Finding a pair of good jeans can feel like dating — exhausting, expensive, and full of disappointment... but finding a pair of good jeans for $50? That's like finding your soulmate on the first swipe.

Recently on Mamamia's Nothing To Wear podcast, Leigh Campbell caught up with stylist Jamie-Lee Burns. And honestly? Her 'budget' denim recommendation had us immediately opening a new browser tab.

Jamie-Lee revealed the best jeans she owns are just $50 – and plot twist, she was wearing them during the interview.

"I'm wearing them right now. They're a pair of jeans from H&M, and they are the best jeans. The quality is exceptional for the price.

"I think they're $50 but often on sale for $40," Jamie-Lee shared. (Right now, they are currently available for $49.99). We know, because we have all immediately panic purchased them.

Leigh Campbell was equally impressed. "I thought they were really fancy. The denim looks quite thick. It's a beautiful black – it's not solid, solid, but it's not too washed."

The ultimate seal of approval? Jamie-Lee compared them to her beloved $260 jeans from New Zealand brand Marle. That's some serious denim street cred right there.

So what makes these jeans so special?

Meet H&M's 'Wide Ultra High Jeans' — the wide-leg heroes your wardrobe has been crying out for. Available in five colours (Jamie-Lee's faves are the black), they also come in light denim blue, grey, light denim blue with rips, and classic denim blue.

The magic happens in the fit: that extra-high waist gives you endless legs, while the cut is snug and flattering from waist to hips before flowing into a dreamy wide silhouette from thighs to hem.

They're designed to hit just above your foot with minimal bunching — because nobody has time for awkward jean stacking.

The stylist seal of approval doesn't stop there.

Jamie-Lee isn't the only fashion insider onto these budget-friendly beauties.

Stylist Brooke Falvey recently shared a video trying the same jeans (in blue denim) on her Instagram, and she quite literally broke the internet.

"I stumbled upon a new pair of high-waisted, straight (but not too straight), wide (but not too wide) leg jeans — and they're $50," she shared.

And her post was inundated with comments pleading to know where they were from. And, now you know.

When two stylists independently rave about the same jeans for $50? That's not a coincidence; it's a sign from the denim gods.
