I am what you might call denim obsessed. Rarely is there a week (maybe a day even!) I don’t wear jeans—after all, what is more versatile than a good pair? It's arguably the most important piece in a well-balanced wardrobe, and I am always on the hunt for my next favorite pair. Although I love designer denim, my budget does not allow me to pay top dollar whenever I get that shopping itch. Luckily, I’ve found plenty of affordable options in the denim space that are just as fashionable and high-quality as the higher-priced pairs, all $150 and under.
From the cult-favorite Levi's Ribcage to awesome '90s fits from Madewell (Can we talk about those Magic Pockets?), I simply can't get enough of these affordable jeans options. They solve any of my outfits problems on the daily, as they can be styled with all the closet classics, whether that's a favorite going-out top for dinner with friends; a cozy, chunky knit on the weekend; or a structured blazer for work meetings. Go ahead—wear them on repeat. I can guarantee these affordable jeans will become your weekly go-tos.
