3 Jeans Under $150

👉🏼 If you’re looking for a good pair of jeans that don’t break the bank these three pairs under $150 are the ones I keep recommending to clients.

🙋🏻‍♀️ If you’re new here, I’m Elisa Ellis, Dallas-based wardrobe stylist, consultant, and author of The Style Advantage: I Say What HR Can’t. I work with professionals one on one as well as leaders & corporate teams to build authentic executive presence that drives real ROI.

🔅 One of the biggest struggles I hear is: “I don’t know where to shop for jeans that actually work on my body anymore.”

This is part of my series sharing pieces I recommend and buy for clients.

All of these options are under $150 and deliver on stretch, structure, and may even make your legs look longer while being comfortable.

👖 First, the Vintage Wide-Leg Jean from Madewell. True to size, available in standard, petite, short, tall, and plus (sizes 23–33 or 14W–28W). Available in multiple washes. Made of a Cotton + lyocell blend so they are soft with structure and have a little stretch. The higher 11⅜″ rise helps elongate the leg.

👖 Next up, the Brittany Bootcut by Wit & Wisdom. These are under $100. Available in standard and petite, sizes 00–18 and have a 10½″ front rise. Made with (cotton, rayon, polyester) these have lots of stretch so size down. A classic bootcut to give you balance without feeling dated.

👖 Last but not least, the Wide-Leg Jean from Kut from the Kloth These are around $100. Range is sizes from 00–16/18 depending on retailer and they have 10¼″ rise. These jeans tend to run big and have plenty of stretch since they are made of a blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex. You want to size down and wear them a few days to let them mold. These are super soft and forgiving.

When the fit works, you stop fighting your clothes and start showing up as the leader you already are.

👉🏼This is your shortcut if you stand in front of your closet and struggle to get dress for work and you're tired of wasting time and money on pieces that don't actually work for you, your life.

🙋🏻‍♀️My goal is to simplify the process because I hear from clients 
🔅I don't know where to shop
🔅I don't have time
🔅I don't even know where to start.

‼️The struggle is real.

So, I’ve started a new series where I share the pieces I'm buying and shop for my clients; who want tops that work for the office and the weekend.

Here are 3️⃣ tops across three price points.

1️⃣ This first top is under $40, it’s available in XXS to XXL, in standard and petite, in three colors (green, pink, or black), machine washable, and it has a short cap sleeve for women who like a little arm coverage. It also has a tiny bit of stretch. The pleated detail adds easy movement, giving you a polished look on its own or layered under a blazer.

2️⃣ Next up is a Smocked Shell which is $100 (on sale). Sizes XXS-3X, standard and petite, TTS with feminine ruffles at neck and hem. I love it so much I own two in ivory and brown. Lightweight, stretchy, and instantly elevates any look.

3️⃣ Last but not least, this top is under $130, is available in two colors, washable, made from super-lightweight cotton voile, and is a beautiful quality. It runs large, so size down. This top is easy breezy and polished for warmer days. The red is a showstopper, and it’s also available in this beautiful pastel print.

🌀What’s special about these tops? These tops provide versatility. You can wear them alone or layered under a blazer or cardigan.

You can pair them with shorts, slacks, or a skirt and they become great basics in your wardrobe.

They are tools to give you YOUR Style Advantage.
