Too bad they are gone. Try Madewell?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191244 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 14:06:27 +0000 Helena 2191244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah! The BR jeans went out of stock :(</p> <p>I ordered two different pairs: <ul> <li>a wide leg pair from ON</li> <li>a cigarette style pair from Gap</li> </ul> Similar to finds but not exact ... sufficiently different from what I have to be worthwhile; the ON ones are more of a wild card whereas the Gap ones look like an easy fit to my wardrobe. We shall see!</p> <p>Holding off on khakis as frankly I don't see myself ironing them ... might do the khaki thing for shorts when the warm weather comes ... and will keep an eye on the Joe Fresh kick flares, but I realized I do have a similar pair in my holding zone pile (it strikes again!)</p> <p>Thanks everyone for your help! Suntiger, you are probably right lol!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191229 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 12:17:35 +0000 RobinF 2191229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like a nice basic jean, definitely worth a try. I agree that you might also like a different color like a white or khaki. Especially if they are for mostly summer wear.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191225 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 11:55:21 +0000 Anonymous 2191225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla's would be great on you! Personally I see no real difference between straights and skinnies most of the time. My guess is it's a retail ploy: "skinnies are Out, toss them straightaway!!! But these look the same and we'll call them straight and people will dash out to buy them." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191224 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 11:50:07 +0000 Helena 2191224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I'll take a look! Thanks for the tip, and the right price for trying on a trend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191177 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 02:57:09 +0000 Anonymous 2191177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah , I had another idea ! Do you like cropped flares ? Joe Fresh has the cutest ones in 2 diff blue washes right now for $29 I think . Seriously . I’d buy them if I didn’t already have a couple pair Nice crisp jeans with no distressing , no raw hems etc. They would be SO cute on you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191175 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 02:55:00 +0000 Anonymous 2191175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah , sorry . I forgot everything was shut down again . The Bay often has decent jeans - and carries Levi’s . And a high five to chinos / khakis - I’m sure you’d find them SO useful . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191148 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 00:41:44 +0000 Jaime 2191148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely worth a try. Do you have free shipping and returns? Why not throw in an alternate style just to try if you are having them shipped anyway. Just a thought . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191145 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 00:34:35 +0000 Helena 2191145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! Ok so seems like these are worth a try ... Notsaf, that's a good point about the wide legs, so maybe I'll look at some wider options too, and Carla, I'll look at MWWH!</p> <p>Lisa, I did wonder if something more like a khaki would be a better choice ... They seem to be trending?? Hmmm ... I wish I could go to a mall *sob* lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191140 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:56:00 +0000 Sal 2191140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you will go wrong with straight leg mid wash denim - such a good classic!&nbsp; These look good to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191137 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:53:22 +0000 Glory 2191137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these would be a great addition and a fun wash for the spring and summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191133 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:50:43 +0000 Suz 2191133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a lighter wash is good for summer. The great thing about BR is that returns are easy-peasy, so trying them out is a no-brainer!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191127 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:46:35 +0000 Roxanna 2191127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you on purchasing from the Gap trio - with the lockdown, it’s just easiest, especially with jeans. Though I hadn’t considered MWIW, Carla! I always forget that place exists. Good reminder!</p> <p>Lisa - winners and all retail closed until at least may 20th... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191119 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:30:20 +0000 Anonymous 2191119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also wondering if you might like a pair in ivory / cream/ bone . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191118 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:30:00 +0000 slim cat 2191118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great for spring-summer- I like the wash and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191117 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:29:11 +0000 Anonymous 2191117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your choice from BR , Helena , but also like Carla’s idea of some Levi’s .

The little extra width at the ankle is nice. I do absolutely know what you mean about pairing with boots, though I find lighter wash jeans are too high contrast with boots in the winter anyway, so I save them for warm weather and thus allow for a roomier leg. But ymmv! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191111 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:10:51 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2191111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style, but if it comes in an even lighter wash, that might be nice for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191088 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 21:39:45 +0000 Anonymous 2191088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these for you! They seem versatile and different enough without being a big switch. Agree that the wash is great for summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191082 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 21:19:15 +0000 SarahD8 2191082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great, Helena. You know what you like and you know what fits, so I say milk it. Subtle forms of variety seem to work quite well for you and these look like they fit the bill vis a vis your everyday jeans. I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191081 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 21:18:19 +0000 RoseandJoan 2191081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are very nice, the lighter wash may open up some different styling options for the summer.</p> <p>I like the length and the higher rise, I also like the white contrast stitching which looks fresh to my eye. My only pause is the fading across the bahookie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-jeans-shop#post-2191080 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 21:06:11 +0000 Helena 2191080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, Suz suggested I might want to consider duping my jeans, if only to deal with laundry bottlenecks, and she has a great point - I have been guilty of being TOO frugal, and perhaps wearing the same jeans literally almost every day is an example :)</p> <p>Anyway, I'm feeling the urge for something different, but I know from experience that a tweak is generally better than a pivot for me - so I want a little different but it doesn't have to be a lot different. I found a pair at BR that might good to try? They are pretty classic, a slim-straight with a higher rise, and in a lighter wash than I usually wear, but they still seem to be in line with my usual streamlined jeans style (and won't be a nightmare with boots in cold weather).&nbsp;</p> <p>Would love your thoughts? Do these look current to your eyes?</p> <p>I am open to other suggestions too - although I admit I will probably ultimately purchase from the "Gap trio" because I know my size, the price is right and their online shopping situation is good (retail is closed here still).&nbsp;</p> <p>I definitely DON'T want a true skinny or jegging, or a dark wash because I have that option in my closet and don't want to wear it right now particularly. I am open to a straighter or wider leg, although I'm not feeling bootcuts or barrel-legs for myself. Lmk what you think! </p>
