A truly great pair of jeans can survive every fashion cycle, match nearly everything in your closet, and get better with each wear. And sure, the perfect jeans mean something different to everyone, but after testing 28 pairs — from loose, baggy silhouettes to classic, timeless styles — our expert found 10 worthy of the title.
