Best Affordable Jeans in 2021

As ubiquitous as jeans have become they may seem unsuspiciously similar on first take: just a few different washes, rips here or there; jeans are just jeans, right? They go with everything, no matter the price tag you can’t go wrong. Not exactly true. An ill-fitting pair of jeans has the ability to ruin an otherwise perfectly balanced outfit. Your nice sweater, cool sneakers, or cozy jacket may quickly be rendered unsuccessful without the proper matching denim. However, this doesn’t mean you have to spend $400 on Japanese raw selvage jeans to avoid dodgy denim. Budget retailers have enough fits, washes and styles at their disposal to make sure the trousers you live in on the weekend don’t sabotage your style. Here are our top picks for affordable jean brands that combine great style with unbeatable value:

Asos - One of the biggest selections of financially friendly jeans, ASOS is our go-to store for trendy fits that don’t break your budget and allow you to try a few different styles for the same price you’d pay for a single pair elsewhere, without compromising in quality!

Carhartt - Sometimes we need jeans made from tougher stuff. In keeping with its reputation for producing durable, functional workwear, Carhartt’s collection of robust jeans is our first port of call for styles that will stand up to some rough and tumble.

Diesel - You can always depend on the masters of Italian modern tailoring, Diesel has always been a denim powerhouse and for a good reason: a huge selection of denim to suit any man's style, offered in our marketplace at great discount prices.

Madewell - Perhaps best known for its denim, some of their jeans are made sustainably (as of 2021, 58% of their denim is Fair Trade). Their denim factory recycles 98% of its water, uses alternative energy, and air dries its jeans. Being sustainable doesn't mean prohibitive pricepoints; Madewell makes that point very well indeed.
