Best Embellish Jeans Under $150: Fit and Style Guide
Statement denim does not have to cost a fortune. Embellish, the New York denim label, is known for rip-and-repair patchwork, biker ribbing and distressed washes that look custom, and most of its jeans come in well under $150. Below are our favorite Embellish pairs at Pure right now, along with guidance on how they fit and how to style them.

What Makes Embellish Denim Different
Embellish focuses on detail. Many styles feature rip-and-repair work, where distressed areas are backed with patches and visible stitching so the jean looks worn in but still finished. Others borrow from moto design, with ribbed panels at the thigh or knee and sculpted seams.
Most of the pairs we carry are cut in a skinny fit from a cotton blend with a little spandex, usually 98% cotton and 2% spandex. That small amount of stretch keeps a slim jean comfortable for a full day.
Our Picks: The Best Embellish Jeans Under $150
Skiba Rip and Repair Denim, Blue
The Skiba Rip and Repair Denim is our top pick for a first pair. It pairs a blue distressed wash with patchwork details in a skinny fit with a 34-inch inseam. At under $100, it is one of the best values in the denim section.
Ric Denim, Black
If you want something easier to dress up, the Ric Denim in black is a black skinny jean finished with patchwork details. Black denim works with almost everything in your closet, and the patchwork keeps it from feeling plain.
Spencer Denim, Black Rip and Repair
The Spencer Denim is a black biker jean with ribbing on both thighs, paneled stitching and a rip-and-repair finish. It is the pair to choose if you want your jeans to be the focus of the outfit.
Luke Biker Denim, Black Distressed
The Luke Biker Denim combines a black distressed wash with moto-inspired detailing. It comes in a wide size run, with waist sizes from 28 to 44, which makes it one of the most inclusive styles in the line.
Crawley Rip and Repair Denim, Indigo Patchwork
For a deeper blue, the Crawley Rip and Repair Denim uses indigo patchwork for a rich, layered look that pairs well with white and neutral tops.
How Embellish Jeans Fit
Waist: Most customers take their usual waist size. Because of the stretch, the jeans relax slightly with wear, so if you are between sizes, the smaller size will usually feel right after a few wears.
Leg: The skinny cut is slim through the thigh and tapered to the ankle. If you have athletic legs or prefer more room, go up one waist size.
Length: Many styles have a 34-inch inseam, which is a little longer than standard. That extra length is designed to stack over high-top sneakers and boots. If you prefer a clean break, a tailor can shorten them easily.

How to Style Embellish Jeans
Keep the top simple
Detailed denim looks best with a plain or lightly graphic top. A fitted black or white tee lets the patchwork and ribbing stand out.
Stack over high-tops or boots
The longer inseam is meant to gather at the ankle. High-top sneakers or Chelsea boots finish the look.
Try a denim layer
For a full denim look, add the Luke Denim Jacket in black distressed over a hoodie or tee. Keep the washes close in tone so the outfit reads as intentional.
Add a statement belt
A crystal belt from our B.B. Simon collection is a natural match for black biker denim on a night out.
Caring for Distressed Denim
Rip-and-repair details last longer with gentle care. Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang dry. Skipping the dryer helps prevent shrinkage and protects the stitching around distressed areas. Always follow the care label.
