After a year spent in sweatpants and sweatshorts, I’m finally interested in wearing hard pants again. But if I’m spending on denim, I want jeans that look as good five years from now as they do today. Enter: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
In between fashion and home finds, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale has a secret section filled with timeless jeans, including L’Agence’s subtle flares, dark skinny jeans by Mother, and of course, the Levi’s 501. It’s all denim that can be a neutral base for the Instagram top of the moment and complete a simple tee and jeans look. We narrowed down the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale’s denim section to a lineup of ten classic jeans. Buy them now and wear them forever—or at least until you miss your cashmere sweats.
