too. At that price, this high-rise pair of loose-fitting jeans are going straight in my basket.

Yoko high waist wide off-white jeans, £40, Monki – buy now

As Monki is an H&M-owned brand, it makes sense that their jeans would be similarly affordable. However Monki’s jeans are often a little more fun than H&M’s, with patterns and colours galore. That said, they offer plenty of simple and effortless pairs, like this off-white pair for £40.

Black Cargo Jeans, £34.99, New Look – buy now

New Look is another underdog when it comes to denim. The high street brand has almost 250 styles to choose from and cater to plus size, petite, tall and maternity fits. This pair kill two birds with one stone; we all know cargo pants are very much in, but these definitely count as jeans.

Investment jeans

Buying less, but better? Instead of spending the same amount on five pairs of average jeans, why not make a well-considered jeans purchase? The below pairs might be on the expensive side, but if you tot up the cost per wear, you might find they’re worth it.
