For the past few weeks, I’ve been on a bit of a denim deep dive, eager to uncover the jeans that have been dominating sales amongBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing readers and editors. As a team that talks about denim constantly, I was curious: which pairs have you all collectively bought this year and are carrying into the next?

It’s not just about the brand, though—these styles have earned their top spots because they combine affordability, fit, and style in a way that makes them wardrobe staples.

First Place: H&M Wide High Jeans
Given their ultra-low price point, I'm not shocked these H&M jeans came out as the #1 jeansBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors and readers bought this year. Nearly 500 people bought these jeans from our stories, nearly double the next best-selling pair. (I even bought a pair myself this year!) At just $30, they're probably one of the most accessible pairs on this list, ranging in size from a sizes 0 20.
Second Place: Free People We the Free Good Luck Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans
If there was one denim style that defined 2024 the best, it would be barrel jeans. This controversial denim style was catapulted into popularity this year thanks to Free People's under-$100 pair that made it on hundreds of our articles and social media posts this year. Love them or hate them, barrel jeans are here to stay and this pair taking our #2 spot of the year just proves their undeniable supremacy in 2024.

Classic, simple, and stylish is the name of the game for our #3 best-selling jean of 2024—the Zara High Rise Z1975 Straight Leg style is one of the brand's denim staples that is constantly sold out (or on the verge of being!).
