Few fashion brands are as synonymous with denim as Gap. The timeless American brand is a go-to destination for all things denim, including jackets, skirts, and, of course, jeans. Gap's lineup always features classics like high-waisted, bootcut, and straight-leg styles in staple neutrals like black, gray, white, and classic blue. But every now and then, Gap also surprises us with trend-inspired designs and even nostalgic finds. Think flared styles reminiscent of the '70s, mom jeans of the '80s, and low-rise, baggy styles from the '90s.

Our selection includes a mix of classic styles and trend-inspired options, with prices starting at under $50. You'll find endless ways to style them, whether with a basic T-shirt and sneakers or dressed up with designer heels and a going-out top. So, what are you waiting for?

With over 1,000 five-star ratings, it's no secret these high-rise flare jeans are a hit. "These are the best jeans," wrote a shopper who gave them a rave rating. "I tried them on in store and got many compliments. I then watched 3 other women go and try them on, all with completely different body types, and they fit every single one of them! They are legit the sisterhood of the traveling pants jeans!" They come in three other styles, too, so you can select which suits your vibe best.
