Others are still around because they are universal. Buying a pair of jeans should be about good fit and comfort.

Higher-cut, normal-fitting jeans work for a lot of women and men. It is best to buy from departments that have several lengths and cuts, letting you find what works well for your body type, not the latest low-rise teen-jean on the market. If you choose flattering jeans that look and feel good, you’ll feel younger and more energetic. What more can be asked of our favorite “go to” article of clothing?
