Most people will agree that the winter fashion uniform is a turtleneck tucked into a pair of easygoing jeans, styled with sleek ankle boots. As soon as we get home, however, we strip off our rigid jeans for something more comfortable like sweatpants. It's inevitable: Lounging on the couch watching Netflix is simply less comfortable when wearing rigid denim. In reality, however, you really can have the best of both worlds—non-rigid jeans with enough stretch in them are the ideal combination of stylish and comfortable.
But finding the perfect stretch jeans? Not always the easiest. You see, some jeans are too stretchy and resemble leggings more than they do actual denim, while on the other hand, some jeans barely have enough give to be considered legitimately comfy. It's a fine line, really. So as we get to the heart of winter and the fashion-girl uniform of stretch jeans and a turtleneck grows ubiquitous, we've done you the favor of rounding up the seven best stretch jean brands so you know exactly where to turn for your next denim purchase. All you need now is a turtleneck.
Good American
Good American jeans are designed to fit every woman of every size, and that's exactly what they do. Customer reviews always mention the brand's stretch and consequent great fit, making them a favorite among girls everywhere.
Paige
Paige's new Transcend fabric is specifically designed for a buttery feel that forms to your body. Made with rayon and spandex, these jeans are guaranteed to be your stretchiest pair yet.
H&M
Made with Elastane, H&M comes in with a (perhaps surprising) win in the stretchy jeans department. Not to mention they're totally affordable, adding to their desirability. Feel free to kick back on the nearest couch.
AG
AG produces two unique fabrics for their most comfortable jeans: stretch and super-stretch. It doesn't get more obvious than that, nor more appealing, if you ask us.
Agolde
Agolde has a Feel Good Collection of jeans, and we definitely feel good about that. With stretch denim and oversize, loose styles, there's a reason this brand is a fashion-girl favorite.
J Brand
The reviews on J Brand jeans couldn't be better, with each one citing the amazing fit and comfort that their iconic stretchy styles bring. That's enough to sell us, especially consider J Brand also knows how to make a particularly stylish jean.
Grlfrnd
Grlfrnd denim puts the word "stretch" in some of its most comfortable styles, making shopping much easier. From skinny jeans to pairs with cool cutouts, they're the definition of stylish comfort.
