What's the most you've ever spent on Jeans?

I spent £65 on a pair of FCUK jeans about 18 months ago, because I really liked the design on the pockets. I felt like I shouldn't be spending that much though.

I was just wondering what the average is?

that's pretty much average for brand jeans, though topshop are cheaper . the most i've ever spent is about £60

I have two pairs of Oasis Amber jeans £42(I think that's what they're called). They're quite good, you just know that your size will fit exactly and that the zip won't fall down. They are GOOD jeans imo but I guess they aren't Wag jeans!

Whatever they cost in Next 4 years ago when I bought two pairs!
I go there because I'm size 6-8 and 5'2 and they always have a choice of styles to fit.
Everywhere else they are just too long and that's if I can get them small enough round the waist.

Probably about £40 but now they range from £8 in tesco to £25 or less in a next sale. £65 would get me shoes, jeans, a top and a chinese on way back from the shope these days easily and possibly some new non sexy pants as well!

I spent £150 on two pairs of jeans from French connection, can't remember how much they were individually but I felt really bad about it. I also got one pair because I loved the pattern on the pockets! They fit very well and are flattering, haven't gone out of shape etc but I also bought two pairs for £16 (for both) in Ethel Austen and have worn those more as I'm not worried about paint etc getting on them. I have had compliments when wearing the cheaper ones too as they are a lovely colour(I know they are jeans but they are a nice inky blue) and fit quite well.

I only buy Diesel jeans as they have excellent sizing for my rather small size....so they cost £100 + but are worn a LOT and until they come apart.

I had a pair of Armani jeans once and they looked great and lasted ages, were worth the money - paid about 150 GBP over 15 years ago. Since then and having dc I couldn't afford to spend that much on a pair of jeans. If you can though, it's worth it.

£160 Paige jeans - swear by them, although I got pregnant 6 months after buying them, and DS is 1 yr old and I still can't fit into them!

Prob only about £65.

I like Great Plains jeans and I love Dorothy Perkins jeans, they are a bargain and they fit me like a dream.

Next jeans are HIDEOUS on me, so are Topshop. They make my arse look big, flat and square (it's not !)

Dh says he will buy me some rock and republic jeans. Went to have a look at some, I only liked them because one pair had a lovely design on pockets too (not the crown) but at £430 I could get a whole outfit for that.
