The premium denim market has been going strong for more than a decade—long enough that paying $250-plus for jeans barely even seems outrageous. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t deals to be found. We rounded up five pairs of women’s jeans in Toronto that are flattering, comfortable and, best of all, priced under $150.
For lovers of a classic boot-cut, <strong>Naked & Famous </strong>makes a great pair of comfortable, stretch jeans from Japanese denim that keeps its shape. $130.<br />

The Jane cut from Canadian brand <strong>Dish</strong> has a trouser’s sensibility—the high rise, wide waistband and front crease make them a little dressier than your average jeans. $96.<br />

<strong>BDG’</strong>s slim straight jeans are flattering whether you decide to cuff them or hem them. They fit a little large, so try a size down that your usual. $58.<br />
