Alright, I'll admit it: I have way more jeans in my closet than I have time to actually wear. And it's not just pants, either. It's jackets, shorts, skirts, shirts, and the occasional overalls. But you know what? I love the denim collection I've amassed over the years. Every morning when I get dressed, I know I can rely on one of my many trusty denim styles to pull together that casual, comfortable, and effortless look I always strive for.
But there are definitely particular silhouettes I find myself wearing and rewearing the most. I like to think of my collection as a social network. There are those styles I turn to once in awhile when I want to change up my usual routine, and then there are those I keep nearby, bringing them along for everyday moments and life milestones alike. In that vein, let me introduce you to the five denim pieces that are always there for me and make up my close-knit squad. If you're looking for a few new BFFs, I recently discovered that Treasure & Bond sells all the styles that I love. Keep reading to find the pieces you can always count on.

There's just something about boyfriend cutoff shorts ($69) that are made for an adventure. Whether I already have something exciting planned or want to see where the day takes me, I know that throwing on a relaxed, perfectly distressed pair will always result in a fun time. My go-to warm weather outfit is wearing a higher rise with cropped tops.

If there's one piece in my closet I know I can always count on, it's my trusty denim jacket ($79). Thanks to the easy, relaxed fit, it's the ultimate grab-and-go number to wear on its own, layered over other pieces, or my favorite — pushed off the shoulder for that cool-girl effect. And thanks to the faded blue hue, it works well with almost everything in my wardrobe.

The two-tone denim trend is such a subtle but impactful way to change up a casual look. When I feel like wearing something different and unexpected, I reach for a pair of medium-wash, wide leg crop jeans ($79) featuring a side stripe in a darker wash. Between the flattering cut, the color contrast detailing, and the frayed step hems, these pants make it easy to instantly achieve a fun and fresh look.

There are pieces that need a little getting used to every time I put them on. And then there are those pieces that are so comforting and familiar, it's like they never left my body. For me, the latter is a pair of lived-in high-waisted, cropped skinny jeans ($89). They hug every curve, feature perfectly placed fading and distressing, and only get better with age, making them a no-brainer for days when I want to fall back on something easy.

Despite how much denim I've gotten to know over the years and will inevitably meet in the future, the one I always come back to is a pair of black loose-fit skinny jeans ($79). These pants feature everything I look for in a true denim match — they're a versatile neutral color and are a little more tailored than a straight-leg, but with all the vintage-inspired details I love: exposed button fly, raw hems, and an easy, effortless fit. When I slip into them, I feel like my best, most confident self, ready to take on anything.
