Skinny, boot or straight – jeans are a staple in any fashionista's closet. And you can never have too many pairs, especially when you find the perfect fit. But if spending next month's rent on those long-coveted designer denims is not an option, we've got the hush-hush scoop on LA's deep discount jeans shops.

That Jean Shop
5658 W. 3rd St.
Los Angeles, CA 90036

That Jean Shop

All over the Internet, Israeli-born Neta Tov is showered with her clients' praises. Opened for only three years, Tov's That Jean Shop has a wide selection of high-end and exclusive jean brands at low prices, with some that haven't even hit most stores yet. A mathematician at heart, Tov can take one look at you and calculate which designer jeans will fit best, sending you out of the shop's doors looking fabulous. Featured brands include American Rags, Fred Segal, RRL Selvage Denim by Ralph Lauren, J Brand, Hudson Denim, Bleu Lab Reversible Denim, Black Orchid, SIWY Jeans, Paige Premium Denim, Ksubi Jeans and Prvcy jeans. The denim boutique also carries designers on your man's coveted list such as 12 oz. Denim, Dylan George, Agave and Rich & Skinny. Tov predicts denim fall trends to debut a mellow color palette accentuating caramels, olives, golden browns, grays, dark washes, straight and slim cuts. She says skinny is not completely out, but we will see less of it this year. Tov is putting herself through school while running That Jean Shop and will give a 10 percent student discount to anyone with proper identification.
