Reader Request: Denim Trousers


I recently got an email request from Meghan,

Hi Madeline,
I have been searching for denim trousers and I need your help. I know, I know, I am the only person on the planet who doesn't own a pair.... but I think I can get away with wearing them at work, so I am going to try.

I love the Downtown Denim Trousers from J.Crew, and wondered if you could find me a more reasonable priced pair that look like trousers, and not jeans (the pair at BR are way to jean-ie looking).

I am not sure if you have already done a post about these, but if you have the time I certainly would appreciate your help. Love the blog - I read it nearly everyday.

Denim trouser are one of my office wear staples. A few years ago, I happened upon a pair of Express Trousers at Ross, and have never looked back. For those of you not willing to dig for (or able to find) a pair that way, here are a few online:


1 - Premium Herringbone Denim Trouser - Dark - Target - $29.99
2 - Crossdyed Denim Trousers - Charlotte Russe - $24.74 (Orig. $32.99)
3 - RVCA Dri Trouser Denim Pant - Dogfunk.com (hahaha - yep, dogfunk) - $26.69 (Orig. $88.95)

My favorite is definitely #3, even if it's from an online store called Dogfunk.com. What do you guys think about denim trousers? How about the picks? Leave a comment.

Thanks for reading,

Happy Shopping!

  1. They just came out with a pair on DownEast too...they might be too casual for work though.

  2. I love the look of them, but the sadly never fit quite right for me. I find the pockets bulge out in the front and never make my rear look quite as avoid as other jeans. I desperately wish I could pull them off!

  3. Oh man oh man, do I ever love me some denim trousers. I think I would wear them every day if it were socially {or weather-ly} acceptable. I actually bought that exact pair of J. Crew trousers when they were on final sale about a year ago, but they were completely the wrong size and length and I had to sell them on eBay for a loss.

    The ones from Dogfunk do look great. That name, though -- do your clothes arrive smelling like Dogfunk? Because if that's the case, I don't think it's worth it. :)
