Top 5–Most Overrated Denim Brands

I will probably get a lot a grief for writing this, but it’s something that has been bothering me for long time. I have been a member of multiple denim forums, not to be named, and some of the people tend to be super pretentious and very judgment.  I don’t think everyone in forums is bad and most of the people can be super helpful.  To make the list the  jeans have too cost way too much and all fit terrible. Well, on with the countdown.

#5 – Lucky Brand Jeans

I know Lucky has a hardcore following, but I have meet a lot of the hardcore fans and they are just not on my fashion level. The jeans are comfortable but they just don’t fit right and are not worth what they cost.

#4 – 7  for all Mankind

Seven jeans have a huge following and as much as I wanted to like these jeans I just couldn’t get into their fit and style.  I think the the A – pocket is the most ridiculous back pocket design.

#3 – Abercrombie & Fitch

I don’t hate everything Abercrombie, just their jeans.  Back in the boot cut days I thought Abercrombie was the best thing going and maybe that was because I worked at the store. The jeans are super low rise and the boot cut is super baggy and they make people with butts, look like they have no butt; if you don’t have a butt just forget about these jeans.

#2 – True Religion Brand Jeans

As much as I love True Religion, I also hate most of their looks.  The worst are the Super T’s and Big T’s, they have super big stitching  and it doesn’t always match the denim color.  The worst was when they started adding murals on their back pockets and some pairs had a ridiculous amount to holes and patched holes. Some pairs are way over priced; I don’t mind dropping money if they are worth it, but $300 for ugly ill fitting jeans in not right.

#1 – BKE Jeans

This is the only brand that I truly hate all of their jeans.  First off the jeans are super uncomfortable, even the loose fit jeans.  They cost about $70-$80, but they feel super cheap; I am talking about the quality and fit.  For a company that has the largest variety of fits, the jeans sure don’t fit well.  The slim are too baggy, the relaxed is too loose and the the boot cut is like a flare jean.  The back pockets are atrocious; to much going on and no clear signature pattern.  The pockets are all different and are made of crazy patterns; it’s just way too busy.  Most people like these jeans because they are talked into liking these jeans and are made to believe they are the greatest, the power of suggestion.

 

I don’t really hate all of these jeans, except BKE, I just think people give them way too much credit and they tend to cost way more than they are worth. Just because a pair of jeans cost around $100 doesn't mean it’s worth a shit.  If company are going to charge that much, at least the jeans could feel and have the quality of that price.  They best way to avoid getting a crappy pair is to research and try on different pairs. Now you know, any knowing is half the battle!! G.I. Joe.
