Your Favorite Pair of Jeans - I Need Some Recommendations!

Food for thought...
The expensive brands will last you for YEARS.

I love my Sevens. LOVE them.

My pairs are 5 yrs old and look like I bought them yesterday. They are fitted specifically to my body (as expensive denim does that).
Think of it as a long term investment.

And if you visit sites like:
www.ruelala.com
www.ideeli.com
www.hautelook.com
www.giltgroupe.com

You can usually find them (or one of the designer brands) for $100.

If you are really looking for incredible prices, I suggest the main store at the Power Square Mall (sorry, I have only just discovered it and don't remember the name--see the post immediately before mine). My 15-yr-old daughter is 6' and has to have the "long" jeans. We find them there for $8 to $15 per pair. A few weeks ago we got 4 pair of new jeans for school for under $40 and she loves them. Most are Lee brand, I think. If you happen to be a size 12, we have 4-5 pair we bought there at the beginning of the summer that are now too big and she hardly wore. We'd love to pass them on for $5 per pair. Please send me a private message if you're interested in this. Good luck.

What do you consider expensive?? Express has great jeans-- sign up for their email list and you get good coupons and 15% off your first purchase..
Levis is always great.. hydraulic can be inexpensive at times..
true religion etc are expensive but the fit is phenomenal..
i really like express and I think they have buy one get one 50% off plus they have coupons and they last forever..
Guess also are a great fit--- check the clearance racks of macy's or dillards(if you have one of those)... get on their email lists for coupons and sale alerts.. or hit the outlets if you have one nearby !

I just found the APT brand at Kohls...and I love them.

But I also love Maurices jeans.

The only jeans I've ever found that fit me right are from the Gap. I get them at the outlets. It's worth it to me to pay a little more for jeans that are comfy and look good. All the less expensive jeans I've got at Target get worn only a couple times because they don't fit right. I just stopped trying!

Also -- try retailmenot.com for coupon codes if you buy online!

My only fave jeans I always end up with are Levis 505 straight leg jeans. I am 5'5 and need a short in length. Go figure. If I get the medium (regular) they are weirdly baggy in the rise and make me feel like I have WAY too much fabric thru there. ISH. They do make a long in them. (Sorry, never actually measured my inseam...I just know in these a "Short" is the perfect length for me and makes the rise part perfect as well). They have a little stretch...the right shape for my body and the fabric for my sort of sensory issues I have. I love them! When not on sale or Kohls card discounts they are about $45 each...but I have some from like 10 years ago! I recently got 2 new pairs as I have lost some weight...

I do have capri's I LOVE LOVE this season that are Vera Wang..the less expensive line she has from Kohls (haven't tried any of her long jeans on tho). I shop at Kohls alot and have ALOT of tops from Vera Wang..and get my Levis there as well. I use my Kohls card so I can get the discounts, plus stuff is generally "always" on sale at some point. Now is a great time for jeans with Back to School stuff.

Do you have a nordstrom rack near you? It's hit or miss, but you can usually find a pair of designer jeans for $60-$100. When I find a pair (I like MEK and Big Star) that fit me well, I usually buy a couple of pairs and they last me for years. Good luck! Finding a good pair of jeans is not easy.

What is expensive to you?

I have great jeans from Guess that I paid $100 for that still look great and are going strong 7 yrs later. I think I got my $100 worth out of them!!

I also like Rock Revival which are well over $100...

You get what you pay for!! You can manage to get these brands on clearance racks if you look hard enough.

I typically just purchase from Kohls or Target but try on a bunch to make sure the jeans fit well. In the past few months I have looked, everyday, at a site called nomorerack.com........they have all sorts of designer things that are at rediculous discounts. I bought a pair of Elie Tahari jeans that have a regular price of $198 for less than $40........ok, I'm not just loving them b/c they are designer - they actually fit fabulous and the feel of the jeans is great.

I wear only one style- Gloria Vanderbilt "Amanda." They are cut just the way I like them and come in the short size I need. They do make them in long, too. What I like is that they are fitting in the rear, but have a tapered leg.

I looove my Seven jeans but I like a pair I got from old navy almost as well and you can never go wrong with Levis. :)

Love oldnavy jeans! And if you are willing to take the time and stop in frequently you can often find the style and size you want on clearance :)

I love my old navy jeans. They have great sales so you can get a pair for $20 sometimes. They're separated into different styles so you can choose low rise to regular and they have longer lengths.

I like old school men's Levi's.

Old Navy has some long style jeans. I do like them but just know that because they are inexpensive, you aren't getting the best dyes or much denim. but they do the trick. Also, Macy's was having a sale on Levis and other brand names, such as Calvin Klein and they all make LONG inseams.. so check those out too..

best of luck

I have a 36" inseam and wear a size 4. I LOVE American Eagle jeans. If you sign up to get their stuff in the mail you'll get great coupons too. They last a long time (especially if you wash them in Woolite for darks and cold water, delicate dry). I've had mine for 6 years now.

Check out these two stores, I wear a 33" inseam also:

Decadence Boutique: http://www.decadenceboutique.net/default.html
They are located at Power & Baseline at the Power Square Mall (formerly the VF Factory Outlet Mall). They have LA Idol and Miss Me jeans very reasonably priced.

Buckle in the Superstition Springs Mall. (www.buckle.com) I know they have some very expensive jeans but the BKE brand is only about $75. That to me was expensive to since I only like to spend $30 on jeans but they have so many different fits it is pretty cool. I found two styles that I really like and went ahead and splurged over a year ago. They still look and fit great so you do get what you pay for.

Levis. You can get them anywhere.

The only jeans I have ever loved are from American Eagle and the Buckle.

I have a 34-35" inseam, and the only jeans I can wear are Gap (long size), or Silvers (from Maurice's). I've found that the extra $$ is so worth a great fitting jean that lasts and lasts! I've had most of my Gap and Silver jeans for over 5 years each and they still look like new. Gap isn't a bad price at all, around $40. The Silvers are about $50-60, but they often have buy one get one half off deals at Maurice's.
