Here’s the funny thing about denim: It’s the item we can’t get enough of, the thing that makes up the majority of our closets, our unofficial daily uniform—yet we’re usually resistant to investing in a really expensive pair. And that’s A-okay. While designers continue to elevate the once-casual staple on the Fall runways—denim jeans and jackets brimming with floral embroidery at Vetements, toile takes at Off-White, and immaculate smoking skinnies at Saint Laurent, for starters—on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are more affordable options than ever before.

Whether you’re after a long-and-lean skinny, could-pass-for-vintage relaxed boyfriend, high-waist wide-leg, or the perfect jean jacket, you don’t need to drop serious dough on dreamy denim. We’ve curated the coolest styles under $100—from Polo pedal pushers to Zara pastel skinnies and everything in between—which means your next favorite go-to pair is just one click away. Here, the best jeans for you and your wallet’s mutual pleasure.
