Along with an amazing LBD, fantastic red lipstick, and sheer ruffled blouse, every woman needs at least one pair of flattering premium jeans. You know, a pair of jeans that look like they were made for her, in lush denim, a pair of jeans that can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a still-chic casual Friday. If you’re in the market for a new pair, I can help! Here are 7 pairs of premium jeans…

Looking for a pair of jeans with a big of an edge to them, something to wear with your biker boots or to give a little urban attitude to a frilly sheer blouse? These jeans feature a traditional skinny cut with zip-close side pockets, reinforced knees and zippers at the ankles. They’re available in black or mossy brown, ideal for layering with tunics or a cropped jacket… or that ruffled sheer blouse!

Skinny jeans may be all the rage, but they’re not as flattering to your feminine curves as bootleg cuts. This pair of jeans is supremely flattering, with long, lean legs and a slight boot cut at the end, in a gorgeous classic wash and five-pocket styling. I’d wear these with a vintage plaid or floral-print shirt and western-inspired boots and a braided leather cuff.

These inky black straight-leg jeans are ideal for dressing up for date night or a night out with the girls. They feature a classic five-pocket style, made of a slightly stretchy cotton/spandex blend. Pair with tall boots and your favorite sequined tunic for dress, or with a plain oversized tee and flats for weekend comfort.

These are my favorite pair of premium jeans, soft and flattering and oh-so-versatile. I wear them with everything, from my black Converse All-Star high tops, white oxford shirt and vest, to a pretty ruffled blouse and heels. They’re super-soft, and felt like they were worn in the first time I wore them.

I’ve often wondered which tall, skinny supermodel some jeans are made for — I mean who weighs 120 pounds, like me, but is four inches taller? It’s frustrating, which is why I adore Joe’s jeans. They’re made for real women, women who are not six feet tall and weigh 100 pounds. The knees fall in just the right place, and the cut is flattering… and they fit!

I love the contrasting stitching on these jeans, and the comfortable fit! They’re not quite boot cuts, not quite skinny jeans, more a combination of both! The inseam might be a little long for more petite women, but that’s what seamstresses are for, right?

Cropped skinny jeans? Why not? They’re a fun, flattering way to show off your curves and your favorite shoes! I’d wear these with cute clogs, with or without lacy anklets, and a cropped cardi or lacy tunic. These crops are just the right length, too… not too short, not too long.
With so many flattering, gorgeous premium jeans to choose from, in such a wide range or price points, the hard part won’t be finding a pair you love — it’ll be deciding which you love best! But try… which of these premium denims do you dig, and what would you wear with them? Do tell!
