The French Girl–Inspired Jeans One WWW Editor Claims "Look So Expensive" Are on Sale—Run
Some people love splurging on shoes, but I love investing in quality denim. Just last week, I treated myself to Khaite's Abigail Jeans. That said, my bank account doesn't always allow for such grand purchases, so I frequently look for the best affordable denim styles.
Recently, my colleague Sierra Mayhew, a fashion editor at Who What Wear, took to Instagram to rave about Abercrombie & Fitch's low-rise baggy jeans. These jeans, which are currently marked down, instantly caught my attention, so I knew this was an opportunity worth exploring.

I wasted no time messaging Mayhew for her expert opinion. "I have quite a few pairs of jeans stashed away in my closet," she revealed, "but I've been living in the Abercrombie low-rise baggy jeans lately, and they're only $60." She made a compelling case, adding, "That might sound a bit wild coming from someone who owns several pairs priced at $300, but these jeans fit me just perfectly."

Curious about the allure of these jeans, I probed further. "What makes them so special?" I asked. Mayhew responded, "I love that they fit perfectly above the hips. I’ve even had to size up in my belts to accommodate this style, but it’s worth it. I've been wearing them every day with a cozy sweater and a statement belt, and I encourage you to do the same."
I was easily swayed by her enthusiasm, so I made the purchase and felt compelled to share this chic find with others. If you, too, can be influenced by an excellent style recommendation, keep reading. I've compiled a selection of the said low-rise jeans that are currently on sale. Pro tip: Mayhew suggests sizing up if you want that extra-baggy look.
