I Never Wear Jeans Anymore—16 Shockingly Comfortable Basics I'm Reaching For Instead


Here's a wild confession: I don't own a pair of jeans. They've always rubbed me the wrong way (literally), and I decided life is too short for uncomfortable pants.

Well, the fashion gods must have heard my prayers because I recently found some pieces from Vuori that are just what I need.
