18 Pairs of "Boring" Jeans We're Buying Before September 23

If you ask us denim-loving Who What Wear editors, boring jeans are the best jeans. After all, the number one thing that jeans have going for them is the fact that they're the most versatile thing you can wear. (But that doesn't mean we don't love a unique pair from time to time. How amazing are these?)
After months of warm-weather styles, we're ready to transition into fall the best way we know how: denim. Each of us has had our eye on a few pairs of everyday (aka "boring") jeans that we know we'll wear constantly when fall hits on September 23 and beyond.
As you'll see below, many of us have similar taste when it comes to the brands we shop for the best "boring" jeans. There are several styles from the likes of Agolde, J Brand, Levi's, and more. Now is the best time of year to stock up on denim, so keep scrolling to shop the pairs of jeans we plan on purchasing.
"So many of Who What Wear's editors own these jeans that I think I need to add them to my wardrobe now, too. Between the high rise and the straight leg fit, they encompass everything I look for in a pair of jeans. I'll be opting for the washed black color because I basically live in black jeans in the fall."
"If I were to pick one shade of denim to wear for the rest of my life, this would be it. At first glance, these seem like they're pretty standard basic jeans. However, the fit is impeccable, and the back pockets add something special. Goldsign is known for those unique back pockets, and I'm obsessed with how they look."
"I'm all about a good straight-leg jean. These from Agolde are perfection. The wash is easy to wear, and the rise hits me just right. There's nothing fancy about them. They are just the jeans you always reach for in your denim drawer, and that's more than enough."
