Thanks, guys - the Boden jeans are going back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195411 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:30:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 195411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore my Lauren fit David Kahn jeans- especially for wearing with tunics/dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195403 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:04:25 +0000 Michelle 195403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I 100 per cent support the switch to premium denim, especially since you wear jeans a lot. It'll be a worthwhile investment piece for you and will probably pay off more than multiple pairs of Boden pants. If ever there was a candidate for premium denim, it's you! And it looks like straight legs will be around forever, so no worries about acquiring a style that will date. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195375 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:02:33 +0000 Beth 195375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should try them. Yes, really! I've never found a pair of jeans I love more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195372 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:58:53 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 195372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup - I think Angie recommended them to me in the past. I will give it another go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195370 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:54:27 +0000 Beth 195370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MPJ, have you looked at Citizens jeans? I have a pair in the Elson cut (straight leg, decent rise, dark wash) that I'd enter a burning building to save. I think we're built somewhat alike, so you might like them too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195360 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:44:27 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 195360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I feel like I probably didn't give them a fair shot the last time I tried...I think there can be a huge difference within the same size, unfortunately, so I think I just need to devote the time and be willing to have waistbands altered, etc.</p> <p>I realized this when I tried on Gap jeggings...the same size could be HUGELY different in the waistband, and it took a few tries (same size, different pairs) to come up with two favorites.</p> <p>Thanks for the input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195337 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:53:58 +0000 Scarlet 195337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For jeans, good old USA is the best place to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-boden-love-affair-is-on-the-rocks#post-195321 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:38:05 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 195321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I got the black and velvet straight leg jeans today and while I love the rise, they are too small (my fault, should have measured more carefully, as I feel the garment is true to the Boden size chart)...So I can order one size up, but should I (re)consider a (state-side) premium denim straight leg instead? </p> <p>I would get black and a super dark wash...I think I am going to skip the velvet, so that's why I thought, hm, maybe I should look at premium denim again...any brands with a decent rise (the Boden did have a good rise going for them).</p> <p>Right now I have tunics, ponte knit leggings and jeggings, and I'm just looking for maybe one more new-to-me silhouette for fall (straightleg). </p>
