There are few products that earn the status of being a wardrobe staple. For some, it's a reliable set of sneakers — and for others, it might be a trusted turtleneck. However, I think we can all agree that nothing beats a good pair of jeans.
Finding a pair that fits in all the right places, sits how they're supposed to and provides all-day comfort no matter what you're doing is rare. That's why we tapped style expert Jasmine Snow to share everyday denim that's easy to integrate into your wardrobe.
She stopped by the 3rd hour of TODAY to share picks that will never go out of style (no matter what the internet says!), including find that start at $24.
Everyday denim seen on the 3rd Hour of TODAY
Straight-leg jeans
NYDJ Women's Marilyn Straight Denim Jean
You can never go wrong with a classic, straight-leg silhouette. This affordable pair is available in a number of different washes and a wide range of sizes — and it's versatile enough to transition from a daytime office look to a night out.
They come complete with the brands "lift and tuck technology," promising to flatter any figure without compromising on comfort.

Skinny-leg jeans
Gap High-Rise True Skinny Jeans
While Gen Z refuses to believe it, skinny jeans are back! Our editors never stopped loving the popular style that can easily be paired with slides, loafers or knee-high boots.
This specific pair from Gap is appealing because it's available in three different lengths: short, regular and long, tailoring to those of varying heights. Plus, shoppers can save 50% off for a limited time.
Levi's 510 Skinny Fit Men's Jeans
Looks are deceiving with this pair of jeans, according to Levi's. While they look like skinny jeans, they certainly don't feel like it. They're designed with the brand's "Flex" technology that allows for a bit of stretch, pairing comfort with function.
Shaping jeans
SPANXshape EveryWear Flare Jeans
You love Spanx for their shapewear products and slimming features, but have you ever tried their clothing? We're big fans of the brand's one-and-done outfits, earning awards during our 2024 Travel Awards — but these high-waisted jeans deserve time in the spotlight, too.

Barrel jeans
Old Navy High-Waisted Barrel Ankle Jeans
Shopping for barrel jeans if a good idea if you're looking for a bit of volume that still provides a flattering look. The barrel-jean style jeans was also deemed petite-friendly by our editors, who appreciate their already-tapered length.
Old Navy is proving you don't have to break the bank to remain on trend with this affordable pair that has a price tag less than $40.
