My daughter swears by them and I bought a pair. Substantial denim and a decent rise. Love the sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776440 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 18:53:37 +0000 tulle 1776440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever you to grab those amazing artshirts from the men's department! And with tops like those, who will notice your pants anyway?&nbsp; Jeans shopping is the worst.&nbsp; When I find good ones, it's usually by accident, so stay open to serendipity!&nbsp; Like DonnaF, I've had some good luck in thrift shops.&nbsp; Speaking of serendipity:&nbsp; inspired by your post on the patchwork jeans/nude suede pump combo, I decided to order the $29 Sun &amp; Shadow pair from the Rack, and I really like them, so thanks!&nbsp; Still looking for the right pumps . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776429 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 18:03:46 +0000 DonnaF 1776429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those sweatshirts!&nbsp; Jeans shopping can be so ego deflating.&nbsp; Expense aside, I won't even try on premium denim because I have the sense that nearly all are cut for a very different body type than I have.&nbsp; I picked up a pair of MiH flares at Goodwill for $10 without knowing they retail for $200+.</p> <p>You have such great gams; maybe this is the universe telling you that you should show them off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776368 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 14:24:20 +0000 Janet 1776368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I saw that Basquiat print in the women's section too (Alice + Olivia)-- but on a teensy crop top, for $250. </p> <p>I'm kind of drawn to the Joy Division-esque sweatshirt, but I really don't need another sweatshirt since I bought that grommet one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776363 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 14:19:50 +0000 Janet 1776363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am avoiding shopping for jeans (well, for most everything) at the moment, so I sympathize. I'm even a bit disappointed at the last jeans I bought at normally-reliable Lucky Brand last fall. Somehow the newer fabrication of the Lolita cut stretches and bags out more than the old ones I have. :-/ And I always like them because they actually provide tall lengths. Darn it. </p> <p>I wish I had some good suggestions for you. I noticed in a couple of quick store visits lately that denim sizes stocked on the racks are topping out at 30 (at least around here), which is really disappointing. Some larger sizes seem to be available online, but it is such a hassle to order and try on multiple styles and multiple sizes. </p> <p>I'm just making do with what I currently have, even though much of it is a bit snug at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776335 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 12:23:04 +0000 Inge 1776335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so hear you, Anna -((<br />And I'm sorry this jeans search is getting you down. I agree with Bella, but it can still be tough to deal with.</p> <p>Have you looked at Gap? They have a few interesting options, and their denim usually goes up to a size 35 or 36.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5664#pageId=0&amp;department=136">http://www.gap.com/browse/cate.....rtment=136</a></p> <p>For example, I could see you in the Archive re-issue pleated it pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776332 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 11:49:31 +0000 Bijou 1776332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I hate buying more than jeans is swimsuits - and living in Australia, you have to buy them regularly! Sometimes you just have to hang in there and hope that the perfect pair is just around the corner.</p> <p>It truely is not you...you always look amazing because you have great style and will do so at any size or age. &nbsp;The Basquiat sweatshirts are wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776326 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 11:34:48 +0000 bella 1776326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not you, it's the clothes. So don't let this stupid jeans search bring your morale down. There's hardly anything I hate more than jeans shopping, so I completely relate!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776246 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 04:19:41 +0000 Anonymous 1776246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to say that I hate jeans too . I spent a lot of money on a (what I thought anyways ) premium pair of jeans a couple of weeks ago because I no longer have anything that fits . And yes , I realize that I say this all the time , which means I am gaining weight all the time . Anyways , I am so excited to have some fancy new jeans , wear them twice and they are now too baggy and big . Not what you're talking about , I know , but still . I can't afford to be replacing jeans every month in an experiment to find a pair that fits . I'm still really ticked off . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776239 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 04:02:36 +0000 K2 1776239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently discovered a Jen 7 jeans and I find they fit well, tho some are probably thinnner and more stretchy then you may like. They don't bag out either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776233 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 03:35:21 +0000 rebekahphoto 1776233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jean shopping! I feel your pain. I just ordered (and returned) a whole bunch of black levis-skinny/straights..I wanted simple, classic &amp; instead just got so ...much ...camel toe, yuk! </p> <p>I have found good luck with James Jeans, so thats a plus</p> <p>I love the basquiat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776214 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 02:55:14 +0000 Marlene 1776214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans always stretch out after wearing! &nbsp;Do these feel like they would loosen after a bit? &nbsp;</p> <p>I am basically living in leggings these days. &nbsp;Even my largest jeans don't fit any more. &nbsp;I know how you are feeling right now. &nbsp;Its rather disgruntling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776213 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 02:54:57 +0000 Jaime 1776213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna those jeans are impossible to judge at this angle, but are you sure they are no gos? What about unixex jeans like Levi's 501s? Of course men's jeans come in a whole range of sizes. And regarding those wide Madewell jeans, I actually tried them when they were on sale and I was having people come from the US and they fit weird. I still have them though because it was final sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776209 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 02:45:34 +0000 rabbit 1776209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those sweatshirts are awesome!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776207 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 02:43:15 +0000 unfrumped 1776207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need some new full length jeans and can't even bring myself to shop because I dread the results. And I don't know where they get some of their ideas about buttons and snaps and such.<br /> Very cool sweatshirt designs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776166 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 00:20:52 +0000 madeline 1776166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have luck with Old Navy for jeans-take a look.

None of their current offerings worked. They had these great high rise black wide crops, basically similar to the Rachel Comey's. Unfortunately it flattened out my butt considerably, and just made me feel like crud.<br />I look occasionally online at JC Penney's because I get their emails, but nothing grabs me. Though they do have great sales. Today I looked for jeans, but nothing spoke to me.<br />Maybe I'll try Universal Standard.&nbsp;<br />This whole endeavor just heaps onto my low esteem at the moment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776139 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 22:41:29 +0000 minimalist 1776139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This suggestion is way downmarket from your usual duds, but is anything that's available now from NYDJ viable?</p> <p>Love the sweatshirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1776070 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 19:16:13 +0000 Marilyn 1776070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had a dollar for every pair of jeans/pants I've tried on and left behind......**sigh**</p> <p>Keep trying!

It's not the most exciting place to shop, but you will easily find your size. My last three pair of jeans have come from there, and all three have lasted and worn well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1775856 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 04:27:28 +0000 gradfashionista 1775856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look good from that angle. I have larger hips, but didn't like DL1961--too tight, rough texture, and a propensity to slip down my hips. In the summer, I discovered the AG Beau, and am a huge fan. It does run large. I am a true 30, but wear 28 in the Beau. It's a slim BF, not baggy, higher rise without looking high rise. Unlike the Dre, I've found the sizing consistent in different washes. It does stretch out a bit with wear, but they're super comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1775855 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 04:25:22 +0000 Style Fan 1775855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweatshirts.&nbsp; I have never worn button flies.&nbsp; Too much fuss for me.&nbsp; I can not see how they would work on skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1775852 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 04:21:48 +0000 Anonymous 1775852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DL1961 sells direct on the internet and many styles are offered in 33 and 34. I love their thick substantial denim. Not very practical in my climate, but yummy all the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgh-jeans#post-1775826 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 02:55:01 +0000 Diana 1775826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always have that problem with button flies!
