Without a doubt, jeans are essential to any style-setter's wardrobe. But like any great fashion staple, there's a new batch of covet-worthy iterations and silhouettes to sift through every season. Thus, we've culled the latest and greatest, along with more classic styles, to offer up a well-rounded mix of cuts, prints, lengths, and everything else in between. But to make this denim rundown even sweeter, we called upon six seriously cool denim experts — the designers (read: masterminds) behind some of our favorite denim labels, including AG Adriano Goldschmied, Gap, Paige, MiH Jeans, and J Brand — to provide you with some pretty jean-ius advice. It's safe to say, we've got the tools and more than 50 pairs of jeans to help you find the best fit for your body. Our ultimate Summer denim guide is just a click away, so jump right in.

Why we love it: Boyfriend jeans work on just about every body type and appeal to almost every styling sensibility. You can go ultraslouchy or cuff them for a more fitted finish — it's a relaxed look with flair. How to wear it: We think the boyfriend cut is best worn with an oversized t-shirt and more polished layers. Dress up your most worn-in versions with a patent leather pump. Denim expert soundoff: "Boyfriend fits are best for straighter-shaped women, and the slim boyfriend jeans are must-haves." — Mary Pierson, J Brand vice president of denim design
J Brand Aiden Distressed Denim ($218)
Gap 1969 Sexy Boyfriend Denim Chinos ($70)
Goldsign Hisjean Cropped Boyfriend Jeans ($202) Denim expert soundoff: "This boyfriend jean is for a girl who is not too curvy in the hips with a tomboy attitude." — Adriano Goldschmied, Goldsign founder and creative director
Rugby Ripped Boyfriend Jean ($148)
Why we love it: What's not to love about an eye-catching, brighter than bright pair of jeans? Not only are they conversation starters, but this season's rainbow-saturated denim have proved the ultimate outfit accent. How to wear it: If you're not an avid wearer of bold hues, keep your layers simple and your accessories minimal. If you love a great statement, try a strategic colorblock via equally vibrant sandals or a neon bag.
J.Crew Toothpick Jean in Garment-Dyed Twill ($125)
Guess Brittney Ankle Skinny Jeans in Lilac ($98)
Goldsign Jenny Spray Coated Relaxed Roll Up Skinny in Ocean ($366) Denim expert soundoff: "Follow your inspiration, don't be afraid and don't follow rules. Color represents your state of mind and your attitude so all you have to do is look in the mirror and like yourself." — Adriano Goldschmied, Goldsign founder and creative director
Ann Taylor Modern Cropped Denim Jean in Dayglow Yellow ($88)
Paige Denim Edgemont Ultra Skinny in Deco Rose ($235) Denim expert soundoff: "Go for an ombré effect — wear light pink to accent bright pink skinnies or a light blue with vibrant turquoise. The key is to not be afraid — choose bold color combinations and opt for unexpected neutrals such as gray, navy, and beige rather than a plain white t-shirt." — Paige Adams-Geller, Paige Denim founder and creative director
Blank NYC Skinny Jeans ($88)
Why we love it: A great skinny jean shows off your stems to perfection, sculpting them in all the right places. Plus, we love a slim cut that elongates our shape. How to wear it: Tuck in a button-up blouse and rock a sky-high pair of heels if you want to highlight every aspect of the form-fitted skinny style. If you're curvier, and want to emphasize your legs, opt for a loose-fitted blouse on top, to draw attention to the shape of your gams. Denim expert soundoff: "Skinny jeans are an easy everyday style for all body types. The versatility of being able to wear this style with flats or heels, or even tucked into boots, makes it so appealing to everyone. It's important to find a fabric that works well with your body type. Curvier girls will fare better with stretch styles." — Chloe Lonsdale, MiH Jeans founder and creative director
MiH Jeans Breathless Relaxed Skinny Selvedge Ankle Jeans ($322)
MOTHER Denim Skinny Blue Twill Pants in The Looker ($185)
rag & bone JEAN Contrast-Stripe Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans ($200)
ASOS Supersoft Ultra Skinny Jeans in Light Wash #11 ($61)
Theyskens' Theory Piquer Skinny Jeans ($250)
Why we love it: It's a classic look that never fails us on our low-key styling days. Plus, the straight cut bodes well for most body types and can be worn at every age. How to wear it: Find a wash that highlights your best attribute. If you want to minimize the appearance of thighs, then avoid anything with too much distressing on the thighs and pick a traditional dark, clean blue. Minimal pocket detailing will flatter your bum, and keep the overall look simple and sophisticated.
Madewell Rail Straight Jeans in Madewell Wash ($99)
Abercrombie & Fitch Classic Straight Destroyed in Medium Wash ($88)
Levi's Modern Bold Curve Straight Jeans in Pitch Black ($68)
Diesel Bootzee Jean ($192)
Why we love it: The printed jean is this season's most beloved patterned must-have, and we have to admit, we're just as obsessed as the next person. From colorful floral iterations to bold optic designs, the printed jean is a statement piece and a serious way to punch up any outfit. How to wear it: If you're wearing a more muted print, layer on bolder accessories and a great pair of sandals. If you've opted for a loud print, keep your complementing pieces quieter, via an oversized t-shirt, knit topper, or silky neutral-toned blouse. Denim expert soundoff: "Make sure to choose a print that suits both your personality and your wardrobe – florals can be just as beautiful in muted gray tones as they are in bright palettes. Make sure to have fun styling them with bold accent colors and tougher pieces, such as a cargo jacket or a menswear-inspired top." — Paige Adams-Geller, Paige Denim founder and creative director
Paige Denim Skyline Sophie Alice Floral-Print Jeans ($199)
Free People Ikat Skinny Jean ($88)
AG Adriano Goldschmied Polka Dot Ankle Stevie ($178) Denim expert soundoff: "Be fun and bold when it comes to shopping for printed jeans. AG offers pin dot and polka dot jeans, which make a nice fashion statement. The most important thing is to mix up the scale on the printed jeans you buy." — Samuel Ku, AG Adriano Goldschmied design director
Zara TRF Tie-Dye Jeans ($60)
Citizens of Humanity Jeans Mandy High Waist Retro Slim ($209) Denim expert soundoff: "Not every print is good for you, it will depend on your body and the color combinations you like. In general, try to get a print that is sexy and gives emphasis to your femininity. It will also depend on your personal style, so if you are a romantic, go floral, and if you are more artistic, go abstract, and so on." — Adriano Goldschmied, founder and creative director of Goldsign
