We've all had a favorite piece of clothing. A favorite t-shirt, warm cashmere sweater or that one suit that's cut just so. But nothing comes close to trumping our favorite pair of jeans. Now, while your Levis or Diesels may be your mainstay, we've put together a list of our four favorite and forward-thinking brands that will help round out your wardrobe. Or, at the very least, be a replacement for those Seven for All Mankind jeans that have been hanging around since...oh let me guess, 2001?

Joe's Jeans
Unlike many brands, Joe's only knows jeans. Back in 2007, they ditched their other clothing lines and just zeroed in on denim. Since then, they've turned out nothing but fantastic jeans with great cuts. Our favorite is the Brixton/Gallo jean. This particular pair, with its straight-leg and narrow-thigh hemming, comes across as an upscale, yet modern option to more pedestrian look. www.JoesJeans.com

Hudson Jeans
You may think that the denim craze may be an all American gig but the Brits want a piece of the action too. Meet Hudson Jeans, a fresh brand out of the UK that is giving the traditional jean a shot of Euro styling. A favorite of David Beckham, the jeans all-over distressing and signature triangle-flap pocket prove that a slightly beat-up pair of jeans that actually look...well, tasteful. www.hudsonjeans.com

Kasil Jean
We're suckers for anything that's handmade. Yes, that is Kasil's claim to fame. With a variety of cuts, they're best known for their hand stitched boot-cut jean.The styling is distinctly French with a very narrow leg and low-rise cut (read: muscle boys, skip to the next brand). A word to the wise when moving into a Kasil Jean; make sure to try them on before you buy, since they are handmade, no two pairs are exactly alike. Which, after all, is what makes them so cool, right? www.KasilJean.com

AG Jeans
If you miss the good old days when vintage-style denim was the mainstay -- you know, the days before the super low-rise and studded fashion disasters. Well, then AG Jeans, is your denim. With a wide variety of cuts AG Jeans have just enough attitude without any fuss. Their Hero cut is their classic straight-leg jean. Using softer pima cotton and a slightly higher back rise this pair is as comfortable as it is complimentary. www.AGJeans.com

Sure, you can stick to your tried-and-true brands but it never hurts to venture out of your comfort zone either. And, like we mentioned earlier, if you do still have a rogue pair of Seven for All Mankind jeans hanging around, take it from us, it's time to move on.
