You can still find high-quality cheap jeans&#8211;you just need to know where to look (and of course, we\u2019ve put together a list of our favorites).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When buying jeans at any price, there are a few things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sizes really vary. Some brands are sized like men\u2019s pants (0 to 30) and others are by waist (23 to 34). This can be really confusing from brand to brand, so it\u2019s always important to try on and scrutinize every pair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t forget, they will stretch out, but they\u2019ll also shrink when washed, so buy the pair that is slightly bigger (but not a whole size up).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the fabrications. For the sake of fit and comfort, look for at least 2 percent Spandex.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are our picks for the best cheap jeans brands on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cheap jeans brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everyday cheap jeans: Old navy<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wide-leg-trousers.jpg\" alt=\"Wide Leg Trousers\" class=\"wp-image-49412\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wide-leg-trousers.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wide-leg-trousers-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you live to live in your jeans, you\u2019ll want to try on the pants at Old Navy. The brand\u2019s jeans aren\u2019t only cheap (around $35 or less), but comfortable and long-lasting. Pick up trouser jeans to wear to the office and stretchy leggings for play. Don\u2019t forget that extended sizes (petite, tall and plus) are primarily online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a title=\"plus size jeans\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/plus-size-jeans\/\">Plus Size Jeans<\/a>: Fashion Bug&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/five-pocket-jeans.jpg\" alt=\"Five Pocket Jeans\" class=\"wp-image-49413\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/five-pocket-jeans.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/five-pocket-jeans-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a bazillion plus-size jean lines, but we still turn to Fashion Bug when we\u2019re looking for truly cheap jeans. Fashion Bug has colored denim leggings, whiskered jean trousers in up to a size 30 with inseams of 29\u201d (petite), 32\u201d (regular) and 34\u201d (tall), and fits geared toward body types straight (yellow), moderately curvy (red) and curvy (blue). Some styles have a \u201cSecret Slimmer\u201d with an extra stretch panel (which we LOVE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic cheap jeans: Levi\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/levis-jeans.jpg\" alt=\"Levi&#039;s Jeans\" class=\"wp-image-49414\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/levis-jeans.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/levis-jeans-272x300.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Jeans, as we know them today, were created by Levi Strauss &amp; Co. in the 1920s, and this line clings to its heritage while also adapting to 21st century fit and style. For $45 to $98, you can pick new styles from the current denim line such as the 505 straight-leg jean with a classic fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can use the online Find Your Curve &nbsp;quiz to identify your body type (slight, demi, bold or supreme) using waist and seat approximations and fit issues (gaps in back, waist too tight, not enough coverage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Date night cheap jeans: Asos <\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"192\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/asos-jeans.png\" alt=\"ASOS jeans \" class=\"wp-image-124494\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mom, pop star and \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d judge, J.Lo. seems to do it all, including making cute, cheap jeans. Her Kohl\u2019s line is seemingly priced to always be on sale, including the jeans, which start at around $54 (side-eye), but are often on sale for $38. We like that her jeans fit well, but also are a bit on the trendier side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trendy cheap jeans: Forever 21<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/trendy-skinny-jeans.jpg\" alt=\"Trendy Skinny Jeans\" class=\"wp-image-49416\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/trendy-skinny-jeans.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/trendy-skinny-jeans-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Want the colored denim, but not interested in J Brand prices?
