Back in 2004, PAIGE was founded as a denim brand for female clothing and there is no doubt the new-age brand has fought its way to the top to stand beside some of the best fashion brands known to man.
I can name some brands that happen to fail even after spending so many years in the industry and there are some brands you barely see anything special with making you wonder why they seem unrivaled.
Whoever founded Paige and whoever is running now, I dare say the whole setup was not just a great idea but an innovative one. When it comes to innovation, I attest to it and I’m sure you do too.
PAIGE is great enough to make you want to seek more, ironically. In case you are one of those that have been searching, I did the hard work for you.

10 Paige Jeans Alternatives
Levi’s 721 Skinny Exposed Button Jeans
This is not a perfect replacement but these Levi jeans, like other Levi products, are always one of the best of their kind.
The glowing white color makes it look coated. It is as skinny as the Emmie jeans, with a very high amount of stretch. It also has an exposed button fly, adding to its beauty.
While this pair is not a perfect replacement, the Levi brand has a 4.6 rating out of 5 for a reason… and if you haven’t thought of checking out the brand, you should now.
Pros:
- Skinny fit
- Super stretch
- Exposed button fly
- Belt loops
- Affordable
- Durable
- True to size
Cons:
- Not a perfect replacement for your Emmie jeans
The Levi brand has an edge due to their wide range of products, right from the early 1900s but, when it comes to innovation, I am tempted to rate PAIGE ahead.
Their beautiful and exceptional styles make it hard to find perfect comparisons. Good luck shopping!
MADEWELL Roadtripper Skinny Flared Jeans
Madewell is another well-known brand with a high rating. This pair is one of my favorites on this list when it comes to appearance.
I wouldn’t call this a perfect replacement to the Claudine Flared Jeans since it looks pretty different but I will call it better.
The flared jeans are a beautiful thing but a skinny flare is another thing that just might be beyond beautiful.
The Claudine Jeans by PAIGE have a curvy look with a high-rise waist. It has a high level of stretch and fits greatly around the hips. Its totally perfect look makes it worth the high amount of money spent on it.
The Madewell jeans also have a curvy appearance. It has a similar high-rise waist and is super-stretchy. It has a skinny fit, hugging the hips down to the knees and a slightly wide flare goes down over your ankle.
While the usual flared jeans exude the old-school vibe, this one is a bit more attractive.
Madewell jeans are known to run large so you are advised to order a smaller size. Once you find a perfect fit, you won’t regret the stress and the high cost.
Fortunately for you, this pair is extremely affordable, unlike many other Madewell pairs. Yes! A lot more affordable than PAIGE’s Claudine jeans.
Pros:
- Affordable
- High durability
- Better appearance
- Belt loops
Cons:
- Runs big
- Not a perfect replacement for Claudine Flared Jeans
TRUE RELIGION Halle Mid-rise Coated Skinny Jeans
Call this ridiculous but this pair costs twice less than your PAIGE Hoxton coated jeans. True Religion is one of the biggest brands in the fashion industry so you expect them to have the best products.
PAIGE happens to be one of the biggest competitors so this will be a tough one.
The PAIGE Hoxton pair here has an exposed button fly which adds to its beauty. Once you get yourself in the right fit, you feel yourself in another world. It’s just the high price.
However, this True Religion looks even better. It has a black coating, like the Hoxton, and a beautiful design at the sides, making it a lot more attractive than the Hoxton.
I wouldn’t say ‘perfect’ replacement. Rather, I’ll call it better. Every other part of this pair is just perfect. From the look to it’s quality and fit.
True Religion has a rating of 4.3 out of 5; one of the highest rating fashion brands can ever get. Check them out and see why.
Pros:
- Better replacement for your Hoxton Coated Jeans
- True to size
- Affordable
- Durable
- Belt loops
- Black Coating
- Designed sides
- Designed back pockets
Cons:
- Heavyweight
7FAM Coated Side-tuck Joggers
I am a lover of 7 For All Mankind, personally. The products are not cheap but this one only costs half the money you pay for PAIGE’s Mayslie Jogger Jeans.
Another sweet addition, asides from the nice look and durability of Joggers, is these two pairs are coated. 7FAM has a higher stretch, compared to the Mayslie Jogger Jeans.
The two jeans have jogger-style cuffs above the ankle and the fabric composition is almost the same. Mayslie is made up of cotton, rayon, polyester, and elastane, While 7fam Jogger Jean is made up of cotton, rayon, Lyocell, and elastane.
The difference caused by polyester and Lyocell makes the 7fam jogger more durable and breathable. They both have patch pockets.
I will call this the first perfect replacement on this list but the high stretch in 7FAM might make it the better option, even with it’s lower cost.
7FAM has a general brand rating of 4.2 out of 5 on Knoji. You can check out the brand.
Pros:
- Belt loops
- Mid-weight
- Thick and stretchy
- Breathable Fabric
- Higher durability
- Black Coating
- Better replacement of Mayslie Jogger Jeans
Cons:
- Casual
Silver Jeans Mid-rise Bootcut Jeans
Silver Jeans Co. is another popular brand on this list. It is also rated high so you should expect a nice product from them.
First, this product is not a perfect replacement for PAIGE’s Manhattan boot jeans, which we are comparing with, but it is up to you to decide whether or not it is better.
If you have tried out the Manhattan high-rise boot jeans, you’ll know how beautiful it is. It is PAIGE’s slimmest bootcut jeans, reportedly.
The Mid-rise Bootcut Jeans from Silver Jeans have a similar appearance but its mid-rise waist marks a slightly obvious difference.
For lovers of waistband that reaches the abdomen, this one might not satisfy you but if you are willing to ignore that, this will be one of your favorites.
Silver Bootcut Jeans are equally slim and skinny around the waist and hips. The jean, from the knees down to the feet, is straight and slim. It’s much more like skinny jean that is not entirely skinny. It has belt loops, a zip fly, and a button closure.
As a bonus, the Silver Jeans has some moderate butt sculpting feature. As long as you are in the right size of Silver Jeans, your perfect look is assured. Silver Jeans Co. is rated 4.1 out of 5. You should check it out.
Pros:
- Durable
- Belt loops
- Beautiful look
Cons:
- Heavyweight
- Low Stretch
- Not perfect replacement for PAIGE’s Manhattan
- Inconsistent sizing
Mother Denim’s The Insider Crop
Mother’s Denim is one of the ten top-rated jeans on Knoji so I have picked out a similar pair of jeans to PAIGE’s Nellie Culotte.
I see why anyone would want an alternative to the Nellie Culotte, as it can be as expensive as $190. I wouldn’t call this pair of Mother’s denim a perfect alternative but it costs more, unfortunately.
The Insider Crop is tight around the waist, like the Nellie Culotte. This pair comes in crisp black color. Unlike the Nellie Culotte, there is a fitted feel around the hips down to the knees, then it goes straight down.
The Nellie Culotte has a baggy look, as it curves from the waist and is cropped below the knees.
The curvy look is not sacrificed in the Insider Crop either. The crop also happens over the ankles but with less space compared to the Nellie Culotte.
Speaking of the feel, the two pairs are very stretchy and soft. They have equal levels of cotton, polyester, and elastane so expect equal durability in your Insider Crop and every Mother Denim jeans out there.
The Insider Crop has belt loops, two front pockets, and two patch back pockets. The Mother Denim brand found its way to the top with a rating of 4.2, ranging from its brand recognition to its customer service and quality.
You might want to check out more of the Mother Denim jeans, after this.
Pros:
- Belt loops
- Stretchy and soft fabric
- High durability
Cons:
- Expensive
- Runs small
- Not perfect replacement for Nellie Culotte
LEE High-rise Flared jeans
It’s already funny enough that Lee and Leenah sound alike but the likeness doesn’t end there.
Lee is another top-rated jean brand and it is being compared to the PAIGE brand with a jean similar to PAIGE’s Leenah High-waist Raw Hem Flared Jeans.
The Leenah had a smooth slanting wideness on the leg and, just as its name implies, the hems are not seen as smooth.
In case you are new to this, it is a style and it actually appears nice for ankle-grazing baggy jeans.
I wouldn’t call the Lee High-rise Flared Jeans a perfect replacement for this pair either, as it has some obvious differences, but it’s up to you to choose which is better.
For lovers of jeans that hug the hips, both provide that to you, even with a high-rise waistband. One of the big differences between the two is this Leenah Jean’s flare is not as wide as that of this pair of Lee’s and the transition in the Lee jeans is not as smooth.
While the Leenah jeans are ankle-grazing, the Lee jeans here are a bootcut flare which justifies why a raw hem addition would be absurd.
The two pairs have equal levels of elastane but Lee jeans have an addition of polyester (elastomultiester), which guarantees a more durable fabric compared to the Leenah jeans.
The Lee jeans made it to the top with a 4.1 rating on Knoji. You might want to check other Lee jeans out there.
Pros:
- Better durability
- Belt loops
- Affordable
- True to size
Cons:
- Not a perfect replacement for Leenah jeans
- Lower breathability
- Heavyweight fabric
NYDJ Marilyn Straight Leg Jeans
NYDJ is another top-rated brand on Knoji. You probably already know them, as its brand recognition alone is rated 5 out of 5.
Cindy’s high-rise raw hem jeans have been picked as one of the top jeans in PAIGE’s list and will be compared to similar jeans under the NYDJ brand.
The Cindy jean is more of a split hem than a raw hem, with a slim but straight fit. The Marilyn jeans from NYDJ are a similarly slim and straight fit too. Both pairs are high-waisted, with belt loops, a zip fly, and a button closure.
While PAIGE’s Cindy jeans can go as high as $135, the Marilyn jeans have their price capped at $68 so, if you care about how much money you are spending on a pair of jeans, you might want to check this pair out.
The two Jeans are made up of the same fabrics; cotton, rayon, polyester, and elastane. You can be assured that quality is not sacrificed when you go for the cheaper option.
The Marilyn jean comes true to size so you don’t have to go through the stress of looking for a perfect fit. The total rating of NYDJ in all areas (Customer service, bonuses, quality, etc.) is 4.3.
Pros:
- More Affordable
- Equal durability
- Belt loops
- True to size
Cons:
- Not a perfect replacement for Cindy jeans.
DKNY Coated Skinny Jeans
This is a comparison of two coated skinny jeans. Not all brands offer coated jeans but PAIGE has a coated version of almost all of its jean styles, giving them a highly attractive appearance.
You might want to check out the two compared jeans. Before the comparison begins, coated jeans appear like leather pants but have more breathability. It appears shiny and painted, and the stretch makes it look spray-painted on you.
DKNY is another recognized fashion brand on the list. This pair is like the basic skinny jeans with a black coating. It has nothing more special than that. It is thick and stretchy.
The fabric is composed of cotton, polyester, and elastane. That guarantees your jeans a long life.
You might want to check out the PAIGE Flaunt Cheeky jeans too. It has a more attractive image of a coated jeans.

- True to size
- Thick and stretchy
- Belt loops
- Black Coating
- High durability
- Affordable
Cons:
- Not a perfect replacement for Flaunt Cheeky
- Heavyweight
LUCKY BRAND Ava Mid-rise Skinny Jeans
Lucky Brand is one of the biggest fashion brands with an unsurprising five-star rating on brand recognition. Lucky them!
Asides from the dark attractive color of the Transcend Verdugo, with which we are comparing, there is nothing much to say about these jeans, as they are both plain.
The Ava Mid-rise Skinny Jeans are very skinny and Stretchy, like the Transcend Verdugo. There is no doubt you have heard or tried out the Transcend Verdugo and the pair is always hyped for its fit and appearance.
The Ava Mid-rise is not a perfect replacement, as it runs smaller. Asides from that, it’s the same. Both jeans are mid-rise, with high durability.
If you love Transcend Verdugo for how it feels on you or how long it lasts, this is the replacement you need. Lucky Brand has an overall rating of 4.3 out of 5. You should check it out.
