5 High-Quality Denim Brands That Look Designer But Cost Under-$200

While I'm a big fan of Khaite and Toteme jeans, filling my closet with these $300-500 pairs would be a costly endeavor, so I balance things out with more affordable denim. And honestly, I've found that my jeans from the more affordable brands are some of the most worn in my closet.
I've tried more affordable denim brands in my life than I have the time to list, but I will say that not all are created equal, as I'm sure you know. I've tried plenty of duds, but none of them have been from the brands I'm here to talk about today, all of which offer the bulk (or all) of their denim collections for under-$200.
There's a good chance you're already familiar with these popular brands I'm highlighting, but if you're like me, you have denim on the brain again with fall approaching. Therefore, I'm just offering up a little reminder that these brands excel at affordable jeans, and I chose the best current pairs to shop. Scroll to do so.
Just like everything Reformation makes, its jeans definitely get the "cool girl" stamp of approval. It offers both classic and forward styles that reflect the latest denim trends, so there's truly something for everyone.
The hype about Madewell denim is real—trust me. I started wearing it probably a decade ago. Whether you're going for comfort, a vintage look, trendier styles, or the basics, you're likely to find it among Madewell's denim selection. (Bonus: Its size range is one of the best on the market.)
If you haven't tried & Other Stories' denim yet, I can say from experience that you're missing out. Most pairs are under $100 and the quality is shockingly good. If you prefer "quiet luxury" denim, this is the brand for you, as its styles are devoid of labels.
Another very popular, very well-priced denim brand is Everlane. The unique thing about Everlane is that it offers many of its styles in varying lengths. Take a look at the glowing reviews if you need convincing about the fit and quality of its denim range.
COS's variety of denim styles isn't massive, but you'll find that subtle takes on all of the essential trends during a given season are represented, and in a variety of washes.
