Splurge on all seven pairs, and you'll be forever in bootcut, baby. (Lucky Brand, Nordstrom Rack, Amazon)(Lucky Brand, Nordstrom Rack, Amazon)
Jeans are a fashion staple that almost everyone agrees are always in style. The cut of them, however, is another matter entirely (what's up, skinny jeans?). Until recently, it was near-universally accepted that bootcut jeans were reserved for women. Then Kendrick Lamar got up on that Super Bowl stage, and a gender-specific pants paradigm crumbled. Since then, the style has been seen on trend-setting celebrities like Timothée Chalamet and Travis Kelce.
If you're a man who has been rocking the same denim for years, maybe it's time to branch out. Bootcut jeans fit slim to straight from the waist to the knee, then flare out from knee to ankle. Think bell-bottom lite. They're the perfect cut for the guy who doesn't want the bagginess (or boringness) of a straight-leg or the tailored fit of a slim jean.
Tempted? Good, because men's bootcuts from some of the world's most trusted denim brands are on sale. We're talking Levi's, Wrangler, True Religion and more for as low as $35 a pair. Whether you're looking for some sleek black denim or a lighter wash for that spring-to-summer transition, buckle up and read on.
Who doesn't love a good deal? Well, this one's giving double the savings. It's down to $60 from $70, and you get an extra 30% off at checkout, bringing the total to just over $40.
When it comes to denim, few brands meet the mark like Levi's. Choose from five non-stretch and five low-stretch washes (this classic dark blue is our favorite). It has a zip fly and five-pocket styling, and sizes go up to a 44" waist.
"One of, if not my favorite pair of jeans, from the moment I put them on," one impressed reviewer wrote. "Good looking, comfortable, well made, and an outstanding value. Nothing but love for 517s."
Wrangler is also known for making quality denim at pretty affordable prices, so when we saw these jeans slashed to $35, we had to do a double-take.
This pair has a regular fit through the seat and thigh and is made from stretch fabric for a more forgiving fit. Since these are in collab with PacSun, they have both the brand's woven label and a Wrangler leather back patch for that limited-edition touch.
Nordstrom Rack is known for delivering big-time denim deals like this one, which is nearly 60% off. These bootcut jeans are made of performance-stretch denim in a hand-sanded wash that looks like a pair of jeans you've had for years but fits like you just bought them.
"Love the more stretchy fabric on this one," wrote one fan. "Less cotton, but holds its shape well. [It] does not overheat you like some other brands' synthetic fabrics I've tried."
Have an even lighter wash in mind? These True Religion faves are 68% off and in stock in all sizes (including Big & Tall). They have an easy-breezy vibe that pairs well with any casual look, from a button-up to a white tee. They also feature knee-fading and whiskering for that "I've been wearing these for years" lived-in style.
Prefer slimmer-fitting bootcut jeans? This Wrangler option is a bit more snug through the seat, thigh and leg than most styles. They also sit lower on the waist for added comfort. Available in a few washes, most are available for around $50-$55.
"By far the best-looking and best-fitting jeans I own," said one shopper. "So much so, I bought three more in different colors. Finally, a pair of Wranglers that don't look like they were donated to the Walmart store."
One of the most classic washes and silhouettes of the bunch, this faded black pair of bootcuts is a go-to wardrobe staple, made for just about any occasion. They have a comfortable stretch with just the right amount of give, so you won't feel restricted after wearing them for hours. Also, we can't ignore that impressive 50% discount and free shipping — what's not to love?
If you're looking for a bolder style that'll turn some heads, these True Religion men's bootcut jeans have white and orange stitching and orange detailing on the back pockets, giving them late-'90s vibes. The brand's signature horseshoe pockets add a bit of pizzazz that'll make them your "special" jeans. Even more special? These are almost 70% off.
"Wanted something loose that would look great with Timberlands," one shopper wrote. "[These] didn't disappoint."
