Barrel Jeans on a budget? Yes, please!
Here at RLS, we are busy preparing our upcoming holiday gift and style guides. However, we had to bring you a quick post about my favorite fall fashion steal. Admittedly, I’m more than a little obsessed with these barrel jeans on a budget and have been wearing them constantly. They are so cute, I couldn’t keep them to myself!
Have you been wanting to try the hot new fall denim style without breaking the bank? Us too! We found your new budget-friendly barrel jeans at Target. Usually our most trusted resource for summer fashion bargains, Target’s Universal Thread brand has come through for us for fall, too.
Not into jeans? Check out both the mid-rise pull-on cotton version, as well as the high-rise twill version (which I’m wearing as I type this!).
Happy Shopping!

Barrel Jeans
Not only are these jeans a budget find, but they also come in five different washes and three different lengths (short, regular, and long). Not all lengths are available in all washes, but with such a wide variety, hopefully you can find the perfect wash and length for your body! Each one fits a little bit differently.
Universal Thread™ High-Rise Easy Barrel Ankle Jeans, $35
BArrel Pants
These mid-rise barrel pull-on pants come in XS, S, M, and L sizing. We recommend ordering a full size smaller than usual! We also love them in black and olive.
Universal Thread™ Women’s Mid-Rise Barrel Leg Pull-On Pants
These high-rise “jeans” are really more of a soft twill pant with a lot of give. Order your regular size, but be aware, they fit a bit loose.

Have you tried barrel jeans or pants yet? What do you think? I absolutely thought they were nuts last season, but like all new trends, they tend to look right when you get sick of the old and are ready for something new. Let us know your favorite styles and thoughts in the comments below!
