Jeans are one of the easiest categories to declutter.
There are only about six general denim colors and a handful of major styles, so it’s pretty simple to see what you actually wear — and what you don’t.
A quick rule: trends come and go fast. The barrel jeans that were everywhere this fall probably won’t be next year. Stick to one pair of trendy jeans at a time so they don’t take over your closet.
Jeans that date quickly
Super skinny jeans
Ultra-baggy or oversized fits
Acid wash or heavy distressing
Patchwork or cargo styles
Extreme flares
Ultra low-rise
For a timeless wardrobe, keep it simple.
Straight-leg and bootcut jeans are classic, flattering on most body types, and stay in style year after year.
