good jeans

nylon staffers show off their favorite denim looks.

We love jeans at NYLON--so much so that we have an entire issue devoted to them. But it's not just in our pages where we obsess over them; on any given day, you can find at least a dozen NYLON staffers donning skinnies, cut-offs, button-downs, and more, all in the iconic fabric.

But like all things, we each have our favorites. With prime jean-wearing season upon us, we spent a day documenting NYLON staffers' favorite pairs. What did we learn? That a) whether it's a fashion editor or a marketing director, we know our denim, and b) we're so not afraid to show off our knowledge.

Scroll through our gallery to see Team NYLON show off their good jeans (and in the process, get a little bit of inspiration for yourself).

Steff Yotka (Associate Web Editor) still loves the very first denim jacket she over bought--10 years later and the "old school" Juicy Couture button-up looks just as good (with the help of patches from Love, Adorned).

Dani Stahl (Style Editor-At-Large) got these J Brand skinnies because "they're super dope, I'm obsessed with the color, and I'm obsessed with J Brand in general."
