Since graduating from college last year, I've made it my mission to elevate my wardrobe. I said goodbye to filling my closet with cheap, trendy pieces that barely last a season, and hello to investing in timeless, high-quality staples I'll have for years to come. Since denim has been, and always will be, the backbone of my wardrobe, upgrading my jeans felt like the natural first step. Luckily, Saks has an unbelievable denim selection with every cut, wash, and designer a jean lover could want. Three brands in particular caught my attention—Joe's Jeans, AG, and Moussy Vintage—each offering that perfect mix of impeccable fit, elevated quality, and an overall cool vibe that can be styled in endless different ways. Ahead, shop the pairs that have earned a permanent spot in my wardrobe.
Joe's Jeans
Joe's Jeans was the first denim brand I fell in love with, and they've been a constant in my wardrobe ever since. The quality is incredible, and each pair can transition seamlessly from casual daytime looks to more dressed-up nighttime looks. While the brand's classic blue jeans will always be a favorite, the leather pants and brown denim (with the cutest bow detail) are standout picks that prove the brand excels in fresh and elevated pieces.
AG
When I spotted the Adria Low-Rise Jeans ($265) in Al Fresco, I instantly knew they needed to be in my closet. That feeling only grew as I browsed the rest of AG's selection—each pair has that cool, put-together feel that makes them so easy to wear. The styles below are the ideal additions to my fall wardrobe.
Moussy Vintage
Moussy Vintage is the definition of timeless denim. Every pair has that lived-in feel that never goes out of style and only gets better with every wear. The styles below are classics for a reason—you'll reach for them year after year.
