The Best Jeans Under $50 You Can’t Go Without

Winter is just around the corner, and you know what that means: cute winter clothes. Long sleeves, cozy jackets, fluffy boots, and the best part of all — a pair of flexibly fashionable jeans. But finding jeans that look good and feel good for those low temperatures is pricey. How can you get the right price without breaking the bank? These six pairs of jeans are just what you’re looking for — and they’re all under $50.

1. Piper Skinny Jeans, $42 | Nordstrom

Skinny jeans never go out of fashion, and nothing looks cuter under an oversized winter jacket than a pair of petite jeans. These slim jeans are great for your form and even better for your bank account, coming in at $42. Add that to Cash Back coupons from Ebates, and you could afford to splurge on that pricey dream jacket. Better yet, you could stock up on a supply that will last you for several seasons.

2. Zco Destructed Boyfriend Jeans, $12.49 | Tillys

Guy jeans are just more comfortable, aren’t they? But getting hold of a pair that fits you perfectly is quite a task. At Tillys, you can get a pair of boyfriend jeans that hug you in all the right places for $12.49. With stylistic tears and deep pockets, they’re perfect for going out or snuggling up with a hot cup of cocoa.

3. Zip Ankle Skinny Jean Legging, $29.80 | Boden

These ankle jeans come in a soft array of colors that are perfect for professional or business events, though their legging material makes them deceptively comfy. At just $29.80, you can match them up with a light colored blouse and a pair of dark heels for a look that’s modern and professional.

4. Acid Pool Skinny Jeans, $31 |Nasty Gal

Comfortable, durable, and eye-catching, these skinny jeans come with a faded acid wash color that works with any outfit. Pair them with warm boots or a dark-colored sweater and you’ll not only look good, you’ll feel the comfort of thick, form-hugging material. At just $31 with Ebates’ Nasty Gal Coupons and promo codes, you’ll get your winter wardrobe for a crazy low price.

5. Levi’s 535 Super Skinny Jeggings, $39.99 | Bon Ton

Whether you’re hanging out in the cool weather with friends or building a snowman on a whim, nothing answers the call quite like jeggings. Levi’s 535 Jeggings rise up high on your middle and draw attention to a curvy or slim waist. They also give you that waist-hugging feel that’s perfect for a night out. Best matched with a pair of heels and a crop top, you can get your own for only $39.99 with Cash Back at Ebates.

6. Bristol Printed Skinny Ankle Jeans, $35.99 | Macy’s

Daring is the name of the game, with these form-fitting skinny jeans catching attention with their bright floral pattern. But just because they’re patterned doesn’t mean they’re too extreme. The softer color matched with the ultra-soft material makes them perfect with a light colored turtleneck or fashionable jacket, setting off the look without overwhelming it. When you spend just $35.99 on these jeans, you can afford to grab those high-calf winter boots to perfect the look.

6 Basics Every Fall Wardrobe Can’t Go Without

Fall is upon us and some of us are more prepared than ever to start enjoying all that the season brings. But it’s not all pumpkin flavored everything and bonfires. It’s also time to dress for the season and we have just what you need to get you started. Before you deplete your bank account while updating your closet, head to Ebates to earn Cash Back on these fall wardrobe essentials.

Ripped Jeans

Fall trends are pointing to the ripped jeans style of decades past. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill, distressed at the knees jeans. These are ripped in every way imaginable. Sure, you’ll find the standard rips and tears, but you’ll also discover Silver Jeans come in a wonderful variety of washes to add to the distressed appeal. If you thought fringe was just for your dad’s hippie suede jacket, think again, because this tip fall trend is also making its way to your jeans too.

Suit Jackets

The suit jacket is a power symbol and women are embracing it this fall. And no matter the attire at your place of work, the suit jacket is versatile enough to play the part. Dress up jeans or layer with a skirt. Pair with slacks or layer with scarves and chunky statement necklaces. The options are endless. Head to Kohl’s and snag a promo code, then find the one you’ll love to wear to work and pair with other fall pieces.

Floral Maxi Dresses

Parade of Poppies Maxi Dress, $68 (LuLu*s)

Love may be in the air during spring, but fall is the season of romance. Floral prints and flouncy maxi dresses are reigning this season at LuLu*s. Rich, bold jewel tones, lovely reds and of course neutral tones are big as we enter the new season. Don’t be surprised to find long-sleeved dresses with a 70s-era bell sleeve. Find the right dress and you could be wearing a bell-sleeved floral maxi that ticks all of the right boxes.

Bomber Jackets

Shine On You Crazy Bomber, $68 (Nasty Gal)

Once worn by fighter pilots to stay warm, the bomber jacket has come a long way. Now, while you can still find it in thicker varieties and various shades of military tones, you’ll also find a plethora of other options. Head to Nasty Gal for options in satin, floral, appliqued – you name it. Embrace fall trends and go for a statement piece or stick to a neutral tone for fall wardrobe essentials.

Tall Boots

When it comes to fall basics, the tall boot is key in women’s clothing. They keep you cozy and instantly up the style factor for any outfit. It’s really difficult for them to steer your fall wardrobe off course and Macy’s has plenty of options to choose from. It is so easy to want to fill your closet with a pair in every shade. Boots are the perfect quintessential fall fashion accessory.

Blanket Scarves

A hot wardrobe essential you’re sure to get wrapped up in (pardon the pun) is the blanket scarf from Grace and Lace. Sure, that scarf could double as a nice picnic blanket, but right now it is doing the job of keeping you comfy and cozy at work or during an outing. And since the warm colors and plaid styling are on point with classic but trending fall fashion, you’re going to want to grab a few of these. They’re versatile and you can earn Cash Back at Ebates. What more can you ask for?!

How to Master the Art of Patched Denim

We’re sure you’ve noticed grown women reliving their punk rock high school days in the form of a patched denim jacket or vest and we’re here to say we officially love it. Why? Any fashion trend that is built around customization is key for creating a look that is “in” but still entirely you. Not to mention, denim vests are a great tool for dressing down evening wear for a daring daytime style, like this metallic dress/vest combo:

Want to try your hand at the patched denim trend but feeling intimidated? Let us walk you through the experience of planning, shopping, assembling and styling your very own patched jean jacket or vest while getting some Cash Back at Ebates. We’ll help you find the iron-on denim patches that tout your personality to a T and offer a few handy tips from first-hand experience.

To sleeve or not to sleeve? This may seem like a simple decision but here are a few questions to ask yourself when shopping for what will be the canvas to your wearable masterpiece.

What do you own that can be layered with a vest?
Which piece would you get more mileage out of?
Is your patched denim vest or jacket something you would like to wear regularly or only occasionally?
Would a dark wash or light wash coordinate more with your current wardrobe?

Once you have selected cut and color, now it’s time to dive into the infinite world of patched and pins!

This step can seem overwhelming but trust us, it’s too fun to be stressful. Here are three simple tips to remember when shopping around.

Pick your centerpiece or large patches first. Whether you have one big back piece or a few larger patches, select them first so you can get an idea of how much space your will have left for smaller pieces like enamel pins.
Choose a tone. Will most of your pieces be sweet, sassy or edgy? You can definitely mix it up but it helps to have a general theme in mind.
Pick your top five favorite things in the world. It could be pizza, Parks and Rec or Paris. It doesn’t matter. You can find a patch or pin to represent it.

You’ve got the outwear and the hardware. Now it’s time to patch. We recommend throwing a little party with a friend or two to make a couple of hours with the ironing board a little less tedious. We say hours because:

Not all patches are created equal. Some take longer to iron. Make sure to use the highest temp with full steam unless instructions for each patch note otherwise.
Ironing blind is hard. It is recommended for most patches that you not iron the front of the patch. That means you have to lay it upside down them place the jacket on top of it. If you have a glass table you can climb under, that really helps to see that the placement is correct before ironing.
Touch ups may be required. You can iron to the best of your ability and a patch could stubbornly refuse to fuse. Avoid the urge to rip your hair out by purchasing some Liquid Stitch from Joann beforehand. It really is a lifesaver when patched go rogue.

Your labor of love is officially done and now it’s time to strut. Let those colorful patches catch eyes from across the sidewalk by wearing neutrals underneath. And never, NEVER wear them with blue denim bottoms, regardless of wash. You remember that infamous Brittany and Justin look, right?

We get it. You’re a busy girl and you would much rather dish out a little extra money than get your hands dirty. Luckily, a lot of patched denim pieces are pretty reasonable and all of these come with Cash Back! It may not be your own hand-made baby but you can still give it a good home.
