Fashion Math: A Pair Of Anna Wintour-Endorsed J Brand Jeans Is Worth The Investment

J Brand is the hottest denim line out right now. Although the brand is only five-years-old, every celeb imaginable wears the jeans (Rihanna and Khloe Kardashian own the same pair), and even Anna Wintour name-checked the must-have denim line at the beginning of The September Issue.  I happen to own a pair, and believe me, the buzz is for good reason. J Brand jeans fit like a glove, they don’t stretch out throughout the day, and they feel good on the first wear and beyond–you don’t need to break these jeans in.  But I also understand that $159 for a pair of jeans is a major investment and I would only justify the purchase by doing the fashion math.  Let’s crunch the numbers:

If you wear these J Brand Blue Label Curvy Fit Scarlett Cigarette Jeans ($159) three times out of the week for seven months, they cost less than a dozen of eggs. These jeans will be a go-to that you can dress up for work (or casual Fridays), wear out at night, and on the weekends. Don’t let the skinny celb endorsements fool you, J Brand’s Blue Label Curvy Fit jeans hug your natural curves and have a slimming contoured waist band that will prevent muffin top on all body types.
