Besides being perfect for casual wear, this pair of Levi’s is really durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. The material is thicker than jeans made with a higher percentage of polyester and spandex, making them sturdier and less prone to thinning. They’re available in sizes 23-32 and multiple inseams. Promising review: “I’m so happy I tried these! I actually bought a size larger than I normally get in my Levi’s, and it was a good call because these are definitely a structured, thick and non-stretch denim. I can see these being a staple all summer long! With a bodysuit or a T-shirt! I have a pretty short torso, so these are very high on me, but I love it! The butt pockets are slightly angled in a V-shaped to make your booty look better! I can’t complain.” — Chelsea
Since skinny jeans are made to fit tight, it helps when the fabric has some stretch to it, which is exactly what shoppers love about this pair. They have a hidden elastic waistband, which keeps them from feeling tight around the tummy. Get them in sizes 2-16.Promising review: “Super comfortable, especially at the waist! Great staple item to have in your closet that can go with any top!” — Jane
Lucky is another brand known for their high-quality jeans and you can snag this pair for just $35. The four-button fly is a stylish detail and they’re perfect for daytime, casual wear. The wash gets a little lighter around the knees, making them look like your worn-in favorites, which they surely will be soon. Get them in waist sizes 24-38, and in multiple lengths.Promising review: “I really like these a lot. Have gotten many compliments. They are really skinny and tapered at the ankle so I know that they are harder to get on and off. There’s very little stretch to them. Sizing was true for me but they are a tiny bit snug. Still, I would not want to go up a size.” — Alison H Piazza
Dark wash jeans, like this pair, are a wardrobe must. You can wear them with either a basic tee or a dressy top and know it works. Shoppers who have this pair and left reviews love the look and feel of these jeans: soft, stretchy and foolproof. Get them in sizes 0-20 and in multiple lengths.Promising review: “I just got my second pair of these Amazon Essentials skinny curvy jeans, and am amazed at their fit and quality for such a low price! They are every bit as good as the name brand I usually wear (when I could find them). They have a true high waist, hug my hips and legs nicely, but are still comfortable around my thicker waist without any ‘muffin top.’ My only possible negative is that the two different colors I got fit slightly differently, but still fine. The lighter color is a tad tighter and less stretchy than the darker blue ones. I highly recommend these and will be getting more. For reference, I am 5’4″, 158 lbs, thicker waist, thin legs.” — Kindle customer
What makes this pair of skinny jeans a stand-out is that they have the perfect amount of distress; enough to get that laidback, cool girl look but not so much that it looks sloppy. Choose from 10 different colors of denim, from light blue to black and sizes S-3XL.Promising review: “I ordered the light ones first and love them. The waistband is the best I have had. It does not mark my mom belly but also feels secure. The pants hug me without being tight. This darker wash is a little looser in the knee area than the light wash, but they are not baggy. I love the way my bottom looks in them and I can get two wears with no stretching in between washes. I am 178 lbs 5 ‘4″, the large fits perfectly.” — Jessy F

Customers who left reviews say they really are durable and look great too.Promising review: “These pants are perfect. They fit very nicely, soft material, just the right amount of stretch. And I really like the skinny jeans legs. Very flattering. I’m going to buy another pair!” — Rebecca D.
