Jeans | Pad Patter 6.24

I love jeans and wear them often.
Skinny? LOL, you wouldn't want to see me in skinny jeans, that's for certain. I wear either boot cut or - even better -
with a flare leg (I don't care if it's trendy or not, but only whether I feel good in them).
Slightly distressed is fine, but no holes and stuff, that's for the younger ones. Nothing worse than older people dressing like teenagers.
My favourite brand is Freeman Porter - I still have about five pairs that I keep in storage for the times when I fit into them again, yeah, right!

 

Honestly, I think Old Navy is your best bet. They have absolutely any cut, style, waist type, etc. You have to get somebody to help you or I make my daughter go with me to help look. I have to have jeans that sit RIGHT at my waist. Not above or below. I'm very low-waisted and they're hard for me to find. They have to say "sits right at the waist". I also like flared or boot cut but sometimes boot cut are too straight for my taste. I just don't look good in skinny jeans and I wish they'd go out of style. They've been around too long. Ugh. I do have some tights that look like jeans that I wear with long tops and boots. My favorite brand for any tights is Hue and I get them on Amazon.

Back to style of jeans, I like them slightly distressed (lighter color of denim) not ever dark denim. I have to have soft jeans.

 

I have a bit of an obsession with Old Navy Rockstar Jeggings... so incredibly comfortable. I would be embarrassed to admit how many pairs I own

 

Love wearing jeans.

My favorites are Lee brand, mid-rise boot cut. I find the mid-rise sit the best at my waist. Low-rise are very uncomfortable because of how my stomach protrudes below my waist. I call it my "pooch". I'm also short so high-rise come too close to the boobs.

No holes in the jeans (those are work around the house jeans) for me but I wear any color... light blue, darker blue and black. Black are actually my favorite. On a related note, I cleaned out the section of my closet that had older jeans/pants that I have not worn for many years. I had some green ones (think between olive and sage in color) and PURPLE!

 

Jeans is the death of me --- I have really long legs so finding jeans that sit at my waist correctly (plus size) that is talls so they don't hit above my ankles is like impossible. Definitely no skinny jeans (see the plus size) so that makes it even tougher. I think the clothing industry thinks everybody that is plus size is short or that tall people is really thin.

 

I love jeans!!!!!!!! I have a luscious booty so it's not always easy to find something petite that fits me. LOL!!!

 

Those are like I was describing that I wear only they're made by Hue. I love mine and have them in lots of colors, too. I even have grey ones that go with almost everything.

 

I have the mom jeans by Gloria Vanderbilt (Amanda style) ....

 

Jeans..... I have alot and American Eagle are my favorites!
Skinny mid rise
Jeggings
Flare bottom mid rise
Boot cut mid rise
average length or long length.
Dark for a dresser look
Distressed!!! Love distressed!!
Best bet is just go in and start to try them all on.

I ordered these for summer and Im in love!!

 

Im a big fan of Silver jeans. I have a few skinny's (darker always looks better on larger thighs!) and a few different of the suki style (mid rise, curvy hip/thigh)- they are the SOFTEST, most comfy jeans! They are spendy- so I only will get a pair on sale, but they last forever!

First off, if you have one near you...go to the Buckle. If you don't have Buckle near you, then first check out their webite but if you can't, then look for Silver (mentioned by Amie), Big Star (I think carried by Nordstrom?), Lucky, Gap, or Old Navy (like Tracie mentioned). Please remember that jeans will give, so do NOT buy them loose. And the less natrual fiber (ie cotton) they have, the more out of shape they're likely to become. Buy them slightly snug, so that when they give throughout the day they won't sag enough that they fall off or otherwise look loose and disheveled--plus, who wants to keep hiking up their jeans? (I used to sell jeans as my job...so, yeah, I have done this a lot).

As for what I wear myself: I used to live in jeans, but lately I live in yoga pants. This morning I put on a pair of cute cropped wide-leg pants and my kids basically acted like I was the most fancy they'd ever seen me lol! But I do love jeans. They used to be "casual wear" but now they're "fancy enough to leave the house in" wear lol!

 

Love jeans.... I usually head to Gap, Old Navy, and Kohl's (Jennifer Lopez jeans there). I think I must also look into American Eagle from reading this thread. I'm also going to check out Buckle and Silver.

I usually wear dark... its a bit more slimming. I am about a 10-12 but curvy so I *have* to try them on before I buy. They need a little give, but as time goes on, they stretch, so my Jennifer Lopez ones are a 10. I also love black jeans. I don't have light light ones, but I would like a middle blue, but haven't found some yet.

 

@IntenseMagic If it makes you feel better I have NO boobs!

 

Jeans are my jam...no shorts for me! Today I'm rocking my Joe's jeans with holey knees...because it's Monday LOL

I'm 5'2" and actually prefer the mid to high rise! I love darker washes or a really light wash, but will also rock a medium wash! Distressed is probably my favorite, but not always appropriate for all occasions so I do have some without holes! Gotta have at least one pair of white, jeans...but finding a good opaque pair can be a challenge. I tend to stick to full length pants, the crops never seem to hit in the right place, so I just roll mine.

 

American Eagle skinny kick are my absolute fav. They look good with tennis shoes, boots, and flip flops. I just placed an order for some fat(er) jeans today because I've packed on weight. I usually don't pay more than $20 for a pair.

I had a pair from Old Navy five years ago, and the color rubbed off on my couch. I haven't bought them since.

 

I'm also an AE fan for jeans although lately, if I want something a bit dressier, I also buy at Loft. They tend to be a little more tailored to me now that I'm over 50. They have some great sales. I pretty much always wear skinny jeans since I tend toward the apple shape and curvy jeans that fit my waist look like clown pants on me in the hips.

 

You guys are making me want to buy new jeans!
