I’ve been wearing the Madewell Perfect Vintage Jeans for years, and they continue to be one of my most-worn pairs. If you’ve been thinking about trying them, this post breaks down why they’re worth the splurge—and gives you easy outfit ideas to copy.
Jeans can be tricky to get right, especially when you want something flattering, comfortable, and versatile. The Madewell Perfect Vintage Jeans check all those boxes for me. I’ve worn the classic wash for years, and after falling in love with the fit, I picked up the light denim and white versions too. Both are surprisingly easy to style and feel just as timeless. If you’re on the fence or just need some inspiration, here’s why I love them—and a few outfit ideas to help you style yours.
They’re 20% off this weekend with code LTK20 (through Monday, May 19th), so if you’re looking for a great pair of jeans, now is the time to grab these!
Madewell Perfect Vintage Jeans in Hallstead Wash
These are a great light wash pair of jeans that you can wear all through the spring, summer, and even into fall. I recommend sizing DOWN one size. If you’re in between sizes, stay with your true size. I went down one full size to a 25 (as I always do with Madewell jeans).
You can see me styling them with sweatshirts and sneakers for a more casual weekend feel, or wear with a sweater and loafers for a more elevated feel.
Shop them here – use code LTK20 for 20% off!
Madewell Perfect Vintage Jeans in Tile White
These are the same jeans, just without the raw hem and in a beautiful pure white denim. They are not see through, and they’re a nice sturdy denim that won’t sag or stretch out. Again, I sized down one size to a 25 in these and they fit perfectly.
White jeans can be worn in so many ways. Try a basic tee and sandals, or a shirt and jacket, or a sweater with chic ballet flats. They’ll go with anything!
