Shopping for jeans online (and also in stores, let’s be honest) can be a daunting task. There are so many different styles and cuts to choose from and not to mention, new denim can be really, really expensive (who has $300 to drop on a single pair of jeans–not us). From cropped to wide leg, embroidered, and distressed, denim is new and improved for spring.

Ripped jeans are definitely not new, but they’re here to stay for 2018. The distressed denim style can be found everywhere–from the runway to street style. If you want to copy this destroyed denim trend, we have proof that you don’t need to spend over $50 on a single pair of jeans.

These 5 brands make the best ripped jeans for under $50.

They are:

BP.
Topshop
Forever 21
American Eagle
1822 Denim

Sound too good to be true? Scroll down to shop our favorite pairs from all five brands. You may want to go get your wallet now–these ripped jeans are too good (and cheap) to pass up!

American Eagle Denim X Jegging ($49.95)

About the product: Feel great about your butt. It has never looked better than it will in these. These jeans are made from denim and super stretch fabric. The high-level stretch holds its shape and won’t bag out so you always look and feel great.

Customer review: “These pair of jeans are a life saver. They literally look good with any top. They are a bit too low rise for my liking, but I still love them. I am 5’ 5” 120lbs but I like my jeans longer to cuff them (it’s weird I know). For reference, a size 2 regular would of hit my ankles perfectly. These are more jean material than my Hollister jeans which I prefer because they’re not super thin, but they’re still stretchy!"
