Cure your economy blues with blues -- jeans that is

As always, you can count on the fast fashion clothing stores like Zara, H&M and, particularly, Uniqlo (pictured, both $49.50) for great looking denim at nearly a third of the cost of designer labels. What's great about stores like these is that they bring trends to the masses but don't charge runway prices, so you're guaranteed to find the latest denim cuts and washes. And while a lower price might mean shortened wearability, there's no better place to rush to if you need jeans that make your ass look good in a pinch.
