Why Spend a Ton on Jeans When Selena Gomez's Are $98 and Perfect?

The approach of the spring and summer months doesn't mean that swimwear, sandals, and sundresses are the only things that should be on your shopping list. A few new denim pieces to freshen up your wardrobe for the new season are also in order. And sure, you could easily spend a significant chunk of your budget on a new pair of jeans, or you could just follow Selena Gomez's lead and spend $98 on a pair of Levi's 501 Skinny Jeans (one of our favorite styles) in the Old Hangouts wash.
Ever since Levi's released its line of 501 Skinny Jeans, we've been smitten with the authentic vintage look and flattering fit of the slim high-waisted style. Gomez went with a 100% cotton pair with subtle distressing. She stuck with the classically cool look and paired them with a denim jacket, a white tee, and white sneakers.
Trust us when we tell you that these Levi's are destined to be your new favorite weekend jeans starting now. Shop them below!
On Selena Gomez: Roberi & Fraud Black Betty Sunglasses ($240); Levi's jacket and 501 Skinny Jeans in Old Hangouts ($98); Louis Vuitton bag; Puma sneakers
