From skinny to bootcut, low-rise to high-rise, and light wash to dark wash, the jeans at American Eagle cater to a wide variety of tastes and fits. We love that petite, tall, and plus-sizing is available, so you have a much better chance of finding your perfect fit. Another great perk is the brand’s trade-in deal: Send in any old pair of jeans (from any brand) for $10 off your next purchase.

The downsides: Free shipping is only available on orders over $75, and not all returns are free. And while the jeans are great quality, they’re a little pricey.

Love free shipping and free returns? If so, you’ll enjoy shopping online or in person at Old Navy. The store offers free shipping over $50 (which is a relatively easy limit to hit) and free returns on all online purchases, as long as you send them back within 30 days of receipt. Plus, this brand offers petite, tall and plus sizing and a decent variety of jean styles.

What could be improved: The Old Navy website (which is combined with the Gap and Athleta site) is sluggish. Shipping and returns can also take some time.

Why is Levi’s the best-selling jeans brand around the world? It’s primarily because of the brand’s status — Levi’s was the original maker of jeans. But it’s also because of the company’s jean variety and great customer service. We like that the online store offers free ground shipping and free returns if you sign up for an account. Plus, they have excellent variety for curvy and plus-sized figures.

However, some customers argue that the quality of Levi jeans has dipped in recent years, citing concerns about durability and longevity. Free ground shipping also takes more time than Levi’s paid shipping options.

If you hate trying on jeans in stores but need to try on a lot of pairs to get it right, consider shopping on Amazon. Shipping is fast and free with a Prime membership and so are returns. Plus, the wealth of customer reviews can help you vet different styles for quality.

On the other hand, the quality of Amazon jeans is hit or miss. You run the risk of counterfeit products because Amazon doesn’t vet its vendors. Plus, some vendors aren’t reliable and may not send you any products.

What’s great about Everlane: This store offers high-quality denim that’s built to last. It also has a range of unique jean styles that toe the line between classic and trendy. Buyers report that it’s easy to find styles that fit them well.

Though high quality, the jeans at Everlane are expensive. The store also doesn’t offer as many styles as American Eagle and Old Navy, and shipping and returns are not free.

If you like having a mix of classic and trendy jean styles in your wardrobe, Abercrombie & Fitch is the place to shop. This online and in-person retailer caters to a wide variety of tastes, and we love that every style of jeans is sold in short and tall inseams to help you find your perfect fit. Plus, it’s easy to sort through styles on the website.

However, the majority of styles are not curve friendly, and sizing tends to run small. Abercrombie & Fitch also doesn’t offer free shipping or free return shipping.

If you love finding deals and enjoy trying on jeans in person, we recommend checking out your local Marshalls. The store has a decent selection of jeans from a variety of brands, and it offers them at great prices because the items tend to be overstock. While it can be tricky to find your perfect pair, we find that Marshalls has a decent-enough selection to make the hunt worthwhile.

While Marshalls has a website, it isn’t the best place to shop online. It sells jeans from a wide variety of brands, which makes it difficult to find the right sizing on the website. It also isn’t consistent in the items it sells in person or online, given the nature of the store, and return shipping for online orders is expensive.

Why you’ll like shopping at Spanx for jeans: The brand specializes in high-quality, stretchy pull-on jeans in pull-on styles, so you can achieve your desired style without the discomfort. They also have excellent plus-size options and offer free shipping.

What you might not like: Spanx charges a fee on return shipping, and its jeans are expensive. It also doesn’t follow traditional jean sizing and instead uses XS to 3X sizing, which may make it more difficult to find your ideal size.

If you always struggle to find jeans that don’t fall down over your feet, try shopping at Gap. The retailer has always been a classic, go-to store for jeans, and its sizing has only gotten better with time. Gap sells every style of jeans in petite lengths (as well as regular and tall), and it has maternity options. We also like that you can easily sort items by fit, wash and rise, and that shipping and returns are free.

However, the Gap website is slow and frustrating at times. Shipping and returns can also get sluggish.

Love the look of everyday jeans but find them uncomfortable? Try a pair from the Duluth Trading Company. The retailer offers a decent variety of high-quality stretch jeans that won’t lose their shape after multiple wears. We love that they don’t feel too thin or too stretchy, either, and that they fit snugly at the waist rather than gaping at the back.

The downsides: The Duluth Trading Company doesn’t offer free shipping or free returns. It can also get pricey, and a few buyers find the styles a little uncomfortable and overly baggy at the inseam.

What we like about The Perfect Jean: All of their jeans are soft, stretchy and good quality. The company also offers inclusive sizing (up to a size 50 waistband), which is difficult to find for men over a certain height and weight. For the price, free shipping and free returns within 30 days, we think these jeans are a steal.

However, a few buyers noticed that the cut of certain jeans isn’t perfect. One customer also found that their jeans ripped within the first few months, though most buyers didn’t have this experience.

If you’re looking for structured, durable jeans that you can get dirty without feeling guilty, we recommend Dickies. The brand offers affordable jeans with a variety of fits and decent sizing options, so the pants are perfect for knock-around jobs or casual wear. A bonus: Returns are free as long as you send them back within 90 days.

On the other hand, the sizing isn’t as inclusive as other brands (many styles tap out at a size 38 waistband). In addition, some buyers have complained that the waistband sits too high. The brand also doesn’t offer free shipping.

Looking for jeans that are actually comfortable during pregnancy and postpartum? If so, consider Pink Blush. The brand specializes in maternity clothing, and their pull-on jeans come with an extremely stretchy waist panel that covers the entire abdomen (so you don’t have to worry about the fabric rolling down).

However, shipping is only free if you spend over $100, and Pink Blush deducts a $5 fee for shipping from returns. Pink Blush also doesn’t offer petite and tall sizing, though it does have cropped styles available. The sizing could be more inclusive as well.

If you have curves, one of the most difficult things about shopping for jeans is the dreaded gap at the back of the waistband. Fortunately, Judy Blue Jeans deals with this issue by using a high-quality stretch fabric and including a tummy control panel in all its jeans.

What could be improved: A lot of the items on the site are sold out, and Judy Blue Jeans can be a bit slow to restock. Certain styles are also less flattering than others depending on the cut, and the waistband sizing could be more inclusive.

If you thought you’d never wear jeans to the airport, think again. Aviator specializes in travel-friendly clothing, and its jeans are surprisingly comfortable on long plane rides. This is because they’re made with high-quality stretch fabric. We like that the brand specifies the weight of the jeans so you can get a sense for how thick and heavy they are. Perks: You can get jeans custom hemmed, and shipping and returns are free in the U.S.

Unfortunately, Aviator doesn’t offer petite or tall sizing, and the waistband sizing only goes up to 36. Jeans are also expensive.
