The end of summer has always been one of the most exciting times of the year. Soaking up the final days of blissful sunshine and bikini-wearing temperatures always feel nostalgic, and the first taste of the feeling of fall in the air is like the start of a whole new beginning.

Knowing whether a pair of jeans will be comfy enough to wear during lockdown or will end up being supremely uncomfortable can be hard. The number #1 thing for building a wardrobe is having good fitting jeans. First, you want to find the right rise for your body type and then the leg shape.

Consider high-rise, distressed and straight-leg jeans styles your new default.
