Skinny jeans may have largely retired from the fashion scene, but their more sophisticated, timeless big sister is here to stay.
Straight-leg jeans are the replacement you’ve been missing, and if you’re not convinced, take a look at celebrity street style. Sophie Turner is the latest to remind us of the versatility of denim, stepping out in Paris wearing a bright pair with a tucked-in blue button-up shirt and black accessories: a thin belt, a balloon and pointy-toe boots. .

For Turner, straight-leg jeans brought texture and a casual vibe to what could have been a pared-down, business-casual look. But they didn’t take away from its clean lines or chic. It’s a style superpower: Dressed up or down, they bring balance to any outfit, which is why they remain on rotation for many stars, including Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Katie Holmes and more.
If you’re ready to add a pair to your closet, we’ve searched around and found seven straight-leg jeans that you can buy right now on sale — prices start at $18.

This pair of Levi’s jeans is made of 60 percent cotton, which gives the fit a bit of stretch and relaxation, so you don’t feel restricted when wearing them. They are also of medium height, which makes them easy to wear with all types of tops. The medium indigo most closely mimics the Turner pants, but they are also available in other colors, including black and white.
More than 7,500 customers rated them five stars, and reviewers said they fit great and are super comfortable. One customer called them his “favorite pair of jeans” and insisted on ordering more.

The price of this pair is enough to warrant an instant add to cart, but the quality and fit are also there. The 78 percent cotton blend has enough strength to keep everyday wear comfortable and doesn’t require breaking in or multiple washes to soften. The medium rise makes them versatile and comfortable, and more than 10 washes are available. One reviewer especially liked how well they work with a variety of shoes. “Works great with sneakers, boots, and heels,” they wrote, adding, “I love the stretch.”
Madewell 90s Straight Jeans, $100 (Save 22%)
Madewell
Buy at Madewell.com $128 $100
If you’re craving a pair of worn-in flats, Madewell has you covered. As the name implies, these jeans look like they’re from the 90s, even though they’re new. The best part is that while they look vintage, they don’t wear like a starchy, stiff pair — the denim is soft and stretchy, making the high-top easy to rock all day long. The brand notes that it does run a little tight due to the intentional fit through the hips and rear, so it might be safe to size up.
Those three pairs are just the tip of the iceberg in a sea of flat leg styles. Get ready to find your next pair of jeans and shop more below.
