Jeans are a wardrobe staple for everyone, but do the supermarket brands compare to the iconic Levi’s?
Fabulous‘ Deputy Fashion Editor, Abby McHale tested four styles and compared them , here’s her verdict…
“As a teenager, I lived in Topshop’s Joni skinny jeans and I got my first pair of Levi’s when I was in my early twenties.
But now, nearing 30, I love nothing more than supermarket jeans. They are great value and really comfortable. They also last well, which my £100 Levi’s didn’t (so much for them staying good for ever).
But while I am a convert to supermarket denim, how well do pairs compare with those at high-end, high street stores?
Here I compare a series of styles, from skinny and straight to cargo and wide leg, and give my verdict and ratings.
Bleached Wide Leg, F&F at Tesco, £22.50 – 5/5
Skinny, George at Asda, £17 – 3/5
Cargo, M&S, £45 – 4/5
Straight Leg, Tu at Sainsbury’s, £20 – 4/5
I knew there was a reason why I loved supermarket jeans so much and I don’t think this comparison test has changed that much. And with some of the styles, it is really hard to spot the difference.
Sainsbury’s Straight Leg jeans are a Levi’s dupe but cost £20 instead of £100!”
