It's Official: These Are the Best Cotton Jeans, Period

Okay, shopping for jeans is no easy feat. After all, the search for the perfect pair that looks and feels good can often be a process of trial and error, especially when you're on the hunt for the best cotton jeans on the market. While stretch-denim outfits have their place in the world (hello, long plane rides and road trips), every fashion person should have a pair of 95% or 100% cotton jeans in their wardrobe, if you ask us.
Considering the rise of vintage-inspired jeans, perhaps it's nostalgia that has us wanting to wear sturdier, more rigid denim. As the options continue to multiply, it can be exhausting trying to determine which pairs are worth investing in. We understand how overwhelming the denim market can be, so we took it upon ourselves to find stylish cotton jeans that are so good you'll want to keep them in your regular rotation. Scroll down to see the ones that we're loving.
We test-drove these jeans, and they ranked among our favorite pairs of all time.
