Every Fashion Person I Know Raves About These Jeans—These Are the Best Pairs for Style and Fit

If you read Who What Wear regularly, you're probably familiar with Agolde jeans. Specifically Agolde Pinch Waist Jeans. I first reported on them a while back upon their initial release, and since then, the popularity of the jeans has continued to rise. Influencers are still spotted in them constantly, always claiming they are their favourite classic pair, and so many of our editors are wearing them on repeat too. The problem is, they're so popular, it's very rare to find them in stock. So, when I was partaking in my daily browse of Net-A-Porter's new-in section (it's my my job, I promise) and noticed a fresh restock of every size, in a number of different washes of the Agolde Pinch Waist Jeans, let me tell you, I gasped.
Thanks to the higher-than-high rise, perfect length, classic straight leg, and superior quality denim, it's unsurprising that these versatile jeans are the most popular Agolde style. Honestly, if you've been searching for that "perfect" straight leg jean for a while, don't skip a chance to at least try these on.
There's obviously a number of premium denim brands out there, but having tried a lot of them Agolde is always the brand I come back to. And it seems, so do a lot of others. In fact, they have several other styles that I see often that also seem to fly out of stock: the cult V-waist jeans (you must have seen these on so many influencers), '90s Fit Jeans (another Who What Wear editor favourite), Riley Jeans, and the new Low-Rise Baggy Jeans (the perfect relaxed style)
