8 Things Everyone Who Only Wears Jeans Knows Is True

The gospel according to denim

We’re saying it: jeans are the holy grail of fashion. They go with literally everything (even dresses, if recent runways are anything to go by) and are just so damn comfortable. Whether it’s a high-waisted straight leg style that takes your fancy or fit-and-flare, ‘70s-inspired piece, jeans are likely a staple in your wardrobe already.

But as anyone who basically lives in jeans can attest, there’s much more to the sturdy style than just a pair of pants. Sort of like the comfort food of clothes, a great pair of jeans can instantly heighten your confidence, make you feel even more beautiful than you already are, and be the perfect antidote to outfit indecision. They also make a pretty darn good base for experimenting with other, more extravagant pieces.  

Below, we’ve rounded up the 8 things that every jean loving girl knows to be true, from the versatility of ripped jeans to the perfection of coloured denim. Don’t pretend, you know you agree.
