I'm a denim expert – these are the only jeans I'm wearing for the rest of the year

As someone who shops for a living and wears jeans exclusively, I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a bit of a denim snob. I've tried every brand, style, fit, and wash you can think of, but no matter what, I always come back to one designer: Calvin Klein. So when I decided it was time for yet another wardrobe refresh, I looked to Calvin Klein for denim.

Here are the five jeans styles I finally decided on that will take me from summer to fall and through the end of the year – and all the reasons why I keep reaching for Calvin Klein again and again.

The Quality Is Unmatched

Craftsmanship isn't what it used to be, yet I'm always shocked to realize how many top brands are charging steep prices for denim made from synthetic materials. Calvin Klein's denim is still made from 100% cotton, so I can trust that the jeans will last more than one season, and it costs under $200. Best of all, the brand often runs promotions, so I rarely have to pay full price for this top-quality denim.

The Cultural Credibility Has Lasted Decades

It's fun to test out an up-and-coming designer or brand, but at the end of the day, I like to reach for what works. Calvin Klein is a known authority in the fashion space and has been beloved by celebrities, models, and It girls since its inception in the late 1970s. When I shop and wear Calvin Klein jeans, I like that I'm participating in a cultural moment that feels both on-trend and timeless.

The Broad Style Selection Offers Plenty of Variety

I think it's fun to dabble in more than one aesthetic. I like that Calvin Klein offers versatility. I can try out a pair of skinny jeans, wide-leg jeans, light-wash jeans, and dark-wash jeans, all from the same retailer. Calvin Klein also offers shorter lengths for more petite shoppers and nine sizes, so I never have to worry about finding a flattering fit.
