Levi's 501 Original Cropped Jeans ($60, originally $98)
I know buying jeans for someone else isn't the easiest feat, but if you know their denim size — and know they could use a new pair of high-quality jeans — look no further than this editor- and world-loved pair from Levi's. The 501 Cropped Jeans are the OGs of the category (so the name's not an exaggeration), available in a range of washes, and somehow manage to feel both timeless and modern at once. Find out more about them in our Levi's 501 Original Cropped Jeans review, in which our editor tested the "Worn In Medium Indigo - Medium Wash" hue.
Editor Quote: "The color is that perfect medium wash — the kind you instantly envision when you think of a classic pair of jeans. They're dark enough that they can be dressed up easily but also look right at home with warm-weather blouses and casual T-shirts. Did I mention that they also make your butt look good? Well, they do." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
