There’s a lot of untraditional denim trending this spring, from voluminous barrel legs and dramatic flared silhouettes to controversial Canadian tuxedos. But despite our current obsession with denim maximalism, there’s one classic style that’s still in everyone’s wardrobe: Straight-leg jeans.

The simple silhouette has been a staple for decades, and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon—and Selena Gomez just proved why. The star wore her blue jeans with brown satin pumps, a see-through top, and the coolest puffer jacket, showing just how sleek the no-fuss jeans can be.

The versatile pants dress up with ease and work with everything, whether that’s a simple white T-shirt, sexy top, or a statement jacket. It’s why they’ve secured a permanent spot in every supermodel’s wardrobe, from Bella Hadid to Kendall Jenner to Cindy Crawford. Below, shop the eight straight-leg jeans I’m eyeing, including a $31 style, curve-flattering pair, and one that’s secretly sweatpants.

8 Straight-Leg Jeans for Spring

Madewell ’90s Straight Mid-Rise Jeans

I’m picky about denim, but Madewell’s jeans always exceed my expectations, which is why the brand’s ‘90s-inspired straight-legs are one of my top picks, especially while they’re 64 percent off. The style is made almost entirely from cotton, but features a touch of elastane (literally just one percent). Not only do shoppers say that the little bit of stretch helps make the durable, somewhat stiff jeans actually comfortable, but it also keeps them from losing their shape.

Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love Mid Rise 90s Straight Jeans

As someone with curves, getting the right fit on a straight-leg jean is tricky. In order for them to not grip my thighs, I have to size up, but, as fellow curvy girls know, the waist then gaps. These Abercrombie & Fitch jeans were made to eliminate that problem. The style is designed with extra room throughout the thighs and hips, with shoppers saying that the “very flattering” jeans “fit [them] like a glove” with zero gapping. These are available in sizes 23-38, five lengths, and 16 colors. 

Rag & Bone Miramar Relaxed Straight Leg Sweatpant Jeans

Rag & Bone combined the timeless straight-leg silhouette with a cotton-terry material designed to look like denim, and they immediately went viral. These sweatpant jeans are one of spring’s trendiest items, and after hearing multiple editors say that, in real life, they struggle to spot the difference between these (practically pajamas) and real jeans (famously not that comfortable), I’m completely sold.

A good pair of straight-leg jeans is something you’ll come back to year after year because the no-fuss silhouette looks good with everything. Below, shop even more of my top picks.
