So the weather is turning for the cooler tomorrow here, with some desperately needed rain.
Like many here I'm tired of the distressed boyfriends. I wanted something different than the high waisted skinnies that I already own. I stopped in a local boutique. I wanted stiff or raw and cropped denim.
I would consider these sideways premium denim. Both pairs were made in the USA.
Right now I'm probably a 10-12, closer to twelve; used to be an 8 in pants.
The first is by 6397, find below. I had no idea that they were supposed to fit like these pictures. I asked for a 30 or 31 (which is probably very optimistic at my current weight). I tried a 29 and a 28, with the shop assistant we decided on the 28. It fit like a long rise cropped straight leg, which is the fit I was looking for. I was reminded of Angie sizing down on the jeans from NAS.
The second pair is by Apiece Apart. It's a stiff blue-black with a smidge of white fabric. I got an 8, very surprising.
I felt they were different enough I got both, plus given that they were small designers it would be hard to find.

I also tried some Rachel Comey high waisted jeans in an 8, absolutely a no go. I think it was the legion style.
