In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, we’re highlighting some of the best women-led brands in denim. From Emma Grede and Khloe Kardashian’s figure-celebrating Good American jeans to Sarah Ahmed’s size inclusive Warp + Weft denim, these styles were crafted by some of the most powerful women in the business. Try some on for size and celebrate the women in your life.
