I bought the highest-rated pair of jeans on Amazon under $25 and will never buy jeans in-store again

First, I adjusted my search filters to find the best pair under $25.

It was then that I decided on a pair of Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. Gold Label skinny jeans.

Marked as an "Amazon's Choice" item, the jeans were $24.99 with Prime shipping. I ordered them in a size 6 regular, my usual size, in a medium to dark wash.

I figured these jeans would be a safe bet and they looked like they would be decent quality. Knowing the Levi brand, I had high hopes for the jeans.

The jeans had an average 4.5-star rating from 3,829 reviews, which was extremely positive compared to other jeans I saw on the site.

One reviewer said she loved them so much, she wanted a second pair, while others showed off their jeans in photo reviews.

When my jeans arrived, I was excited to see how they would compare to other skinny jeans I've purchased in the past.

When I removed them from the Amazon package, I immediately liked what I saw. They seemed high quality.

They were well-packaged and didn't look like they had ever been tried on.

This was definitely a plus, as I've tried jeans on in-store before and felt like they weren't as fresh as they could have been after being tried on multiple times.

The stitching looked well-done, and the actual material of the jeans was thick.

The pockets also appeared well-constructed.

Examining them more, I really liked the slightly-faded wash and the fabric.

These felt like really good quality jeans — even more so than pricier jeans I currently own.

Slipping them on, they had the perfect amount of stretch.

Honestly, these jeans fit me better than any other jeans I've ever owned — including my $75 Roadtripper jeans from Madewell.

They were tight but didn't dig in anywhere. When it comes to skinny jeans, it can be hard to escape that "10-pound sausage in a 5-pound bag" feeling, but I felt confident in these.

Sometimes when buying cheap jeans, you end up with something similar to a legging. However, these were clearly well-made.

They came with four pockets, a button, and a zip. They were comfortable, very flattering, and true to size. I also think that people one size higher or lower could most likely fit into them, due to the stretch of the fabric.

My colleagues, upon hearing I was reviewing jeans from Amazon, asked if they could feel how thick they were — and they were impressed.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised at the quality — and wanted to order a pair for themselves.

Not only was I impressed with my purchase, but I would buy more pairs of the Levi Strauss & Co. Gold Label skinny jeans in other colors. My only note is that while the jeans were marketed as "mid-rise," I felt they were more high-waisted since they went up past my belly button.

I would rate these jeans 5 stars, especially considering they were under $25.

Paired with blazers or a going-out top, I know I'm going to get a ton of wear out of them.

Next time you're in the market for a pair of jeans, maybe consider checking out Amazon's clothing selection. You might just find your new go-to pair.
