The best jeans for women are the pairs you want to live in: Ones you can wear over and over again, and that get better each time you slip into them.

They’re the styles that might be a small investment but have a large return and last for seasons to come. If you’re in the market for new denim , keep in mind that trends come and go, but classics are forever. A fresh and well-fitting pair of jeans is personal, whether you prefer to find a single, perfect silhouette and stick to it (à la Tonne Goodman’s stark white, straight-leg, non-stretch denim Levi’s) or keep a few favorites on rotation to switch up the wash or cut.

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a handful of foolproof, can’t-go-wrong silhouettes every woman should have in her wardrobe. For starters, consider a classic stovepipe or boot-cut jean (both of which can be dressed up or down). Then try a more relaxed fit, like a pair of wide-leg or ankle-length jeans for the weekend.

If you’re looking for something that’s comfort-first, you’ll find happiness in a baggy or relaxed-leg style. Regardless of your preferred style or shopping habits, sticking to simple, vintage-inspired washes with minimal (if any!) distressing is the way to go for added versatility. Of course, the hundreds of options on the market can still be daunting.
