I love jeans, but hate shopping for them. Walk into Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue and you can easily find jeans that are more than $200. There are so many different brands and cuts, it can be confusing. A girl can get discouraged easily. As a new season approaches, take matters into your own hands and take a look at five very affordable and stylish jeans.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of Levi’s. The original denim brand, Levi’s has been making jeans for more than 150 years. For a casual look, I like the Levi’s Mid-Rise Boot 553 Jean. Since the Bella color is the perfect medium dark, you can wear these jeans during the day or during the night. The classic boot cut works well with both heels and sneakers. Available at Levi’s, $59.50 in Bella.

If you want to wear a skinny jean that has ample coverage, consider Old Navy’s High Rise “The Goddess” Skinny Jean. The dark rinse makes it the perfect pair of jeans for going out. Wear with towering stilettos or with a knee-high boots. Since it isn’t a low rise jean, you won’t have to keep pulling-up your pants every few minutes or worry what may show when you bend down. Available at Old Navy, $34.50.

Trouser jeans offer a great silhouette and replace the traditional dress pant when you want to kick your look up a notch. Forever 21′s Dante Trouser Denim is perfect with flats and a flowy top. Available at Forever 21, $29.90.

Get nautical with XOXO’s Lightweight High-waisted Sailor Jean. These are the go-to jeans for casual Fridays at work. Made from cotton and spandex, you won’t have to worry if you eat a heavy lunch — the jeans will stretch and move with you. Available at Macy’s, $29.99 (on sale).

When you don’t have anywhere special to go and just want to lounge at home with the newspaper or a magazine, kick back with Gap’s Curvy Trouser Jean. The patch pockets in the back will minimize your backside if you’re curvy or enhance it if you’re not blessed with curves. Flared leg openings and stretch denim complement flip flops or sneakers. Extremely comfortable and forgiving. Available at Gap, $59.50.

Embrace your body and your wallet — there are jeans out there just for you and for your budget!
