If I make it there this weekend I'll give it a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22475 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:11:55 +0000 Angie 22475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Juli juli - try skinny Sevens, Citizens and Marc Jacobs at Nordies downtown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22383 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:58:14 +0000 Antje 22383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, great to hear that the Mia skinnies from Express worked well for you. What's interesting is that for me, both the Mia and the Matchsticks work; they look differently and I'll wear them with different tops, but both are wearable. It just shows how individual the matter of fit really is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22379 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:43:22 +0000 julijuli 22379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - can you give some premium skinny suggestions for pears? I was thinking of going down to Nordies and trying on the Paige version but if you have experience with others I'd love to hear about them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22364 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:25:16 +0000 Angie 22364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice suggestions. If you want premium skinny jeans suggestions, I can help you out with those too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22361 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:15:14 +0000 Sarah 22361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just for the record I love my Matchsticks. Just goes to prove that each body is wonderfully unique. I'm glad you have found something that works for you, laura65. I'm thinking of trying Express when I look for a pair of skinnies to wear under boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22357 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:58:11 +0000 julijuli 22357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - I would love to see a photo of you in the Mias. Sounds like we are a similar size &#38; shape and skinnies are on my fall list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22354 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:30:17 +0000 Nicole 22354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad I read this thread. A pair of straight jeans to wear as skinnies is on my wish list for the fall. I have a few things to try on when I go shopping with my sister on Sunday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22353 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:06:18 +0000 Laura 22353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies - thanks for the great advice. I returned the matchsticks and brought home a pair of Mias that fit MUCH better. Maybe I needed to get used to the look? Now the challenge is on to find something to wear with them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22315 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:52:37 +0000 Ana 22315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the J Brand white skinnies and I love them! </p> <p>Laura, maybe the turkey drumstick thing comes more from the width of the knee and foot opening. I have muscular thighs, and while I can't avoid this look totally, I've found that a 14"-15" leg opening (in actuality a straight leg jean) is much more flattering than something that is ultra skinny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22254 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:03:34 +0000 Laura 22254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I am totally dying -- "amaaaazing" -- yes, if you find turkey drumsticks to be attractive!! Anyway ... I am sure there are plenty of people who look great in them. I will check out the Mia jeans and let me know if how J Brand works out. Meanwhile, maybe I should look into more of a straight leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22250 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:42:59 +0000 Dani 22250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I can't wear the matchstick either (even though the sales people insist I look "amaaazing" in them ) I haven't found a lower price alternative but I just ordered J Brand from revolve clothing online. If you haven't ordered from them before, there is a 30% discount on your first order if you call customer service after you place the order (or order through customer service). I'll let you know how they work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22246 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:22:26 +0000 Maya 22246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh Antje or Sihaya, would you mind measuring the front and back rise of the Mia jeans for me please? I was thinking of getting a pair for boot tucking season. </p> <p>Sorry for the unhelpful reply Laura--I am also seeking reasonably priced skinnies. I have the Matchsticks as well and although I loved them at first, my love has worn thin. The rise on them is just ridiculous and they are pretty stiff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22245 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:22:07 +0000 Anonymous 22245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't be horrified. The Matchstick jeans do not work for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22239 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:06:24 +0000 Antje 22239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought the MIA style at Express last night, while I was shopping with Sihaya (what fun we had!) She recommended them and they were indeed a great find. They are mid-rise ultra-skinnies, available in a few different blue rinses (I got the dark wash; sadly they don't come in black) and are very comfy.<br /> I'm an hourglass, usually size 8, though I might have actually bought these in a 10 but can't be 100% sure and am at work so I can't check.<br /> They do not look flattering with shorter tops on me; I bought them to wear with dresses and long tunic tops.<br /> Might want to give these a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-jeans-who-makes-the-best#post-22224 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:12:47 +0000 Laura 22224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,<br /> I brought home a pair of JCrew matchsticks, all excited with my YLF-approved purchase, and when I tried them on, I was horrified to see that from my side profile, I looked like a turkey drumstick! </p> <p>Help - I am 5'3" and usually wear a 6 petite. I have 2 pairs of David Kahn bootcuts and LOVE them but I was trying to avoid paying David Kahn prices for the skinnies. Are there any brands that you've had success with and are flattering?? Thanks everyone! </p>
