I love these, too!!<br /><br />I might just have to try a pair for myself.&nbsp;<br /><br />My daughter stole my Gap Sexy BFs. But I was mad at that sexy BF anyway because he was too <b>SHORT</b>.&nbsp;<br /><br />I have a fun pair of BR slouchy skinnies that are distressed. And I love them. But sometimes a girl does not <b>want</b> distress.&nbsp;<br /><br />So then I ordered a pair of Gap original fit selvage jeans. And I am liking them so far. But they are distressed, too.&nbsp;<br /><br />I want what you've got, gorgeous one!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-889424 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:31:27 +0000 texstyle 889424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Late to this post but so glad you loved these - and Angie loved these - I also love them on you. &nbsp;I bought a couple of pair after DH complimented me. &nbsp;I live in jeans all fall/winter and spring (when we have spring weather) so I really look for comfort plus figure flattery and this is a great combo. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-883152 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:06:10 +0000 K. Period. 883152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ariadne, so glad you loved them, my style sister! &nbsp;I sized up a single size. &nbsp;They fit snugly out of the package or out of the (shhhh! don't tell Angie) dryer), but they loosened up at least a size within an hour of wear. &nbsp;I had planned to&nbsp;size up two sizes, but my bff scoffed at me, so I kept the smaller size and she was right that they would have been much too big in two sizes up. &nbsp;I also went with a regular length, but I could have easily gone for a short to get more of a boyfriend look. &nbsp;<br /><br />ETA: Sized up a single size from my Gap/BR/JCrew size. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-883140 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:50:11 +0000 Ariadne 883140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love them so much! &nbsp;I want to try them (my jeans are all falling off me right now, and the price point can't be beat). &nbsp;Did you size up from your usual size? &nbsp;I'm trying to figure out if AE runs small (juniors sizing) or not. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-882698 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:02:25 +0000 Anonymous 882698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ AE Jeans never disappoint!&nbsp;<div>You look great!</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-882694 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 02:55:27 +0000 K.

I love the slouchy but not sloppy fit! What style are these, do you know? Good for you for finding the right bf and not settling! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-881500 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:34:37 +0000 Aida 881500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ K that's essentially what I did too, bought a pair of relaxed slim-straights a size up. And of course also stole a pair of my husband's actual jeans, but that's a totally different look These look great on you, I'm especially liking them at full length! I'd like to see either a smaller roll or a messier roll though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-friend-jeans#post-881493 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:28:45 +0000 K. Period. 881493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm giving up on boyfriend jeans. I've tried on so many in the past months&nbsp;that I feel like I've gone through ten boyfriend jean speed dating rounds. They just aren't working for me. &nbsp;I know I'm picky: worn, but not holey. Faded, but not torn. Loose, but not so loose that I lose my shape. DH mustn't wince when he sees them. &nbsp;I just couldn't find a pair to work for me. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago, I got a few pairs of AE jeans to try on at the suggestion of a forum member. (Shout out to the ever-awesome&nbsp;Texstyle!) &nbsp;As soon as I opened the package, I loved them. &nbsp;I like the low cut and how it made them look a little boyish. I like the fabulous fading. &nbsp;I like that they are slim cut, but not skinnies. &nbsp;More of slim straight leg. &nbsp;I snapped a few pics of them in various states of rolled and unrolled to get an idea how they looked. &nbsp;They aren't styled. &nbsp;I just wanted to capture them before I got too busy. &nbsp;I really like them. I like how they reminded me of jeans that I'd had for a really long time. &nbsp;Just a little loose. &nbsp;A smidge slouchy. Soft. Faded. Not holey yet. &nbsp;And ridiculously cheap. &nbsp;Like $25 cheap. &nbsp;<br /><br />So that, my stylish forum friends, is why I've ditched my would-be boyfriends and settled in with my old friend jeans. &nbsp;Anyone feel like&nbsp;joining me?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
