Looking for cheap jeans. I usually go to Zara, but am thinking of trying H&M because it is closer to my office. Anyone have a preference or anecdotal information to share?

    Love your outfit! Particularly your top and earrings.

    I'm of no help when it comes to jeans. I HATE the stretchy ones they make now so I stick with my old, skinny fit Levi's. I'm taking care of them carefully so that they don't wear out. I'm hoping the stretchy thing will go away and someone will make jeans with actual denim again.

    I have some H&M jeans I like, but they're two years old and I don't know what they have going on now.

    Recently found some jeans that are "Royalty" brand (?) found 'em at TJ Maxx for around $10 and really love them. I was skeptical but liked the cut...anyway, the fit and fabric is awesome and has stayed really great even with many washings over the last 2 months.

    Thanks! My current jeans the legs fit, but the waist is gappy and it’s so bad right now. If I don’t wear long shirts you can see six inches of butt. But generally if I go down a size the legs are too tight. I did much better with higher cotton jeans too and completely agree with you!

    Thanks. You’re right that how jeans are made changes so checking out in person makes sense. I’ll take a look at Royalty though, thanks!

    I found expensive jeans that I liked at Lucky, then bought them cheaper on eBay. Resale is my friend. :smile:

    Not sure where you live, since Zara and H&M are both international brands. I've had good luck with reasonably priced (<$50) jeans from American Eagle, Gap, and Old Navy. They all carry a variety of styles and while not every one is flattering to every shape, I can generally find something that works for me.

    I'm in Boston and can't get to a mall easily, but stand alone stores work well. I'll definitely take a look at Uniqlo. Not a fan of AE, Gap or Old Navy, as haven't had much luck those places in the past, but thanks for all the suggestions. I've also had great Lucky jeans, but prefer to try things on in person as I have lots of weird fit issues (long inseam, waist, thighs). thanks again
