Yahoo has a story on "affordable" jeans for women. That to them means under $100.00. When did $100 become cheap?

I also wonder if women are too dumb to realize we want what is in the jeans and don't give a damn how much they cost,as long as they come off?

$100 or under is a good deal for the right jeans.

And it has little to do with what men think of the clothes. It's how we look in the clothes and how they make us feel.
Also - it is next to impossible for me to find jeans I look good in (which is why I almost never wear them) and many women are the same. So once you DO find a pair that works completely you'll spend whatever it costs, within reason.

Sorry, but I have great jeans that range about $40-$50. $100 is still a huge rip off.

I added the last bit just for fun, although I really do enjoy the contents of women's jeans...

I just don't see denim being worth that much money no matter how it is sewn together. I buy alot of worthless crap, but just can't see it for jeans.

my last pair of jeans were Levi's that cost me $16.99 at TJ Maxx

I suddenly feel so cheap!

I wonder tow. I typically buy LuckyBrand and its seems in six months both knees rip out within days of each other.

JustErin said:

Isn't $50 canadian worth anout $1000 US by now?

fuck that shit. i like my $30 levis, thanks

horatio said:

I used to buy Ralph Lauren cause I was convinced I liked the fit enough to pay for them. After they would fall apart in 6 months, I found Levis fit just fine.

JustErin said:

You're lucky. I don't have any "great jeans". I've tried on ones that are great, but they generally start at about $200 and I won't pay that. The ones I have I've spent $30-60 on and are passable, but I have to wear with certain tops and just generally I don't like wearing them anyway. I can see the difference in style and cuts. But everybody's got a different body type.

Mars23 said:

I like levis too.

JustErin said:

I agree..I bought a pair before I left the states for $35. I probably will not buy another pair of jeans until I visit the states again. I am not paying $100 for a pair of jeans.

I know...I am told that I am tighter than a lobsters ass.

horatio said:

Levi's fit me the best. The strange thing is that I bought a pair of Levis and then a few months later I bought the same cut/style/size Levis because the other pair fit me so well. The 2nd pair fit me completely different through the thigh area??


Levis are way too expensive here though.

I'm still wearing jeans i bought 10 years sgo,

They must need a wash about now

shanti0608 said:

I think mine didn't last long cause they had a few of those tiny pre-worn holes in them. Im thinking about taking them and getting them patched, cause they look all comfy worn now. Its a shame to throw them out.

shanti0608 said:

They've got that ripped/faded look people pay hundreads for

liberation said:

I know it is crazy..some of the jeans in the stores look like they came out of the Good Will bin with dirty on them...

$100?! I don't think I've ever spent more than $50 on jeans

evenstar said:

Me too..and my Old Navy ones.

shanti0608 said:

Don't you just feel like a pair of Hush Puppies trying to get away from the Flea Market? Grunge-Style Jeans "ROCK!!!"

MoniGram said:

Woot! Me too!

jess555ja said:

while I do believe you pay for quality, some shit is ridiculously overpriced just so the wearer can say, "I paid $300.00 for these jeans."...the same jeans will be at TJ Maxx next year for $15.00...

MoniGram said:

Another favorite is New York and Company. I hate getting my jeans hemmed so I have to find jeans that come in short/petite and I also HATE low rise jeans. I can find my petite, mid-rise jeans there for $50 and less

jess555ja said:

I have heard of this brand too. I don't like low rise either. That is why I stick with Levis and Old Navy Sweetheart jeans. They fit me just the way I like! So..who cares if they only cost me 30-60 bucks. If something works...why change it?

I'll never pay over 40 dollars for them.

my denim runs between $60-95 (Polo, Kenneth Cole, DKNY, G by Guess)...but I did see a pair that I at the Neiman Marcus outlet store that were on sale from $295 to $145...drew the line on that.....

I've had a pair of jeans that cost over 200€ (around 300$)
The best, and most comfortable, pair of jeans I've ever had.

I've heard this argument for ages. And honestly, I used to be a pretty loud voice in arguing it too. But I've thought about this a lot, and now I really think the whole thing is baseless bullshit. Women pick out our clothes because of how they make us feel, and not what it does to men? Right -so when we're in the dressing room squeezing our butts into skintight jeans that accentuate our curves and play down our lumps n bumps, but are goddamned uncomfortable to wear -as all tighter fitting jeans are -it's because it makes us feel great about ourselves. When we totter around town on 5 inch heels that force our posture to change, thrusting out our asses and tits, it's because it makes us feel great. When we jam our boobies into unnatural positions courtesy of push-up bras, it's because it makes us feel great. When we smear our mouths with gobs of sticky lipstick and gooey lip gloss that tastes awful and fucks up our food, in an effort to mimic sexually aroused labia, it's because it makes us feel great. When we leave our coats open in cold weather to display our tits or off completely for the same reason, it's because it makes us feel great.


Don't get me wrong, I love dressing up. I'd wear dresses and heels every day if I could. But I have no problem admitting it's to make people look. If women were to be honest and really choose clothes based on how it makes us feel, we'd have our comfy sweaters and pj pants on 24/7.
