The Affordable Jean Trends NYC Girls Would Buy From Amazon

We consistently turn to NYC girls for primo style inspiration given their expertise in building fashionable yet functional wardrobes for a life of running around the city. In fact, we often call out the specific trends this set covets at any given moment. When it comes to denim, in particular, there seem to be a few key jean cuts New Yorkers are turning to more than others. And believe it or not, many of said trends just so happen to be sold at Amazon. Furthermore, we bet that if an NYC girl went on an Amazon shopping spree, she’d probably land on the below affordable denim finds.
On that note, keep scrolling to scope out the under-$125 jean trends a New York City lady would undoubtedly be into from Amazon, complete with visual and shopping inspo.
One of the biggest denim trends of 2020 is undoubtedly flared jeans. While the style has trickled in and out of the trend circuit for years, the ’70s-esque cuts are back to make any casual ensemble feel effortlessly modern.
If there’s one denim style the fashion crowd—NYC girls especially—won’t stop wearing, it’s ’90s-inspired straight-leg jeans. The right pair will basically make any ’fit feel cool.
The S/S 20 runways were filled with more exaggerated denim cuts like wide-leg jeans. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing more and more NYC girls in this must-try jean style.
Yes, skinnies consistently skew on the polarizing side, but as many New Yorkers prove with their elevated, casual outfits, skinny jeans (particularly cropped styles right now) are essentially wardrobe classics at this point.
While often worn for chic summer looks, white and cream denim—especially straight-leg fits—is ramping up to be a favorite right now with more cold-weather ensembles as a forward way to soften a vibe.
