I spend a lot of money on jeans because I literally wear them everyday. I believe in spending on things that get a lot of use - rather than splurging for a holiday dress.
For me, expensive jeans (Agolde) fit me much better than less expensive jeans (I tried Madewell and Reformation this year and then reverted to Agolde.). |
| I must not have been trying the right cheap jeans. For years I thought banana republic, Levi’s, j crew and madewell worked well. But then I got some from Mother and Paige and they were so much better in all the different ways. So now I’m a convert to expensive jeans. I basically live in them so it feels worth it. |
Totally! |
| No way I’d spend over $50 on jeans. |
| Depends. I love Levi's and Paige. |
Yes. The brands that reliably fit me (have a waist, need an inseam of at least 33”) are all in to $150-$300 range. Totally worth it to be able to pick something off the rack that just fits. |

I have gotten 7 Forl All Mankind, Banana Republic, Loft and Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, J Brand and higher end brandsat goodwill for under $10.
While I like the pricier jeans, I will not pay for them. |
| what are the higher brand luxury jean brands? |
Mother are the nicest luxury jeans. |
I would consider these brands to be: Frame Mother Hudson Paige AG You can find some good deals at Nordstrom rack. |
| AYR is good too. |

| I don’t wear polyester and 100% cotton jean are typically (more) expensive. Lots of good denim can be had for $150ish. |
