- [Nina] These are kind of cool,
oh, look at the price difference.
- Um, I don't know y'all.
- I'm just really not about these strange flappy bits
of jean. - Flappy bits.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- This week, we're trying on...
- [All] Jeans!
- With jazz hands!
Jazz.
I already have jeans on so.
- Yeah.
- What's your experience like in those?
- These are great jeans.
I tried like 10 pairs on before
I could actually get any that fit.
And that's the problem.
Jeans are really hard to find that actually fit right.
- Yeah, especially because where I buy jeans now,
are in store.
Like you just said, you tried them all on.
For me, the only jeans that I would buy are all online.
- Yeah.
- And it's hard to, 'cause there's no small,
medium, large with jeans,
like there are for regular clothes.
- They throw in all these numbers
like Ls and Rs.
(all speaking over each other)
- Finding those short-people jeans is very hard.
- Well, today, so what we're going to do
is we're going to go online and we're going to try to find
the cheapest jeans that we can that we think will fit us,
and that we like, and then we're going
to have a stylist come in and she is going
to show us the bling-bling expensive jeans
and see if they're any better.
Because technically, if they're more expensive
they should fit better
and just be better quality, but who knows.
- It's interesting because I feel like when you put on jeans
you can tell the difference if they're cheap or expensive.
When you're looking at them though,
I'm like, jeans are jeans.
I couldn't tell you how much you paid for those.
- So what are you like, looking for in your
pair of jeans that you're going to try?
- One time I was at a party, and I saw this girl
wearing these jeans.
There were these big holes in the thigh.
Across the hole, the jeans had
these rhinestone string strung across, like tons of them.
- Statement jean, Nina!
- What do you want from your jeans?
- Most of all of my pants are pretty high waisted.
I want them to be high waisted.
What I'm really searching for is to see if
more expensive jeans really do fit me better.
Even going the length that I am.
- Well for me, jeans are really hard to fit,
even though I have a pretty straight up-and-down body.
So I'm curious to see if a real brand designer name
like Gucci or Versace is actually gonna be better,
or whether you're just paying for the name.
Well, let's go on the Internets.
- Internets.
- Join in.
- Get on the web. (laughing)
(upbeat music)
- I think a lot of different types of statement jeans,
sometimes there's like fringe,
but maybe it might be easier for me to
narrow down to like, something shiny.
- Finding inexpensive jeans may be one thing,
finding inexpensive jeans in my size,
that's the thing.
I'm gonna look at Fashion Nova.
People say a lot of good things about Fashion Nova.
- I think the safest thing is to start
on Forever 21, because I've got some of their jeans.
I don't know if they're the cheapest.
- [Nina] Sequin jeans, These are interesting.
These are kinda cool.
Oh look at the price difference.
- [Jazz] These are all right.
The prices are actually decent.
- [Chloe] I think I'm just going to try,
like, a sale jeans.
Well, that was not very successful.
There is not a single pair of jeans
apart from these and uh, no.
- [Nina] These Amazon jeans are like, kinda cool,
it's not quite what I was imagining.
They feel a little more disco ball than
I think I was going to go for.
- [Jazz] I found these jeans, About $40.
I'm interested in the colors.
They don't have a sale.
Let's see if I can find a sale.
- [Chloe] These ones look cute.
They're like the closest thing to something I would wear.
They're high rise, like.
They're $17.43, I don't think that's that cheap.
- What if I do "fringy jean"?
This is not what I mean.
But these, they're not that expensive.
Oh, but there's nothing on the back.
- [Jazz] I found these jeans.
They are light wash and high waisted skinny jeans.
That sounds about how I would like them.
There's 40% off, so that means I can get
these jeans for like, under 30.
- [Chloe] So I just Googled cheap jeans
and this came up.
These are good prices.
They don't look very good quality.
I can tell just by looking at them.
- They almost look like a skirt vibe,
which you'd want it to go all the way around in the back.
- I have bought things from this site before,
and I usually have to size up,
so I'm going to get a 22, I'm nervous.
But these are what I'm gonna go with.
(cash register ring)
- [Chloe] I really like these ones that look too cheap.
The only thing is that they only do junior sizes.
I think I'm a five.
I clicked the size chart and it doesn't show up anywhere.
- I think I'm gonna have to go with
these sequin Amazon jeans.
They get the vibe that I'm going for.
Most of the complaints seem to be that they are too small.
All right, I have sized up.
Add to cart. (cash register ring)
- [Chloe] I don't think I'm gonna find
a better price than this,
so I'm just going to go for it.
(upbeat music)
- [in Unison] They're here!
(bang)
- Yours are very sparkly.
- I mean just looking at these,
these are Nina jeans to me.
They don't look like they'll be super tight on you,
which I don't really see you in anyway.
- I definitely wanted something a little more relaxed.
These were $34. - Okay.
- I've bought jeans for much cheaper
than that in general, but I think
because of what I was looking for, which was like
statement jeans, it was something I kind of
couldn't get away from.
- Ummmm, I dunno, y'all.
I'm worried, They feel cheap.
- They're very thin. - Yeah.
- I mean, is this even denim?
- I think it's something like
that jeggy material, isn't' it?
- There's just nothing to them, These were $25.
I still think that's a lot, bit of a stretch honestly.
- Yeah, they should be better quality if they're that price.
- I (bleep) up, Mine are children's sized.
It might be a case of getting one leg in them.
- One leg is more than no legs.
- I'm worried for you, Chloe.
- I'm trying to stretch them right now.
- How much were they?
- They were only $12. - Okay.
- I've got what I paid for, clearly.
- Go try 'em on. - I guess I will.
I'll be the guinea pig.
- Good luck! (laughter)
- Come out! - Okay!
- Oooooo!
- They fit, They do!
- They definitely do! - They actually fit.
I mean They're very tight.
But, the waist was more giving than I thought.
- Oh, you've got a lot of room.
- It is like this part for some reason is looser
which is where I like it loose.
But then they are, if you feel that,
they are very tight on there, but I mean, they're stretchy,
so it really doesn't matter.
- Can you move? - I can.
I would wear these in everyday life I think.
- They're good jeans. - Yeah, yeah, they're good.
- I mean, they fit on my butt.
They fit everywhere
because they're so tight, you're like (click).
So I'm pretty impressed, for $12,
these are really actually good.
I want to see if you have as much luck.
- Yeah, I want to see the sparkles.
- Let's see, okay.
- Yay.
- Here I am. - Ooooo, okay, these are cute.
They're a little bit tighter
than I thought they were gonna be.
- Yeah, They fit fine, but it's one of those things.
Sometimes jean waistbands feel harder versus stretchier.
I can move them around, but they're a lot more resistant.
And I think what's a little bit difficult about that
is that the fit of the jean is loose otherwise.
- Yeah, 'cause I think with these the vibe
is to not have them be like disco pants.
You want them to be, like, slouchy.
- Yeah, and you remember I sized up.
They're running really small, which again
is like the difficulty of buying jeans online.
I think it's weird that there
is nothing in the back.
- I personally don't. - I mean, I think it
looks deliberate, I don't think it's like
- Here, let me do one of these for you.
- Okay, thanks. - Get used to it.
- I think it would be weird if they
were on the back. - Yeah?
- Yeah, you have to sit!
- One thing that I also think is cool
at this lower price point is that
the sequins feel secure, which is not always
the case with buying sequin things from the internet.
- Yeah, they're not like, glued on,
they're at least sewed on. - I like it, alright.
- Well, we have one person left.
- Me! - Oh, you.
- Um, all right. - J-J-J-Jazz! (horn blast)
- I'm not coming out to that. (giggling)
- Please come out, Jasmine. (giggling)
- Jasmine, please enter.
- Oh, there's some jeans.
- They are jeans. - I think I was expecting
a lot worse from them. - So was I, to be honest.
- They look decent. - They're too short.
- And they're wide and short. - I hate it!
- Yeah, if I was younger and thought that
this was the only thing that was out there
for somebody with my size, I would be perfectly happy.
I know there are better jeans out there
at this time in my life.
I will say, though, if you like,
have a budget, these were 25 bucks,
they're jeans, they get the job done.
- They're serviceable.
- Just know that this isn't all you have.
- I will say at least they are actually high-waisted.
- I'mvery surprised.
Of course, I'm paying for it with them being to my ankles,
but you can cover that up with a cuff.
I can put my sock over it, I can do whatever.
- All right, so I guess let's bring in Taylor.
- I want to see what treats she has for us.
- Oh yes.
(upbeat music)
- [All] Hello, Taylor! - Hi, guys.
- Good to see you. - You too.
All right, denim, I love jeans.
And you guys are in yours from earlier.
These are your cheap pairs. - What do you think
of our cheaps? - Okay, honestly
for being a cheap pair that you bought online, not bad!
- They're not terrible.
- No, no, I do think the fabric on yours
is probably the cheapest looking just right off the bat.
- No I agree. - However the fit is good.
Nina, I think yours has a pretty good jean look.
The stitching is what really throws me.
The white stitching, Do you all see that?
- Like these here? - Yeah.
- I did not notice that. - Ewww.
- Interesting, See, stylist.
- And then Chloe, honestly I think out of the three
of these is probably my favorite pair.
I think you can get away with it the easiest.
Are you okay? - Excuse us! (giggling)
- How much do you think she paid for them?
- I think they look more than you
probably ended up paying for them.
- Give us a price. - $12.
- They were $12. - No, not $12 exactly.
- Did you just-- - No I just made that up.
- You're a jean whisperer.
- So what did you bring for us?
- Okay, I brought you so many fine jeans to try.
Chloe I brought you some Valentino jeans.
- Oh, fancy, Look at the V!
- The logo plus them being darker
reminds me of like, 2000s.
You know when that was like a thing?
- Yes, minus the fact that they are not
super low-rise, like Paris Hilton era.
These are $990.
Pre-tax.
- I legitimately didn't know
you could even get jeans at that price.
Like, I thought you'd maybe find
something like the 300 range.
- I mean you can. - Went for $900.
- But I wanna see 'em on you.
- Yeah, off I go. - Go give them a try.
- All right, Chloe, let's see you jeans!
- I wanna see them jeans!
- Ooo, Okay!
- Mmm hmm. (giggling)
- You hate them.
- I appreciate the fact that they're designer
and I completely get that denim is beautiful,
like it's so soft.
I love the color.
I'm just really not about the mid-rise
and then these strange flappy bits.
- Flappy bits - of jean.
It's just they're not tight enough at the bottom.
They almost flare out right at the end.
- It's a slight flare, huh?
- Which is a little strange.
- I love the logo on the butt,
I think they fit really nicely,
it's like a nice worn-in look, it's very soft.
I don't love the style myself.
I wouldn't buy them for myself
personally after seeing them on you.
- What we had been speaking about before
where, can you really tell from afar
versus what you feel inside them.
I do think you can tell from afar
that they're nicer, just from like, the little button.
That's what rich people have.
- This would be like a basic, for like, a rich person.
You know, where you would just build an outfit around it.
We're not looking at you for the jeans.
This would be a rich person
buying just a regular pair of jeans.
- I think the bottom line is
they're really nice jeans, they're just not my style.
We're in agreeance.
- Let's see Nina!
- Yeah Nins.
- Okay, Nina, You have a pair of jeans.
- Oh my. (giggling)
- What are they?
- This is like grunge to the next level.
- They cost $820.
I think they're really cool, They're fun, they're edgy.
- And you'll notice, no white stitching.
All right, I will go try these on.
- Okay, Nina. Let's see!
- Oh, hello!
- Hello, I'm cool now.
I asked for a statement, and these are a statement.
Like, they're an exclamation point,
they will get you noticed.
They're very comfortable.
It's raw denim so it's not stretchy,
but these have the breathable.
Not just because they're distressed
but also because they have a looser fit in the leg.
But then what I think is nicer
than my cheaper version is that kind of loose,
relaxed fit also comes into the waist area.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah you can tell.
I wanna see some, like, some big industrial chains
around your neck.
And are here, and I wanna see like your hair
in like a high pony.
- You wanna see my butt? - Yeah, show us!
- This part is, yup, that is interesting.
- This flips up, you know, in case in case
I need to be able to fake moon people
What we were talking about with
my other less expensive pair,
was like, didn't have the sequins on the back,
or really anything happening in the back.
Yeah, it doesn't have a lot going on
but it has this which means it's intentional.
- Okay, Jazz. - Jazzy.
- Gimme my dream!
- Here you go.
All right, you got a pair of Good American jeans.
- Love it.
- Priced at $180.
These are a higher end pair of jeans.
- Very much so.
- I do want to stress that, We fall into
this problem with fuller-figured.
- Always. Always.
It is hard to find clothes
in general that are expensive.
- I'm not saying I'm excited
because I hate setting myself up,
but I'm not trying to be negative, so...
- I think these look a lot more, I mean,
they're thicker but they're still stretchy.
- Oh you can tell.
- They do look nice.
- I wanna see 'em! - All right!
- It's time for Jasmine. - Jasmine in jeans.
- Here I come!
- Oh, I like these.
- Yeah, they're cute.
- I love this detail,
I'm very into it.
- This is really cute.
I dunno, it's usually a place where I feel
like people are like, "Don't look at me here!"
And this is like it's really cute.
This is like a size up than I normally wear,
and these are extremely tight.
- Oh damn, can we see the back?
- Yes, turn around. - Oh, it's my butt.
- It's so cute though, see and I love this (mumble).
I think they're super cute, I love the wash on you.
I like the rise on it, I think they're a good pair.
- Yeah, I definitely agree, I could understand
why these were a little bit more expensive.
- So I think the question remains,
which is better, Cheap or expensive?
(dramatic music)
- What do you pick? - What do I pick?
- That's okay, it won't break my heart.
- I think you know what I'm going to pick.
- That's okay, I pick it too.
- I'm gonna say my $12 pair of jeans
I literally prefer over these almost $1000 ones. I'm sorry.
- Wow. - Winner, winner.
- Ladies and gentlemen, you can really find
some cheap (beep) jeans that fit fine at Rue 21.
- I'm gonna go also with my cheap jeans.
- What, Those look great!
- These are great, but I'm thinking about it,
this I would have to go probably another size.
Those were true to size.
Material not good whatsoever.
But I'm thinking but they were on sale for $25.
- I think I'm going to have to go
with my expensive pair.
- [Jazz] I agree.
- They seem very well crafted.
Like, if you told me someone was just sitting there,
stitching this together, I'd believe you.
Everything just feels so intentional.
With the cheap pair, like yes of course they're cheaper,
and I think they were pretty sturdy for their cheapness.
But I already went up in sizing
and it was still not quite right.
And it's not the kind of thing
that you can easily fix either.
- All right, well, we tried lots of jeans
and we actually found some good ones,
so that's quite surprising.
Thanks so much, as always.
- Thanks for taking us on this jean journey.
- Thanks for joining. Bye!
- No one has to say goodbye.
- Bye, Oh sorry.
