Non-Sausage-Casing-Skinnies Do Exist

Angie

And I am wearing them right now. They are AG's Nikki Skinny Jean that made yesterday's roundup. Much roomier than current skinnies, but not nearly as roomy as BF jeans.

I know they are pricey. But I would rather have one pair of jeans that fit EXACTLY how I want them to fit, than 4 pairs that are almost right. Plus these don't have rips and tears - which is a rarity on faded jeans these days.

And they are full length. Bonus.

Oh nice! They look like a skinnier version of the AG Piper. I almost bought those last year but I didn't like the wash. They call it a "slouchy slim" fit. Here is this year's version - it may work better than the Nikkis on curvier figures:

Perfect! Excellent find in the lighter wash with distressing, too.

I ordered them after reading your advice on the blog post from yesterday. I would love to have some lighter wash jeans that are not overly distressed or too boyfriendy, and these look like they just might work. Crossing my fingers and awaiting delivery!

I really like the way these look and appreciate the lack of rips and tears, but I still have a hard time justifying the price

Holding thumbs, Janet. I went up a size. Did you?

I should have clarified that they are much less baggy than my BF jeans - which I wear quite slouchy and baggy. They might fit the same as streamlined BF jeans.

I did size up one size from my usual, although I then realized its the same size as my other AGs, which fit me in a slightly relaxed, not baggy, not tight way. Hmm. Hope I made the right call. We shall see!

Angie, apologies if you already addressed this somewhere - I went back to the blog post but couldn't find it in the comments -- when you say sized up, do you mean from your usual premium size - if you have such a thing? I ask because I have premium jeans now in 3 different sizes and all seem to fit, so I'm not sure whether I should size up from the biggest of those or from the medium of those!

I love these and know that if they fit well I would wear the heck out of them, making them well worth the price tag. I wear my BR distressed slouchy skinnies to the ground, and love them even better than my BFs (which I also love) but sometimes the distressing is...well....a little distressing! I would like a non-distressed pair in a similar cut. And this looks like the ticket.

No worries, Suz. I did go back and answer your question on the blog post though. I usually wear a size 25 in jeans. Sometimes a 26. I bought these in a 26. Does that help? I think they will fit just like your old BR slouchy skinnies that you wear into the ground.

We'll see, Janet. Hopefully the size is right first time round. You tend to prefer your jeans tighter than I do, so it sounds right.

That absolutely helps, Angie - thank you! And my apologies - I must have gone back before you answered.
