Not expensive? Only $40. In this economy, $40 is a huge expense for one pair of jeans. Stop falling for just a name. Buy local or store brands and put the cash saved to better use.

I agree with Mr. Taylor. $40 for jeans. I would never pay that. I feel reckless if I pay over $20. The funny thing is a lot of these jeans, expensive and cheap, come from the same factories in asia somewhere. Save your money.

Like $40 isn't a lot for a pair of jeans? I can see why there are some people believe the recession is over. The jeans with the 'hole' look is way over-rated. Just rip a pair of your old jeans up and wear them. At least you won't have to drop a bundle of money on them. And why is it that some people look down on poor or homeless people who can't dress nicely? A bit of twisted thinking there.

There are a few places I purchased jeans recently... Places I've never been to before.. I have shopped at Victoria Secret for bras and panties, but never regular clothes, until I went to their web site! They have the best fitting jeans and very close to real size.. Also, Old Navy is great too. I also bought jeans at a shoe store on line, but they did have some clothes for sale too.

I think all of these jeans are completely over priced. I DO buy jeans from these stores (i just wait until there on sale) i think $20 max for a pair of jeans. UNLESS they are dark denim or something dressy.

Michelle Obama does NOT have a great sense of style! Are people blind?

Seven ads for garbage, before getting to ACTUAL comments.
AOL doing poor job of weeding out the BS.

$40.00 for jeans is expensive.
For jeans that still look like they were pulled from a dumpster.

I'm 19 and I know a local store that sells fashionable jeans for 20 dollars or less. I mean, these jeans could give Abercrombie a run for their money, they are so darn cute.
40 bucks is a lot of money for only one pair!

Even I don't buy big name brands unless they are on clearance. Shop smart = get more! :)

ummm none of them are cute. none of them look expensive. forty dollars? That's not even worth it

Thank you AOL for taking my advice and doing an article about jeans that are $40 and under! Who wants to pay designer prices when there are better options out there. AE has jeans under $40 and so does Kohl's. I love Vigoss and Bongo b/c I got a fat lil bubble but and slim hips. It's hard to find a pair that don't flair out at the hips and still fit in the but and thighs!

So AOL publishes stories about $200 designer jeans and everyone complains. Then they publish a story about $40 jeans, and everyone still complains. REALLY people?! Sure we all have our preferences and budgets but jeans are an investment...a good pair will fit you well and last for YEARS. $40 is CHEAP if you think about it that way. While I don't know if I'd pay even that much for Forever 21 or some of the above brands, don't judge by price alone - do your research and find a good pair that works for YOU that will stand the test of time, and realize that you do get what you pay for in most cases!

Jane, No people aren't blind when saying Mrs. Obama has style. You however, are racist which is much worse than being blind!

$40 is very expensive for one pair of jeans! I never spend over $25 and the jeans I get are just fine. You people must live in a different world.

You don't think $40. is expensive? Buy a pair and send them to me. I buy my clothes at a thrift shop. Never spent that much for a pair of jeans in my life.

OH PLEASE......we are RACIST when saying that M. Obama usually wears ugly or strange outfits????? What in the heck does an opinion about her not being a "fashionista" have to do with being racist? That is so old and out of place, that you would have to be a true racist to even think of it!! When so many of the headlines are always touting how beautifully she selects her clothes and how great she looks in them, how do you propose that we who disagree with that statement express it? Those strange little cardigan sweaters opened up and then with a belt way up under the usual bustline are truly an egregious fashion statement, as are all the argyle-type patterns she wears constantly, and many of the unflattering outfits that she puts together on a regular basis. I have the right to comment when I disagree, so knock off the RACIST BS.....I don't care if she were lily-white, I still think that when she does pick a really nice garment, it's like she must have made a mistake because of her usual selections!!!!
