Trying a new size of Eloquii Leigh Jeans. I feel like it's time to size down. I'm just questioning myself a little because I haven't worn snugger fitting jeans for several months.
Size 14, photos 1-2. I like how they feel overall. The lower leg-line is a lot better in this size. They actually look like a slim straight jean. The waist is a bit snug, but I have a feeling the waist will release some. The fabric comp is 62% cotton, 24% polyester, 12% rayon, 2% spandex--more give than cotton-lycra blends.
Size 16, photos 3-4. Lots of wrinkling and excess in the front thigh/hip area. They're comfortable, but they are getting really baggy. They're so large, I can easily take them on and off without unbuttoning them. :} They're wearing out, so not worth taking to a tailor.
The 14 is a bit snugger than I prefer. However, 16s are falling off. I think with it being a slim cut, snugger is better than falling off. FWIW, the 16s used to look and fit pretty close to the 14s. Just been a while since I wore true slim-fitting jeans.
Thoughts?
P.S. Only slight con for me is the color. Eloquii calls this a dark wash. I don't ha! It's deeper but It's a brighter blue than I prefer. (I like a warm, true dark wash, like was super popular in the 2010s.) I love the fit, cut, and quality enough though, to not quibble about the color.
P.P.S. definitely excellent quality. I purchased the 16s about 2-3 years ago. I've worn them at least 2-4x per week and the inner thighs are only now thinning. I'm impressed.
