If you spend a third of your day on the floor building block towers, your jeans need a job description.
The checklist
- 1–2% stretchenough to crouch, not so much they bag out by noon
- Mid or high rise that stays put when you bend
- Deep front pockets for a phone and snack wrapper
- Darker wash to hide yogurt fingerprints
Fits to try
Straight leg and relaxed tapered both work. Skinny can feel restrictive on the floor; wide leg can catch on car seats.
Care
Wash inside out, cold, and hang dry to keep the stretch. A stretch straight-leg pair in two washes covers most of the week.
