I like Old Navy/Gap jeans a lot. really anything that's baggy and doesn't have tapered legs.

tapered legs gross me out. they just look so hideous :/

American Eagle, Anchor Blue, Nautica

Go to the AE clearance rack, AB Friends and Family, and Ross/Burlington Coat factory. People who buy clothes at normal price either hate money or are materialistic.

either a loose fit or boot cut.

i just bought two pairs from old navy. one's dirty looking at the other is pretty dark blue.

nothing baggy anymore, since i'm no longer 16 years old. i don't really care about brand name...as long as they look nice and fit well.

Old Navy is good for cheap decent quality stuff. American Eagle jeans are insanely comfortable, but not worth the price. (got mine on clearance) Gap is pretty comfy too, but again, not worth paying full price for. I actually just bought a pair of painter's jeans from Old Navy which are very very comfortable and only $20.

I stay away from Old Navy. I think they look like cheap crap, but that's just me.

Geerally, what jeans you prefer are dependant on what jeans fit you. If I want cheap (like..$35-40) jeans, I'll hit up Express Men. If I'm getting a nice pair that I'm going to keep for nights out or just want to splurge, there's nothing wring with Diesel

In my experience, I don't see too many people that try to make a fashion statement with old navy and are older than about 14.

I'm just going to sit here and wait for this to break down to a "people who pay more than $xxx for jeans are idiots" thread. :p

I like whatever nice used jeans Buffalo exchange has. Got some Diesels ($34), Zoo York($36), and Element ($15) ones there.

I agree with the comments that old navy jeans are kinda cheap-ish, but when you account for the fact that you can buy 2-3 pairs for what you'd pay for 1 pair of another brand, it balances out :)

I'm definitely not one of those people who wears the same pair of jeans for their entire life... by the time my old navy jeans start to tear, I'm already bored with them anyways.

Diesel makes THE best jeans but I can only afford two or three of them in a year.
Beside diesel jeans, GAP makes pretty good jeans(which I find amazing) along with Abercrombie and American Eagle.

Ralph Lauren, Costco (~$22)
They fit better than any other pair of jeans I've found.
