There’s nothing worse than ill-fitting jeans, especially expensive ones. These days it feels like jeans prices are skyrocketing, while the return on investment in terms of quality and comfort no longer exists. Personally, I paid way too much for jeans that pinch, pinch or suffocate me without flattering my figure or making me feel safe. While I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with luxury jeans over my years as an editor, I have to admit that the jeans I consistently gravitate towards are sometimes some of the cheapest.
Whether it’s word of mouth from my friends, hours of reading and checking out reviews, or trying these jeans out for yourself, these 18 pairs of jeans under $75 are hands down some of the best on the market. Scroll to store, and if you buy them all up, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
