We The Free Good Luck Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans
Barrel jeans definitely read 'cool girl' on their own, but a darker wash makes them even cooler. Dark wash jeans have such a subtle timelessness to them, so even your most casual ensembles will look chic. The best part about this particular pair is you'll look chic and simultaneously comfy since they're quite roomy with a looser fit.
Madewell
Madewell The Vintage Flare Jean
Madewell has totally mastered the art of the tailored jean, and this dark wash pair is the perfect example of how denim can still look polished. They're more snug on the hips and knees before flaring out just a bit at the bottom. If you're looking for dark wash jeans with a vintage vibe (to really tie the coloration together), look no further than these. Madewell offers this pair in regular, tall, and petite sizing so you can find your perfect fit.
Hollister
Hollister Low-Rise Dark Wash Baggy Jeans
Why bother with restrictive waistlines when you can rock these low-rise jeans with way more ease? What we love the most about this Hollister pair is they fit loosely (and feel like sweatpants, TBH) while still flattering the bod. They flaunt a slight flared leg, but it's not over-the-top. Beyond this sophisticated dark wash, you can also find them in light, medium, white, and black colors, some with various embroidered patterns, if you want a more playful pair. We also quite appreciate the wide size range of 000-20.
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean
These somewhat-stretchy jeans are fairly basic, but it's their clean detailing that make them stand out no matter how you style them. They are fitted through the hip and knee with a very slight, vintage-inspired flare along the rest of the legs. Overall, their relaxed silhouette is super easy to dress up or down. Major points for versatility! What's more is they're available in Abercrombie & Fitch's Curve Love sizing that accounts for extra room in the hips and thighs to flatter curvy body types (if you know the struggle, you know the struggle).
Nordstrom
Frame Long Le Slim Palazzo High Waist Wide Leg Jeans
This similar just has a wider leg, which sets them apart stylistically. They don't require any break-in time since they arrive super soft and stretchy, yet still structured. The high waist adds even more '70s influence. We'd wear these with a tastefully cropped top, boots, and a retro jacket.
