If there's an equivalent in your closet to, say, butter in your refrigerator, it must be your favorite pair of jeans. Is there a food that butter does not improve? No. Is there an outfit that a good pair of jeans does not make better? Absolutely not. Is butter a necessary part of life? Yes. Do you need jeans to get through society? Surely. You see, the parallels are uncanny.

While there exists no shortage of stores from which to purchase your new favorite bottoms, there are a few places that we turn to without fail for a great pair of long-lasting, comfortable, and good-looking jeans. And that's because they satisfy a few key criteria.

Everlane's defining trait is its transparency, and the brand prides itself on informing customers exactly where its products are made and how much it costs to make them. The brand ensures that its LEED-certified factory in Vietnam recycles 98% of its water. The plant also uses alternative energy sources to further reduce its carbon footprint.

The vast majority of Everlane jeans incorporate some amount of elastane in them for that trademark stretch. The Slim Fit has just 2 percent elastane, which is enough to notice the difference in feeling, but not enough to make your jeans lose their shape. You can always opt for other pairs with more or less elastane depending on just how stretchy you'd like your jeans to fit.

I'm also a particular fan of Mott & Bow for its straightforward approach to jean styles. Unlike other brands, which run the risk of overwhelming you with the sheer volume of jean options, Mott & Bow only has three offerings from which to choose: straight, slim, and skinny. And for you denim purists out there, you won't have to worry about distressed looks or odd paint splatters that are meant to make you look handier than you are. Rather, Mott & Bow jeans are simple, sleek, and classic.

Folks are also particularly taken by Mott & Bow's free try-and-return service, which is exactly what it sounds like: pick a pair of jeans, get them sent to your doorstep to try them on, and if you don't like them, just send them back. It's like turning your own home into your dressing room. And if you need any additional help, you can always turn to Mott & Bow's phenomenal customer service reps.

And when we say eco-friendly production, we mean it. Alas, most jeans are not particularly kind to the earth, as a traditional pair of jeans actually requires 1,500 gallons of water to produce. Warp + Weft, on the other hand, has somehow slimmed down its production to require just 10 gallons of water per pair and recycles 98 percent of that water.

The jeans that come out of this process are some of the softest I've ever worn. It seems to be thanks to a proprietary cotton wrapping technique, which makes all four of the company's core fabrics extremely soft and surprisingly breathable. Despite this level of comfort, they still look structured and sleek, no matter how many times I've run them through the wash.

Shopping for denim can be difficult if you're petite. Standard inseams may be too long, but tailoring can be inconvenient and expensive. Finding great petite jeans that already fit you just right is a much better solution, and you can do that at Madewell.

Many people on the Insider Reviews team swear by the brand's Cali Demi-Boot, a kick-flare option that's fitted through the leg with a little extra volume towards the bottom. Insider Reviews former executive editor Ellen Hoffman counts these as some of her favorite jeans. She says, "Madewell's demi-bootcut jeans are another winner for petite ladies like me. The regular version has a 26-inch inseam that perfectly suits my 5-foot-3 frame, but Madewell also offers tall and petite options."

Los Angeles-based brand Revice Denim is premium denim with a vintage flair. The Styles are on trend, but made to last from season to season. Their Mom Jeans replace the usual straight leg with the current appeal of a baggier and looser fit. Even their boyfriend jeans have a revolutionized design that sits effortlessly low.

With premium denim, there's not much stretch or give from pair to pair so be sure to check out the size guide to get your exact fit. The same goes for the length of each pant leg. Pay close attention to where each hem hits on the ankle. If you don't mind a cropped look or one that may kiss the soles of your sneakers, then Revice Denim is the way to go.

There are so many high-end denim brands to choose from, but Rag & Bone is my go-to when it comes to splurging on jeans. The quality is top-notch, the styles are classic and cool, and the fits are always flattering.

Skinny jeans may be closet staples, but then again, they also tend to be cruel reminders that beauty is pain. As it turns out, it doesn't have to be that way, especially not if Liverpool is in the mix. This brand is known for testing its jeans on a variety of body types, which means that they're truly made for everybody. And when it comes to its skinny styles, this cross-fitting practice makes for unbelievably comfortable jeans that don't veer into "jegging" territory.

If you fall in love with Liverpool (which, let's face it, you most likely will), you'll find that serving as a brand evangelist pays for itself. The company offers a pretty sweet referral program, which helps you earn and use points for discounts on future purchases. Moreover, Liverpool often runs pretty steep sales, which makes their sub-$100 jeans even more affordable.

Online, you can find an overall good pair of jeans in many available classic silhouettes. From mid-rise skinny jeans to straight-leg high-waisted denim, Maurice's caters to women that prefer a more fitted look. Even their bootcut and flare jeans hug the hips. From distressed holes to patches of flannel, each pair is budget-friendly regardless of the detail.

To find the intersection between form and function, head on over to DUER. The brand's slogan is "Denim for the Adventurous," and those are more than just words. Back in 2013, Gary Lennet (who previously spent 25 years making jeans for Levi's, Guess, and Lee) teamed up with Abid Hafeez, an expert in performance fabric with decades of experience to his own name. A little over a year later, the duo launched their first pair of jeans on Kickstarter, raising more than $50,000 and plenty of demand for their L2X Performance Denim. A year later, their second pair of jeans launched on the crowdfunding platform to the tune of $250,000. The rest, as they say, is history.

DUER sets itself apart through its Performance Denim, a supremely stretchable and lightweight fabric that is not only durable but also moisture-wicking and anti-stink. That means that even after a long day of outdoor adventures, your jeans won't smell like they've been working hard.

Indeed, DUER jeans can be found at outdoor retailers like REI, and adventurous women and men alike have made the brand their go-to when it comes to buying jeans that can make an easy transition from the city to the country.

The bigger the better with Abrand jeans. Considered the brand of the next generation, Abrand denim ditches usual skinny or straight-leg jeans for wide silhouettes that are slouchy and effortless. Insider Reviews Style and Beauty Editorial Fellow Kayla Bickham wears the A Slouch Jean on sunny days when she's running errands or meeting with friends.

"Because the jeans are so baggy, I like pairing them with a cropped graphic tee or an even more oversized cardigan for a cool effortless look," she says. Abrand, however, believes that the people wearing their jeans are what makes them so cool.

From baggy mom jeans to ever-present skinnies, there isn't a denim silhouette that Levi's hasn't perfected. The brand is known for its vintage-inspired silhouettes that age like a fine wine, making them pieces with a seriously high return on investment.

Denim prices run the gamut at Levi's, and the brand has regular sales that allow you to seriously stock up. Levi's also has a resale section on its website, where you can buy previously-owned styles as a major discount. Considering how much waste the denim industry contributes, it's great to see a brand making it easy for customers to reduce their own footprint.

Good American has a stretch appeal that comfortably enhances all figures from 00 to 32 plus. The best part? You never have to wonder about how jeans will fit on your body type because each pair is modeled by women of varying sizes. Woman founded, each pair is designed with the intention of targeting the common issues we come across when finding the perfecting pair.

In fact, Good American's jeans are more than just your average denim. Wearing Good American is about cultivating a community of women that feel confident. Just like any good brand with a social mission, their denim is made up of 70% responsible materials and are 100% inclusive.

Carve Designs denim has the perfect amount of stretch because they are designed with women with real bodies in mind. Founders Jennifer Hinton and Thayer Sylvester began their jean journey on a surf trip to San Pancho. It totally makes sense that these jeans are pairs you can move in that give when you're on the go.

Although the surf apparel company got its start with rashguards and boardshorts in 2003, they've expanded to clothing including jeans with its signature ankle cuff. While some pairs can be a bit pricey, ranging from $70 to $100, the fit makes it totally worth the tag.

Comfort: First and foremost, you'll want your jeans to be incomparably comfortable. After all, I practically live in my favorite pair, and that's only the case because wearing them and wearing leggings are about equal when it comes to mobility and stretchability.

Price: While a great pair of jeans will last you for years on end (and as such, can justify a high price tag), it simply is not the case that buying a great pair of pants requires you to pay an arm and two legs.

Quality: Given that the fabric can make or break your pants, this is certainly no place to skimp. Be sure that your favorite jean purveyor sources its denim from top-of-the-line suppliers, and know how to take care of this durable material. After all, the longer you own your jeans, the better they look. 781b155fdc
