The Sexiest Jeans of All Time (11 photos)

Jeans are the ultimate wardrobe staple. You can wear them to the office, out in the countryside, or for a night on the town. On top of that, they happen to be one of the sexiest garments ever created!







1. "The sexiest robbery in history!" proclaimed the posters for the 1968 movie

2. With her toned midriff and killer curves, Britney Spears was practically made for the ultra-low-rise denim trend of the early 2000s. In her iconic music video for "I’m a Slave 4 U," the pop star danced in a pair of daringly low-slung jeans. (Courtesy Jive Records)



3. Pulling off ultra-short Daisy Dukes takes very little denim—and a whole lot of confidence. Catherine Bach originally made the microscopic cutoffs famous in the 1979 series

The Dukes of Hazzard

, while Jessica Simpson gave them a modern update in the 2005 movie remake. "I wanted to make the jeans proud," the actress famously said. (Warner Bros./Everett Collection)



4. "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing." When 15-year-old Brooke Shields delivered that line in 1980, the world stopped in its tracks—and rushed out to buy Calvin Klein jeans. Whether due to her age or the sleek skinny fit, the backlash was instant, but the fashion industry's message was clear: jeans are sex. (Globe Photos)

Eleven years later, she recreated the iconic ad for Diet Pepsi—this time alongside her real-life kids. The slogan read, "Some things never change. Some things do." One thing that definitely didn't change was Cindy's ability to turn heads in a pair of jean shorts. (Courtesy of Pepsi/ Getty Images)
