With the heat and vacation time, summer is all about adopting a more comfortable and relaxed style—both of which drawstring jeans embody. Taking inspiration from our favorite loungewear styles, these jeans offer a more laid-back denim look with the added perk of a more exact fit and, depending on the style, the occasional stretchy waistband. 

“I just bought a pair of drawstring jeans, and as a 11 months-postpartum lady who is still adjusting to her new body, I love them so much. They make me feel cool, they’re more forgiving, and they’re so comfortable. My favorite is this pair from GAP,” editorial director Gina Vaynshteyn says.

Comfortable denim is also a bit of a style hack because you can get away with a more loungey look while still appearing put together and chic. These jeans tend to have a more slouchy silhouette with low- or mid-rise fits. However, we scoured the best denim brands for a mix of styles ranging from barrel to wide leg, and we even found some high-rise options. 

Ahead, find our top picks for the best drawstring jeans to slip into this season. (Psst: they look so good with a pair of slides.)
