Living in a climate that sometimes beats the Arctic for low temperatures, being fully clothed is a must. I used to hate wearing jeans because they made me so stiff and cold when I went outside. Now, with jeans being so stretchy and less jean like per se, I love wearing them every season. I am not much of a shorts girl, preferring to be nice and warm in my pants. This way, I need a jean collection that can get me through all 4 seasons seamlessly.
The 5 Pairs of Jeans Every Girl Should Own
I’ve put together a list of the 5 pairs of jeans every girl should own. Jeans are so versatile, and with these 5, you’re guaranteed to be cute when it’s -30 and +30.
1. Blue Skinny Jean
I am a huge fan of skinny jeans. They are perfect for me because they can be rolled to ankle jeans, or can be easily tucked into boots for chilly weather. Everyone needs a good un-ripped pair of blue jeans. I like mine to be slightly darker, so I can wear them for slightly more formal occasions. These are my favourite pair of this style in my closet.
2. Black Jeans
I go through black jeans like no one I’ve ever met before. I wear them so much they tend to fade pretty fast, and I’m forced to buy a new pair. But I love them! I discussed how I realized that leggings cannot and should not be worn daily as pants in this post, and I feel like the black jeans are the perfect solution. I am able to wear black, while looking put together.
3. Light Jean with rips
As much as I am not the biggest fan of light colored jeans (I feel like they accentuate the wrong part of my body), I included them because when you find the right pair, they are awesome. I bought this boyfriend fit pair, but sized down 3 sizes to achieve a skinny like fit. They are perfect with a white top and you can even dress them up with heels!
4. White Jeans
If you think you can’t wear white jeans, my friend, you are wrong. I have some doubts myself, like how I can go a whole day without spilling something on them (because trust me, it has never happened), or if you can see right through them, but again, it’s all about the right pair. You need to find a pair that are thick enough to leave something to the imagination, and are the right fit for you. White jeans are somewhat of an oxymoron; you don’t want to spend tons of money on them because they are so easily stained. On the other hand, you can’t get a bad quality pair and have them show everything. I have a pair of ripped Citizens of Humanity and as amazing as they are, I need to invest in un-ripped as well.
5. Blue Skinny Jean with knee rips
Knee rips in jeans are my favourite kind of rips. I love the ones that are like someone took a knife and slashed one perfect line right on my knees. I am not a big fan of a ton of rips; when they go all the way up and down the leg, I think it’s a lot too much. Personal preference, but I won’t be caught in those any time soon.
And there you have it: The 5 pairs of jeans every girl should own. I am the first to admit that I have about 4 times this amount of jeans in my closet, but I am continually pulling these out day after day without fail. I must admit though, every pair in here is mid or high rise. It’s never cute to have a little bit of lace peaking out the back when you sit down.
Let me know what your can’t live without pair of jeans is in the comments!

Black jeans are my favorite and pretty much all I own. From high waist to ripped knees, to one black leg, one white leg, I pretty much live in black stretchy denim.
Victoria says
I totally agree! Black jeans are usually my go-to as well, they go with everything!

For some reason, I’ve never been a huge fan of jeans but I LOVE a good pair of white jeans and am so glad they made the list! I also think black jeans come in at a close second – especially during the colder months! Great picks!

I never used to be a huge fan either! I felt they took too much effort and were never very comfortable. Since they have started to come out with high rise and stretchy jeans, they are almost all I wear! Black and white are classics! There would be no list without them!

Love this post Victoria! Can you believe I don’t own a pair of black jeans? I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a pair of black ripped jeans before fall gets here.

Thank you! Black jeans are an absolute must! I can’t believe you’ve lasted this long without a pair! They are the perfect addition to your closet for fall, I definitely recommend you picking up a pair. Mine are from American Eagle but around this time I’m sure you can find them pretty much anywhere!
Thanks for stopping by!

Love this idea for a post! I definitely have more than 5 pairs of jeans (a bit of a denim-lover), but these are definitely good basics to make sure you have in your collection, regardless of the size.

I do love high waist jeans ! I find them much more comfortable. Although I do have a few in my closet I tend to wear the same one over and over again! Great picks!
