As much as we love our pleather leggings and LBDs, sometimes you just can’t beat a great pair of jeans.
They’re classic. They’re versatile. They’re comfy. What’s not to love? Dress them down with a perfectly fitted tee and runners for off-duty errands. Dress them up with a sleek bodysuit and an immaculately tailored blazer for cocktail hour or (semi) casual Friday. Either way, they always deliver.
And with more fits and brands than ever before, your perfect pair awaits. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the top 5 best fitting denim styles in Canada. Because we know you love supporting local—and looking flawless while doing it.
How We’re Ranking Them
-
FIT. If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll know that fit comes first. It’s the foundation of every great outfit, and the element that makes you feel incredible. We’ve covered the importance of fit here, but for denim we’re talking waistbands that hug (not gape or squeeze), smooth lines from waist to ankle (no awkward sagging or wrinkles), well-placed pockets, and inseams that make sense for your height.
-
STRETCH. Some denim purists might disagree, but we’ll always advocate for stretch. It’s the not-so secret reason why our EMMYDEVEAUX designs always look and feel so amazing, and the same logic applies to denim. Who wants to spend the day in denim so stiff it feels like cardboard? Not us.
-
QUALITY. Longevity matters. If it’s the type of denim that’ll start ripping or sagging after a few wears, it’s not worth it.
And now, the best of the best.
The Top 5 Best Fitting Canadian Denim Styles For Women
DUER Performance Denim Mid Rise Straight Jeans. This Vancouver-based brand creates clothes built to keep up, much like us. These straight-leg jeans channel ‘90s energy with a timeless cut, enhanced by DUER’s modern tech: extra stretch and moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating performance fibres. Translation: seriously comfortable denim with a perfect streak of five-star reviews.
How to style them: Keep it simple with a basic long sleeve or turtleneck, and maybe the Hendrix too.
Yoga Jeans Emily Slim Jeans. The name says it all: these jeans are comfortable and stretchy enough to do yoga in. The Emily hits the perfect balance between straight and skinny: tapered enough to create definition, but designed to skim (not cling). No matter the denim trend cycle, this style always stays relevant.
How to style them: This denim style works with just about any top, but they’ll look especially good with the Addison, a bodysuit, and sleek stretch sock boots.
Silver Suki Mid Rise Wide Leg Jeans. A Canadian icon for a reason. Silver has perfected the art of denim that fits beautifully and lasts. The Suki wide-leg jeans are a fan favourite for a reason: a curvy fit, multiple inseam options, and a viscose blend Power Stretch denim that moves with you. Silver fans love them so much, they’re getting multiples.
How to style them: Balance the wider silhouette with a fitted top, like our Long Sleeve Cropped Top. If you need to layer up, try it with our cinched waist Carlyle Blazer.
Lola Jeans Alice High Rise Flare Jeans. If you want jeans that look good, feel good, and do good, Lola will be up your alley. The sustainable denim brand proves you can have it all with their organic cotton jeans. But best of all? They still add in 4-way stretch for greater comfort and a lasting shape. Just like the Alice flare jeans. Designed with the perfect flare silhouette and a flattering high rise, these babies will elongate your legs like nothing else.
How to style them: Keep the retro vibes going with an off the shoulder bodysuit and bold heels.
DUER No Sweat Denim High Rise Wide Leg. When brands make denim this comfortable and innovative, we have to include more than one style. DUER’s No Sweat Denim is the ultimate deception fabric: it looks like classic denim, but the addition of TENCEL™ Lyocell makes it as soft as sweats. But don’t worry—there’s enough cotton to add structure. This wide leg style is ideal for anyone that doesn’t want an overly baggy silhouette. It’s more fitted through the waist, hips, and thighs, giving them a slight flared feel.
How to style them: The semi-fitted silhouette gives you a bit of flexibility with top volume, so why not add some draping with a chiffon cowl neck cami?
If you’re pairing denim with your favourite EMMYDEVEAUX pieces, make sure it’s denim that matches our standards for fit, stretch, and longevity. The result? Outfits that move with you, feel incredible, and last for years.
