It’s no secret we love to take advantage of the once-a-year deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but one category we’re always particularly impressed by is the denim selection—after all, it’s rare that good denim goes on sale at all, let alone at prices this low.
Styles from Levi’s, Madewell, Good American, and more are at the top of our editors’ wish lists, especially since so many of the styles are cult-favorite options that we’ve been vying to try for years. From classic straight-leg jeans that we know will become our most-worn denim to trendy styles that are going to be the hottest thing to wear this fall, there’s a little something for everyone, no matter what your jean taste is.
You’ll never regret investing in a good pair of jeans, and now is absolutely the time to do so. These are the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale jeans our editors aren’t missing out on.
The Perfect Vintage Jean
These cult-favorite jeans have been one of the most coveted pair of denim for years now, and dare we say this is also an absolutely perfect wash. Trust us: They’re the jeans that will live at the top of your pants pile because you reach for them more than all the others.
White Wide-Leg Jeans
A white jean is a wardrobe essential, but this wide-leg twist on the staple makes them extra chic. With a tucked-in tee or blouse, they’ll make your legs look sky-high, and will look extra cool with heeled boots come fall.
Ankle Skinny Jeans
Whether or not they’re currently the jeans of the moment, a pair of skinny jeans is a necessity in everyone’s closet. These high-rise, ankle-cut ones are versatile enough to be the only pair you need, and high-quality enough to last you for years.
Ribcage Ankle Jeans
One of our editors’ all-time favorite jeans, the Levi’s Ribcage jeans have an extra-special place in our hearts. They’re the perfect width in the leg that makes them clearly straight (even on us fuller-thighed women), but not so loose that they veer into the wide-legged territory. Combined with the extra-high waist, they’re some of the most flattering jeans we’ve ever put on.
The Icon Skinny Jeans
When fall and winter come around and boots are the only shoes on our feet, a black pair of skinny jeans are an essential. As opposed to straight options, they tuck into boots seamlessly, resulting in a put-together look every time. The black hue also make them look a little more elevated for days you want to take your sweaters and jackets up a notch.
Wedgie High-Waist Jeans
Another Levi’s favorite, these vintage-looking Levi’s hold up to their name in that they make the booty pop more than any other jeans could even dream of. In a lighter wash, they give a casual-cool vibe that’s perfect for dressed-down days where you want to look effortless and feel easy-going.
Stretch Skinny Crop Jeans
One of our editors recently put these on and quite literally couldn’t stop talking about them. These jeans are pure magic in that they have lots of stretch for maximum comfort, but don’t get too stretched out throughout the day (you read that right, no saggy butts in sight). We don’t know how, but we’re not arguing, and are taking the opportunity to have an extra-comfy pair of jeans for days we’d rather be in leggings.
High-Waist Straight Jeans
Sustainable denim is known for costing a pretty penny, so those of us who prioritize ethically-made clothes can’t turn the incredible price of these down. These jeans have a relaxed fit and raw hem for a laid-back look, and are a cult-favorite for a reason.
Coated Jeans
Coated jeans constantly come in handy throughout the cooler months, and we’re obsessed with the rich, brown hue of these (just imagine them paired with a jewel-toned sweater). However, if you aren’t into the brown, they also come in a classic black pair that are worthy of many a fall OOTDs.
High-Waist Flare Jeans
Flare jeans are back on the rise (our middle school selves are rejoicing), so take this as a sign to get on top of the trend before all the good options are sold out. They’ll be an easy way to spice up your go-to outfits for fall in an ultra-chic way.
