I’m typically on the hunt for either food or fashion. What to eat, where to shop, and what to buy?! But ever since I instituted my self-imposed shopping diet, I really only shop for things I absolutely love or need. Mostly, need. And black jeans are always on my ‘need’ list. Have you ever asked yourself why it’s so hard to find a good pair of black jeans? I mean, ones that stay black after multiple wears and washes? It’s almost as hard as tracking down pictures of Bigfoot! But over the years I’ve tried and tested my fair share of black jeans. And by fair share I mean several pairs per season because after one wash, they turn stonewashed. Not cool. So through the process of elimination, I’ve got my tried and true brands that make the best, blackest black jeans, that stay black for a while! Or at least a few seasons. Sometimes that’s all you can ask for.

But it’s worth the search. Black jeans are my fave because they’re chic, slimming, and work with everything. You can dress them up or down. Plus, paired with a cute top and heels, black jeans make an easy date night outfit!

Here are my top 8 favorite pairs of black jeans (not in any particular order):
1. Paige Transcend Verdugo Crop Jeans in Black Overdye
2. Shaping Skinny High Jeans
3. Black High Rise Skinny Jeans
4. High-Rise Knee-Slit Super Skinny Jeans (More here)
