This company proves you don't need to spend more than $60 on a great pair of jeans by Amir Ismael on Jan 31, 2018, 6:01 PM The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase. 
I've been known to spend a lot of money on clothing or shoes if it's something I really want, but one thing I refuse to pay a lot for is jeans. Don't get me wrong, I love jeans. I wear them during the week in the office, when casually running errands on the weekend, working on my cars, and even dressing up — basically anywhere outside of the gym or a completely formal setting.
Since jeans are such a big part of my wardrobe, I've accumulated dozens many pairs in search for the best one. But because there's so much to consider: comfort, durability, style (including washes), and affordability, it's harder than you might think. Then I tried a $60 pair from Topman. Topman is a British menswear brand that's been around since 1978, so it knows a thing or two about what men look for in apparel. I'm extremely critical when it comes to jeans, so Topman sent over a few pairs for me to test out. In short, they're some of the best jeans I've ever worn. The first thing I noticed was their stretchiness, there's enough give that you'll be comfortable and have your full range of motion whether you get a pair in slim, skinny, or spray on (their skinniest fit.) There's no break in time, like I've experience with other jeans, and the button fly is a nice touch, since zippered ones are more prone to break. But you don't have to sacrifice style for the sake of comfort, Topman recognizes style is subjective, so you can find a simple pair of blue jeans or skin-tight biker jeans if you'd like. Finally, the value of these jeans is outstanding, cheaper options exist, but you'd be hard pressed to find better denim at this price. Spending the $60 now can actually save you money, since these jeans will last longer than your typical budget pair. Read my specific thoughts on two pairs I tried, below. Stretch Skinny Jeans  Instead of coming in the typical waist and inseam measurements, Topman's Jeans are sized by the waist followed by short, regular, or long for the legs. I went with a 30R, which translates to 30x32. I assume short and long translate to 30 and 34, respectively. The first pair I tried was the Powder Blue Stretch Skinny Jeans. When I first saw them, I thought these jeans would be way too tight, but I was wrong. I'm a pretty slim guy, but I find certain skinny jeans to be uncomfortable because they limit my range of motion. What I like most about this pair is that they're very comfortable for skinny jeans. Since it's cold in New York City during the winter, I like to wear a layer of thermals under my jeans. I was able to do that, which makes this pair of skinny jeans even more impressive. This is the perfect fit for wearing with low-top sneakers.

In my opinion, they have more of a faded black look than grey. Nevertheless, they're a great color that can be worn with almost anything. Because of my style preferences, I prefer the slim fit over skinny. If you're looking for a fit that's a bit more relaxed, the Stretch Slim jeans are ideal.
