Leggings and sweatpants may reign supreme when it comes to comfort, but that doesn’t mean jeans can’t be, too — especially when they’re well-worn and have molded to your body over time.
Most people may expect the comfiest jeans to be made with a stretchy combo of cotton and materials like lycra, spandex, and elastane — which isn’t wrong, per se, but isn’t the full story either. Because here’s the thing: stretch jeans, in the long run, will actually stretch less than 100% cotton jeans because the fibers can expand AND retract versus just expand.
All this means is that 100% cotton jeans can be comfy too! You just have to choose wisely.
These are our seventeen favorite pairs that run the gamut from stretchy to sturdier, high-rise to mid-rise, skinny to bootcut.
