The First Snow of the Season + Jeans That I Love Under $100

Jacket – Madewell (old but similar here, here and this one is on major sale) | Sweater – Shopbop | Jeans – Levi’s | Scarf – Eugenia Kim (similar here) | Hat – Janessa Leone | Bag – Mansur Gavriel | Boots – 3.1 Phillip Lim (similar here and here)

Well technically this was the second snow of the season, but that title didn’t sound as appealing. LOL I had wanted to put together this post highlighting the jeans in my closet that I love which are all under $100, but when we left to go take these photos it was snowing so I had to grab a parka as we were leaving. Sadly my parka does cover part of my jeans which is why I took it off for some of the photos (#doitforthepic), but I will also link to previous posts of me wearing these Levi’s so you can see them styled in other ways (see we wearing them here, here and here).

I love to splurge on designer denim but I have found so many great pairs under $100 over the past year that I thought I would feature them all in one post. It’s pretty obvious that I prefer distressed denim because I like the contrast it can create in an outfit. A skinny silhouette is what I typically buy, though one of these is a slimmer boyfriend style and I love them!

I probably wear these Topshop jeans the most because they come with a shorter inseam which I always need! The fit is comfortable, the black never fades and the rips are quite subtle which makes them ideal for dressing up. This is actually my second pair of these jeans in black because I didn’t want to be without a backup!

I discovered these Free People jeans this past summer and was obsessed with them! The way they hug the ankle is absolutely perfect and I didn’t need to alter them at all. They come in a few different washes, and I have been contemplating getting them in more colors because they are so flattering.

I bought these gray jeans from Nordstrom right after Miles was born because I needed something to fit into immediately but didn’t want to spend a ton. I grabbed these on sale for under $35 and the quality is fantastic! They were sadly a bit too long so I cut them a few inches, threw them in the wash to fray the hem a bit and that made them perfect. The entire STS blue line has some of the best jeans for great prices – this is actually my second pair I have bought from the brand (this pair was the other one).

These BlankNYC jeans are the slim boyfriend style I was talking about earlier that I find so flattering. The acid wash finish is not for everyone, but I liked it as something different in my wardrobe. And these ended up being too long as well, but looked great when cuffed so I didn’t have to cut them. I prefer the hem of my jeans to be slim and hug the ankle more which I find looks better on my frame and elongates my leg. Most boyfriend style jeans are too loose at the ankle and can make me look boxy, which is why these were such a hit with me. They gave me a slightly slouchy look without the baggy ankle conundrum I always face.

In addition to these, I rounded up a few more that I have had my eye on and feel are worth checking out. Scroll through the widget below to see all my picks!
