You want super-flattering jeans that don’t cost more than $50, right? Of course you do. Heck–you probably even want them for under $25. Whoa there, partner. Our denim experts have rounded up the absolute best brands for cheap jeans–and yes, they start at $27 and yes they make your booty look *amazing*. Here they are:

1. Old Navy

Old Navy jeans feature technology like Built-In Sculpt shape, smoothing Lycra Beauty fiber and 360° stretch technology that make them supremely flattering–from $35. Shop now:

"Old Navy High-Rise Built-In Sculpt Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans for Women"

2. J D Williams

Just because a brand is affordable doesn’t mean they take a cookie cutter approach to denim. “Cut is of the utmost importance for our women, which is why we don’t take a one size fits all approach,” Maria Blanchard, International Product Manager of J D Williams exclusively tells SheFinds. “We carry a range of designs, styles and sizes so that every woman can feel catered to.” And yes, they’re all under $50.

4. Volcom

Why are Volcom’s jeans, which often cost as little as $34, so flattering? Abbe Allen, Global Senior Designer of Volcom, breaks it down for us by style:

"Volcom Stone Jeans"

Volcom Vol Stone Jeans ($38.99)

“This is our Girlfriend fit, a sexier version of the “mom” jean,” Abbe explains. “It features a high-rise waist with a fitted rear, as well as a body-skimming knee to leg opening.”

"Volcom Liberator Legging"

Volcom Liberator Leggings ($34.99, down from $59.50)

“This is our skinniest fit. It has a low-rise waist and slightly higher back,” which are universally flattering, Abbe says.

5. Diane Gilman

She’s not known as “The Jean Queen” for no reason. Diane’s denim is cut for the every woman and comes in a forever-forgiving stretch.

"DG2 by Diane Gilman Virtual Stretch Skinny Jean"

DG2 by Diane Gilman Virtual Stretch Skinny Jean ($49.90)

“These will be the most conforming, soft and comfortable jean you’ve ever had on your body,” Diane exclusively tells SheFinds. “These jeans stretch, the fabric has softness and recovery with shaping for a real woman’s body. You’ve got the most flattering jean you’ve ever owned!”

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Shop more denim styles our editors LOVE under $50:
