Admittedly, the last few jeans I've bought have been skinny jeans that are too short and I just pretend I'm going for the cropped look.

Seriously, whatever I can get at Salvation Army or Goodwill. They're like $5 and there are literally hundreds of pairs which have already been preshrunk so I KNOW they'll fit after washing. Most of them are in perfect shape or have the casually worn look. You can't go wrong for $5 either.

I buy a different brand every time I buy jeans.

I liked the LL Cool J jeans that used to be in the Juniors dept at Sears.

The last jeans I bought were the l.e.i. brand at Walmart.

Other brands I like at dept stores:
Hydraulic
American Rag

Designer jeans tend to be longer than standard brands, which is how I have several pairs of 7 for all mankind jeans at about $40 bucks a pop.
For me, mainly Armani. They just fit great and are very flattering on me. To UE's point, I do have to hem them every single time though, being 5'4.5! I also have a couple CKs. Granted, with 'trendy' jeans (for example my colored skinnies or the 'destroyed' look), I'll buy cheaper... I know I won't be wearing them as long and don't want to shell out as much.

DH wears Armani and Boss mainly.

Most of my collection consists of Lucky Brand, Buffalo, and Michael Kors; but I have a couple Levi's and my overall collection ranges from non-specific brands to Hudson. I like having nicer jeans for the designs and fit, but others that I won't care if I ruin, or are otherwise non-descript.

FWIW, I'm not a jean snob. I have yet to pay more than $80 on a pair, and average around $30-35. Even my Hudsons were clearance.

I look for quality and how it is made not brand. I will also never display any brand names to be visable. They don't pay me to advertise.

Can't beat the quality or the price!

I don't wear jeans. They're uncomfortable to me.
