High Vs. Low: Cool Jeans
Submitted by The Budget Fashionista on October 3, 2007 – 9:11 am3 Comments
The Challenge: A great pair of jeans is always in style, but paying too much for them is not. One pair shown here will have you looking fly with a few bucks to spare; the other will have you scraping change from the couch cushions for the rest of the week. So, which is which?
The Answer: The pair on the left, from Acne Jeans, will cost you—$249, to be precise. On the right? Levi’s from Urban Outfitters, a comfortable $49, online only.
I love jeans, and for me, it’s worth paying the high price tag for a good pair. When I get a new favorite pair of jeans, I basically wear them every day for months at a time, so I dont mind shelling out 200 bones or so.
That would have been my guess. The guy on the left can’t afford shoes or even a shirt–he must be overpaying for jeans!
Figured it was that. The guy on the left doesn’t have shoes or a shirt on because he can afford to roll like that. also, the pair on the right look like low-end Levi’s.
