In no way do I endorse paying $400 for a pair of jeans, but assuming you want a pair that fits well and actually holds a shape theb there's a difference between a $20 pair and a $100, say. If you just want a pair of shapeless baggy jeans then yeah your $20 pair are fine.

Even a Pokemon protagonist girl wore jeans that were basically more pockets than pants. At least she had pockets? Was there a Fashion SWAT article on Pokemon trainers? There really should be. That series has a... distinct approach to fashion.

They’re both based on “keep on truckin’,” which is a 60s meme.

I know it's kind of off topic, but is it just perspective here or is Lennon gigantic? I know Yoko is small but that guy to his left looks tiny in comparison too.
