I’m Super Picky About Jeans, but This Gap Pair Fits Perfectly—and It's 40% Off Right Now

I hate jean shopping. Trying on pair after pair of nearly identical denim in a 3-by-5-foot dressing room isn’t for the weak, especially when an overzealous salesperson insists you look amazing when the jeans can barely button.

I’ve never been one to buy denim online, but after stumbling across Gap’s epic fall sale, I figured I had nothing to lose. My friends had raved about its jean selection, and the markdowns were too good to pass up. I never expected the pair in my cart to become my new favorite jeans.

They’re comfy, flattering, and 40% off right now. Here’s why I can’t stop wearing them.

I’m super picky about denim, so when I find a pair I love, I wear them on repeat. Since buying the Gap Mid Rise UltraSoft Baggy Jeans a month ago, I’ve probably worn them three times a week—minimum. I do wash them; I promise.

I like jeans that are comfy enough to sit in all day but supportive enough that they don’t slouch in the seat or cling to my stomach. While stretchy denim is flexible, it usually doesn’t give me the structure I want, so finding the right balance is tough.

Somehow, these jeans nail it. They’re 99% cotton and 1% elastane, so they keep their shape and remain comfortable all day. They haven’t stretched out at all, even after washing.

What I love most is how versatile they are. I typically separate my jeans into two categories —work and play—but these actually suit both. The rip-free denim and seamed edges give them a polished, office-appropriate look while the relaxed cut keeps them casual. I pair them up with a cardigan sweater and flats on workdays, or with a hoodie and sneakers to dress them down on the weekends.

They’re the right amount of baggy, with a fitted waistline that flatters without squeezing or digging, and the slouchy legs are loose, but not so big that they’re swallowing me.

I’m also obsessed with the clasp. As someone who may or may not discreetly unbutton her jeans post-meal, I love that these don’t have the basic button closure. The washed indigo pair I have has a zip-fly with a hidden clasp that’s easy to pop open at a moment's notice. Other washes have different closure styles.

Finding a perfect pair can feel nearly impossible, so when I do, I immediately want to stock up in every color. This one comes in 37 washes and patterns—classic blues, fall browns, pinstripes, and even leopard print. It’s also top-tier when it comes to size variety. These jeans come in regular and tall fits, with sizes ranging from 24 to 35. Select washes are also available in short and long inseams.
