These are jeans were professionally modeled and photographed, and half of them are the ugliest jeans I have ever seen. They don’t fit. They sag, they droop, and the hang off the pubic bone. What criteria could you possibly have used to call these the best jeans under $100.

Very disappointing selection. Only the Victoria’s Secret jeans look ok. But of course it’s hard to tell if it’s the model or the jeans.
I find the best jeans at consignment shops for better prices than these.

Put the jeans on a average size women and let’s see how they look. These are models so having a potato sack would
look good on them!

I know the best jeans under 100 and you can only find them in Mexico.
Gabrielle jeans, the best fit.

If that is the best I would hate to see the worst. The only one that would look decent on the average women is the Gap.

Didn’t mother ever tell you that if they pull and create lines across the middle you need to bump it up a size or… 2?

Great picks…for 20-somethings maybe.
For a 5′9″, 49-year-old woman with an average build woman such as myself who wants to sit down or bend over without exposing half her arse, my vote goes to Eddie Bauer jeans. A bit of stretch but not too much, decent wash colors and a higher waist.
