8 Expensive-Looking Jeans That Are Under $50

"

I’m very much obsessed with hunting down the best deals, dupes, and looks for less. There’s nothing better than when someone says, “OMG I looove your jeans!” and you can say, “Thanks, they were only $30!” However, one thing is truly polarizing: how much money should you spend on a good pair of jeans? What’s more important: saving a few bucks, or so-called “higher quality?” Well, I’m here to tell you that you can have both.

Some of these jeans are my personal tried and trues, and some are pairs that the Internet has told me are amazing. All of these brands have inclusive sizing, and as a bonus, most have sales pretty frequently.

 

1. Old Navy Power Slim Straight Jeans

Every pair of jeans on this list is great, but the Old Navy Power Slim Straight are my holy grail jeans, and I’ll recommend them to everyone until the day I die — I literally own four pairs. They have the perfect cut and “secret-slim” front pockets, which keep everything in for a very flattering fit. And most importantly, they’re SO comfortable. Come in sizes 0-20 in petite, regular, and tall.

2. AE Ne(X)t Level Curvy High-Waisted Jeggings

I’m very excited about this relatively new style of jeans from American Eagle, the Ne(X)t Curvy High-Waisted jegging. They’re specifically made with extra room in the hips and thighs for all of the curvy girls out there, and are also made from extra stretchy materials for ultimate comfort. Come in sizes 00-24, and with some in X-short, short, regular, long, and X-long lengths.

5. Old Navy High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans

Switch things up with this fun wide-leg option. I truly believe a pair of wide-leg jeans with booties, a tucked-in blouse, and a statement belt is on of the chicest looks out there. Come in sizes 0-20 in petite, regular, and tall.
