I Think These Are the Best Black Jeans, and They're Also Top-Rated by Customers
I wear black jeans regularly. While I'm also favoring light-blue jeans these days, I routinely turn to black denim because I think it can bring a chic and polished feel. Fun fact: My go-to silhouettes are from Levi's and Mott & Bow. But there are also a plethora of other A+ silhouettes out there. And yes, I decided to take the next few moments to share some of the said picks with you.
I scrolled through a range of go-to sites from Nordstrom to Shopbop to find the black jeans I think are great from a style perspective but that are also top-rated by customers. The jeans in question all have over four stars and above.
If you're looking to add a fresh pair of black jeans into your rotation, keep scrolling to check out the best picks, broken down by style. You'll also find an actual customer testimonial for each.
