Jeans and denim have long been a wardrobe staple, especially here in the U.S. of A. As the go-to garment from cowboy casanovas to soccer moms, jeans have definitely enjoyed their time on the spotlight. Then, not too long ago, denim suddenly went designer. Instead of shelling over the same amount that you'd spend on a lunch date for a pair, many of us started giving up an arm and a leg for the newer more flattering cuts of designer denim. From skinny leg to straight, flared or distressed, denim went from comfortable casual wear to being appropriate for more fancy night outs and a way to show just how stylish you really are. Now that the new-ness of designer denim has worn off, it's time to realize that, while the new denim make-over has jeans looking sexier and more flattering than ever, it's just a change of style and the suddenly hefty price tags attached are quite unnecessary. Check out the slideshow to see some super stylish, uber-flattering designer denim in every style, for just a fraction of what some of the other labels are asking for!

Inside all of us is a rock star waiting to get out -- a leather jacket-toting, torn-up jeans-wearing, utterly fabulous rock star. Thanks to Denim of Virtue, the time has never been better to embrace this inner desire. This rock star image was the first thing that came to mind upon viewing the Denim of Virtue collection. An array of distressed jean selections, each one was more stage-worthy than the next. The denim even comes in varying levels of distressing, catering to a wide variety of consumers. There's the subtle collection, boasting boyfriend, skinny and wide-leg jeans with only a hint of wear-and-tear. The second is the moderate collection, where skinny jeans show more tailored signs of distress. And finally, there is the extreme, where 90s punk rears its head in the form of carefully placed holes that decorate skinny jeans. When you're done rockin' out, be sure to check out WhatsWear for more notable new brands!
