      I’ve had a lengthy and intricate relationship with jeans. With my hourglass shape and standing at 5'6", finding a pair that fits well—across the waist, hips, and length—has never been simple. However, this year marked a change. After trying on more styles than I care to confess, I’ve finally discovered the cuts that genuinely work for me; those that maintain their shape, fit comfortably at the waist, and don’t sag when I move. They have become the top favorites in my closet, and I grab them without a second thought. If you're on the hunt for your own dependable pair, these are the ones that are truly worth your consideration.
