A snob’s closet only needs five types of jeans that can take you from a casual day doing groceries to a fabulous night out for dancing and drinks. Whether you own fifty pairs or just these five, here are the ones you need. Inspired from a list in Instyle, here are our top picks and where you can get them!

Skinny These rock. I usually pair them with flats during the day or throw on some heels for a night out. You can even tuck them into a pair of boots when the weather chills down. Loose tops keep it casual, and form fitting blouses amplifies your sexiness factor. Women with narrow hips and thin legs look great in these. But if you have curves, give them a try also– you will be amazed at how flattering they are. Throw on a sexy belt that sits right at the hips for added glamour. I also love dark washes like deep indigo blue and black. These Stevie Skinny jeans below are awesome.

Flared Having slightly flared jeans help slim down your legs as well as elongate them. These are very versatile, as you can keep them short enough to wear with flats or long so you can party in your jeans wearing amazing platforms. These work for practically all body types. However, if you are shorter, it may make you look even shorter. Shorter people should avoid super flared looks. Darker washes tend to look more dressy as well as slim you down, and these look great with fitted tops. I love the Belle Flare Flap from JB and me.

Straight Leg This classic style can also be dressed up or down and complements women who have more narrow hips. If you have wider curves, keep the length long and pair them with heels. I personally love straight leg cuts with flats or dressy sandals. These Paige Hollywood jeans below are the perfect example of straight leg denim that you can easily dress up or down.

Workhorse This type of jeans mean your super soft and ultra durable pair that you lounge in. These are the pair that you would hate to part with and have broken in just right so that it has conformed to your shape. They are called the workhorse because you can wear them all the time for anything. These can withstand hiking, biking, gardening, or a crazy shopping trip. Find a pair that works for you, as it’s all about comfort with style. These Light Wash Dojo jeans are perfect to spend the weekend in.

Loose and dressy Dressy trouser jeans are fitted at the hips but allow comfortable room the rest of the way down. Darker washes that are of appropriate length can be worn even at the office. Usually made of thinner denim, they move with your body and definitely makes you look effortlessly put together. These Milano Trouser jeans look great. I especially love the hems at the bottom, which definitely make them more dressy. All body types work well with these type of jeans, and longer lengths with some platforms or heels elongate your body and make you look taller.

Remember, make sure these all fit you well and get them altered accordingly. Go for lasting denim that won’t lose it’s shape and hold up wear to even the worst beating. If you find a pair of jeans that you love, get two pairs so you can alter one to go with flats and another go with your fave heels. Denim lasts a lifetime, and with the right choices, you can make investments that will last you more than one season.
