They are my absolute favorite slim straight jeans and come in lots of different washes. They have a 100% cotton version and another with a little bit of stretch, and several different inseams. At a great price point!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/local-shopping-the-jeans-saga-continues#post-2196047 Mon, 17 May 2021 19:08:37 +0000 Suz 2196047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad they are working for you!&nbsp;<i></i>Interesting about the Emersons!

I'm surprised the Levi's work, maybe I'll have to give them a try. Although I am also short so maybe that would make a difference.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/local-shopping-the-jeans-saga-continues#post-2195919 Mon, 17 May 2021 13:12:49 +0000 viva 2195919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, I especially love that the cut is like a loose skinny - no calf-sucking tightness, and a little room around the ankle. There is something about the fabric too; it feels like a heavier denim. I'm so surprised they work so well, but then again, I grew up in Levis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/local-shopping-the-jeans-saga-continues#post-2195851 Mon, 17 May 2021 03:16:04 +0000 Jaime 2195851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans are my #1 need a try on article of clothing.

Oh the joy of finding good jeans If you like Wedgies, 501’s might also work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/local-shopping-the-jeans-saga-continues#post-2195758 Sun, 16 May 2021 15:00:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2195758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see the Levi’s on you? The stock photo looks much more like skinny jeans than I thought you were going for. I’m with you on the value of local shops and of underwear that fits well &amp; makes you feel good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/local-shopping-the-jeans-saga-continues#post-2195752 Sun, 16 May 2021 13:47:15 +0000 viva 2195752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, just a quick update.</p> <p>The Citizens Emerson jeans arrived and I was immediately thrown back into the challenge of mid-rises! (As a reminder, high-rise is often hard because my waist is typically a size or two larger than my hips.) The challenge with a true mid-rise is that I don't have a curve to my hips to keep them in place. These are super comfortable but the fit is not ideal and they are expensive.</p> <p>Yesterday, on impulse, I went into a local boutique and they had Levis Wedgie jeans. Really affordable - $85 - and they are a high waist style but not a super high waist. They fit my thighs but are not tight. I just got the larger of my two sizes and I loved the way they looked and felt. (The find shows them on sale at Nordstrom but not in my size - but if you're looking, this is a great wash and its $55!).</p> <p>Pictures to come.</p>
