Why is it a good deal? 💰

Good jeans can cost upward of $100; these are just a fifth of that! You can save over 55% during this sale, but word is spreading fast, so don't expect sizes to stick around. Oh, and there are a whopping 100-plus colors to choose from, but note that prices vary.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Because they're slim, sleek and slammin'! You deserve jeans that make you look your best — after all, they are perhaps your most important fall wardrobe piece. These jeans show off the smallest part of your natural waist (you say "Mom jeans," we say "The Bomb jeans"), eliminating any fears of muffin tops. And fans love the touch of spandex that makes them extra-forgiving.

Pair a pair with your favorite white tee and sneakers for a cool, casual look. As the temperatures drop, wear them with a cozy sweater and boots. Date night calls for legs that don't quit — these are perfect with a pair of heels and ________ (fill in the blank).

Executive Editor Nicole Sforza tested these jeans to see if the hype was warranted. Spoiler alert: It was. "They're thick enough to keep some structure but stretchy enough that pulling them up over my hips didn't hurt my sides (or my soul)," she said. "And when I zipped them up, I felt like I was literally zipping myself up into them — like I was tucking away the fleshy parts of myself that I didn't want the world to see."

What reviewers say 💬

Racking up more than 47,000 five-star ratings, the jeans are clearly beloved by Amazon shoppers. As this fan says, "I will live in these."

Pros 👍

They flatter the body, a fan explained: "Do you have curves? Do you have hips? Do you want pants that make your butt look good? These are the pants. They say 'Honey, I’m gonna take care of you.' They zip up, give a little tummy tucking, and they love your curves without feeling too tight."

"So much stretch, comfort and style for such a reasonable cost!" gushed this five-star reviewer. "I love these jeans so much that I am going to collect them in few more colors. The quality is amazing. The texture is excellent, too, with a crispy look and feel."

Comfort is key, and these have it in spades, explained another. "Always comfortable. Always look good. No matter how many times up and down and stretching around. Many times, I have to wear [them] day through overnight — sometimes curled up on a two-seater chair to catch a few Zzz's, and never had that stiff-jean circulation-cutoff, heavy-dye numbing feeling. These have become my go-to jeans."

Cons 👎

Most reviewers say these Amandas don't fade. This one begs to differ — but it didn't stop them from wearing: "I will only buy these jeans!" said a fan whose pale blue pair has lightened. "The only issue I have is that they fade very quickly. Wash in cold, dry on warm — no shrinkage ever, but after a few months are nearly white. Price is so reasonable, I replaced originals." (Note: This OxiClean Color Boost detergent is only $9, if you want to be extra careful.)

And if you have pets, heed this shopper's warning: "They attract lint and pet hair far more than I've ever seen in a pair of jeans! Since I have two dogs and three cats, this is definitely a major downside for me."

One five-star reviewer wrote, "I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this sweater. I wanted a navy sweater to wear around the house to pair with all my cozies. Working from home video call tip — a sweater magically makes you look dressier than a sweatshirt! This sweater was good quality. I was most impressed with the softness — not scratchy while still looking higher quality. I wash this and put it in the dryer on a lower heat. I'd say it's not thick and chunky, but definitely would not describe it as lightweight. The navy color that I got is very deep, almost black."
