I had some fantastic straight leg jeans from there last year and the price can't be beat! Check out Scoop for all the high end denim brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-ish-skinnies-to-try-in-nyc#post-64472 Fri, 08 May 2009 16:07:57 +0000 Ele 64472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link, Inge. I've got a few more brands on my shortlist now. Thanks for chiming in about the Matchsticks, Maya, that's good to know. 7.5" is a bit lower than what I'm looking for. If I find myself in a J. Crew I'll give them a whirl, but I won't bother otherwise. </p> <p>Good sample sale tip, too. I'll be in Soho on the first day to get my hair cut, so I'll keep a lookout. I've mainly stuck to department stores for jeans in the past- my friend who I'm visiting loves Bloomingdale's, and I've had good luck at Barney's before. Other than that I don't really shop too much when in NYC- I'm usually too busy eating;)</p> <p>Anyone else have ideas? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-ish-skinnies-to-try-in-nyc#post-64300 Thu, 07 May 2009 19:50:16 +0000 Maya 64300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a pear and even I found the Matchsticks were just too slim-cut to fit around my hips and bum. They are also low rise. Mine were 7.5" in the front, and 11" in the back. It never hurts to try, but I wouldn't go out of my way.</p> <p>I can't rave enough about my Rich and Skinny High jeans, but I don't know where you would find them. I got mine online. It seems a bit harder to do such specific shopping in a brick and mortar store, unless you go there knowing in advance (through a friend or whatever) that what you want is there.</p> <p>I would also stroll around Soho and look for sample sales. With the current recession, they are all over the place and you can get premium jeans for $80 or so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-ish-skinnies-to-try-in-nyc#post-64276 Thu, 07 May 2009 16:34:30 +0000 Inge 64276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ele</p> <p>I'm sure they others will chime in with excellent suggestions soon. You can also search for jeans by 'rise' on this website. Maybe that can help narrow it down too?<br /> <a href="http://www.searchbyinseam.com/searchbyinseaminfo/narrowsearch.aspx?f=1&#038;AddRiseListBox=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.searchbyinseam.com/.....eListBox=3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-ish-skinnies-to-try-in-nyc#post-64229 Thu, 07 May 2009 13:08:07 +0000 Ele 64229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, ladies. In preparation for my trip to NYC at the end of the month, I'm trying to plan out some of the shopping I'll be doing. I won't have a lot to spend, but one thing I'm on the hunt for is a new pair of jeans- I usually try to get a new pair every time I go, as the prices for premium denim here in London are ridiculous. (The cheapskate in me can't stand the thought of paying £170 here when the same thing would cost $190 there!) </p> <p>I am looking for dark wash, straight leg jeans with a high-ish rise. I am slightly pear shaped, so straight-ish legs work better than true skinnies on me. I've got two pairs that I'm getting wear out of right now- some Paige "Blue Heights" skinnies, and some Earnest Sewn Deccas. I like the cut of both, but wish the rises were a bit higher. I don't mind spending around $200 USD, but won't go too much higher than that. </p> <p>I think I'm going to hunt down the COH Elsons, and maybe try J. Crew's Matchsticks (although I think the consensus here might be that they don't work for pears? ) Can anybody think of any other specific styles that I should check out? </p>
