I have been wearing the same jeans all week because of the snow. They are the worst fitting pair of jeans I own right now and I SO want to get rid of them but I just can't find a good replacement. I wore my R&S jeans tucked into boots for the YLF convention, but I'd rather not make a habit of it because they get quite wrinkly at the bottom and they were a bit bunchy anyway. I just find skinny jeans so uncomfortable. My H&M skinnies were very rigid and clingy (and now they're way too small and the rise is much too low, hence passing them on). The Express Mias seemed great initially but the rise is still too low, the wash is significantly duller than before, and the material is thin and cheap. They are too tight in a size 2 and too big in a size 4, so they just seem like they're a bad cut for me, even though they have worked well for other people here.

A lot of people recommended Cheap Monday, but I'm hesitant about how they wear. The Very Stretch jeans sound good in theory--at least they won't be rigid and uncomfortable. But they also seem like they will bag out pretty soon. I feel like I'm just too curvy on the bottom for this style, but I know other curvy ladies here have had success with skinnies. What do you recommend? I want something with a high rise (9.5" or higher) and dark or black wash.
