Keep (Yay) or Return (Nay): DKNY Soho Skinny Jeans

Kappy

I am on the hunt for more jeans. I have a hard time finding plus jeans that are long enough (I'm 5' 10"). These are from Macy's. They are the DKNY Soho Skinny Jeans in the Royal Wash (what color is that supposed to be??). I bought the larger size too but they were way too big all over. I have no clue how my jeans are supposed to fit (and have been violating PPL for a long time). Are these too tight and too short? The website said they have a 32' inseam. Vote Yay if I should Keep or Nay if I should return. Comments welcome! Bonus points if you can guess which pics are the model, JK.

I personally prefer my skinnies to have a bit more scrunch at the ankle. That might be difficult with your height unless you get into premium jeans.

hmmm.... I'm thinking they look really nice from the front, but a bit baggy from the rear view. I'd look at other brands.

Hmm, I have to agree with QM, I think they look a little baggy in the rear, and that will only increase as you wear them throughout the day.

BTW I sympathize. I have a hard time getting PPL jeans too. I'm shorter than you, but probably close on inseam measurement. Keep trying, you will find them!

Sorry to say nay. I agree they don't fit perfectly from the back, and the ankles look a bit big to be true skinnies as well -- I don't know if that's important to you, but they look more fitted on the model.

I also think they look a little big in the back--looking at the wrinkling in the thigh and knee area.

I think you can do better -- I agree that they're a little big in the seat and knees, plus I think they're a touch short. I like more scrunch at the ankle.

I second Anna's comment. I actually thought they look good from the back. If you have lots of trouble finding jeans it might be worth hanging onto these.

I think a bit of wrinkling on the rear is unavoidable. I have no idea how the model in the picture manages to avoid this. I like the jeans but agree that a little bit more scrunch would be optimal. Yay, for me.

I think they look nice on you, but they could be a little longer. Have you tried Gap! I have a hard time finding jeans long enough...the longs at Gap have served me well. I'm 5'9 and need a 34 inch inseam.

I think they look alright. How is the rise? I think they could be a *tad* longer. I'm 5'11" so I feel your pain! What I do sometimes (besides never dry any of my jeans) is pull on the legs a little to stretch them when I take them out of the washer. I can get about 1/2" or so more length by doing this.

I've had good luck with Gap jeans as well but I'm personally not a fan of the rise on their straight leg or skinny jeans.

Not yet perfect- nice but I agree with the others- you can find a better pair.
