I'd love to see a photo of those jeans in action. They look great to me, but then I'm pretty devoted to the mom jean look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-recommendation-and-a-jean-report#post-1922033 Thu, 24 May 2018 19:11:24 +0000 Sal 1922033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is surprisingly hard to find good jeans and simple tees so sounds like a winner to me.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-recommendation-and-a-jean-report#post-1922025 Thu, 24 May 2018 18:58:18 +0000 Janet 1922025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the Madewell jeans in store not long ago and also thought the wash was really good. Too high waisted for me, but I bet worth trying if you can. I'm glad you had jean shopping success, and what a great deal!&nbsp;</p> <p>Madewell has made good linen tees in the past too -- I have some from three years ago, I think, and they've held up very well. Slightly sheer but not indecent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-recommendation-and-a-jean-report#post-1922024 Thu, 24 May 2018 18:53:29 +0000 annagybe 1922024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are definitely not conventionally flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-recommendation-and-a-jean-report#post-1922022 Thu, 24 May 2018 18:51:06 +0000 Thistle 1922022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review!</p> <p>I struggled with their linen tees in the past being itchy and ended up returning. Glad they fixed that.</p> <p>Hmmm, not sure about manrepeller jeans. I just bought some from Talbots. They are high-waisted, but I always wear my shirts untucked, so there's that.</p> <p>What did you find manrepeller about them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-recommendation-and-a-jean-report#post-1922017 Thu, 24 May 2018 18:29:47 +0000 annagybe 1922017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So over the weekend I went to a local outdoor mall. I wanted to get the Madewell Perfect summer jeans in a size 32 or 33. I have a 31 from a couple years ago that I can technically wear but definitely not comfy and serious muffin top. They didn't have those sizes in stock.<br />I went to the Gap which had already started their Memorial Day sale.<br />I found these high rise straight leg jeans. Surprisingly for Gap I had to go to a 33, because generally they run large. The denim definitely feels thick and substantial, like old school stuff. However, the fit is definitely Manrepelling, probably borderline unflattering. More like a vintage store look. But they were $20 with an extra bit off, making them $17, final sale. I think I can make them work with the right top and shoes; thinking of making a tall cuff or just rolling the cuff, if I do full length, then a small heel. If you're interested definitely try them on in store, plus it's way cheaper. After looking at the reviews, many said they ran small, and the overall the reviews are mixed.<br />But here's the absolute recommendation, the linen tees. I got them in store for $10, WAY cheaper than online. The linen is not scratchy, and pretty soft, which was very nice, considering I find most linen tees are on the rough side. It is semi-sheer. I got the lilac and white in a large, which fit with a nice bit of drape. I actually might wear the white with a black bra for intentional show through. They also had black and navy. I though about the black, but was worried about fading.&nbsp;<br />I might still look for the Madewell jeans, because the wash is so great.</p> <p>ETA: I might go to the Gap downtown and see if the cropped light wash is similarly priced.</p>
