5 High-Quality Denim Brands That Look Designer But Cost Under $200
While I'm a big fan of Khaite and Toteme jeans, filling my closet with these $300 to $500 jeans would be costly. I balance things out with more affordable denim. And honestly, I've found that my jeans from the more affordable brands are some of the most worn in my closet.
I've tried more affordable denim brands than I have the time to list, but I will say that not all are created equal, as I'm sure you know. I've tried plenty of duds, but none have been from the brands I'm here to talk about today, all of which offer the bulk (or all) of their denim collections for under $200.
There's a good chance you're already familiar with these popular brands I'm highlighting, but if you're like me, you have denim on the brain again with fall approaching. Therefore, I'm just offering a little reminder that these brands excel at affordable jeans, and I chose the best current pairs to shop for. Scroll to do so.
Reformation
Reformation jeans definitely get a stamp of approval from cool girls, just like everything the brand makes. It offers classic and on-trend styles, so there's truly something for everyone.

These have quickly become one of Reformation's most popular styles.
The cut-off waistband makes these especially cool.
I'm starting to see cuffed jeans everywhere.
Madewell
The hype about Madewell denim is real—trust me. I started wearing it probably a decade ago. Whether you want comfort, a vintage look, trendier styles, or the basics, you'll find it among Madewell's denim selection. (Bonus: Its size range is one of the best on the market.)

Madewell's Perfect Vintage Jeans are practically legendary at this point.
A great choice if you're finally ready to dip a toe into low-rise.
Many of Madewell's jeans come in different inseam lengths, these included.
Other Stories
If you haven't tried denim from Other Stories yet, you're missing out. Most pairs are under $100, and the quality is shockingly good. If you prefer quiet-luxury denim, this is the brand for you, as its styles are devoid of labels.

Everlane
Another very popular, very well-priced denim brand is Everlane. The unique thing about Everlane is that it offers many styles in varying lengths. Take a look at the glowing reviews if you need convincing about the fit and quality of its denim range.

I love the vintage look of these (and that they come in two lengths).
COS
COS's variety of denim styles isn't massive, but you'll find that subtle takes on all of the essential trends during a given season are represented, and in a variety of washes.
