I regret those expensive jeans.

Use regret + verb ending in -ing to express feeling sorry about a past action. “I regret buying those expensive jeans” means I wish I had not bought them. “Regret to buy” does not fit this meaning; “regret to” is usually used for something you are sorry to do or say now, as in “I regret to inform you.”
