Shellydon Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Which jeans are your favorite? Gotta do some shopping. Quote
lifesadream83 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I wear Miss Me jeans. I love them. I purchase a few new but they are pricey so I usually try to hit the local resale shop for them at less than 1/2 price :) Quote
elegantlion Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I like Old Navy jeans. I am curvy and I need stretch in a jean. I also do not like really thick jeans. 1 Quote
knoxinsox Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Target curvy fit bootcut. The only jeans I have ever found that actually fit me and look good. 1 Quote
Tap Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Express fit me well. They aren't cheap, but they have sales all the time which makes them much more affordable. Quote
Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 A bitter response: The ones I wore in 1978. Quote
Carol in Cal. Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Not Your Daughter's Jeans. They are pricey in my book (though not designer type pricey), but they last forever. I try to get them at the Nordstrom Rack to economize. 2 Quote
bettyandbob Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I've been wearing Gloria Vanderbilt from Kohl's lately. They are comfortable. When I was in high school Gloria Vanderbilt was expensive and I couldn't wear them anyway. You had to have curves. Dd wears them--a much smaller size than me. She has curves because she has a completely different body type than me. I have curves because I am overweight. Quote
Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Firmly in the category of Stuff Only Middle-Agers Say, I love Jag Pull-On jeans. They do not have buttons or zippers, but instead have a band not that different from a maternity band at the top. In all other respects, the jeans look just like any other fashinable jeans, and you can choose a leg cut and wash/color that you wish. Amazon has heaps of them. 1 Quote
Carrie12345 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Levi's, in the cut recommended by the salespeople for my shape. Quote
MommaOfalotta Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I only buy jeans from Old Navy. It used to be PacSun but they are no longer here. Ohhh I miss those jeans. Anyway, I loathe skinny jeans and Old Navy is pretty much the only place around here that don't exclusively sell skinnys. Plus, their jeans are cute and affordable. 2 Quote
J-rap Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I like Gap (but only their traditional straight jeans), Loft, Ralph Lauren, and NYDJ. Quote
need2read Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I have a fairly straight figure, slim in the hip and thigh with a long rise and I buy Gap jeans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
creekland Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Lee Rider Classic - purchased usually at Walmart. Quote
lewber Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 THIS! I love these jeans and so do about 5 of my friends that I've told about them. They're great!

tammyw Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Nordstrom - Citizens of Humanity or AG jeans. Pricey but amazing. And they have good sales (and free alterations if you have the credit card). 1 Quote
Happy Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Not Your Daughter's Jeans. They are pricey in my book (though not designer type pricey), but they last forever. I try to get them at the Nordstrom Rack to economize. I love NYDJs, too. I generally get the 'Barbara' in black and boot cut. Just a touch of stretch to keep them comfy. 1 Quote
plansrme Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 J Crew Matchstick, and Kut From the Kloth (Cloth? Can't remember). You do not have to be stick-figure thin to wear Matchstick jeans (I am a size 10 with "muscular" thighs), I found to my surprise. It is a nice, straight leg, and my legs do not look like sausages in them. Quote
redsquirrel Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Believe it or not, I've had good luck with Lands End. I tried them out of desperation, but was pleasantly surprised. I am a petite and curvy, my waist is 10 inches smaller than my hips. They make several styles so you can find the ones you like. Lands End makes 2 lengths of petite jeans, one a standard petite length that looks good with a heel, and an even shorter length that means I can actually wear flats! I've never worn flats without my jeans pooling around my ankles, lol. But, more importantly, the cut is good and the fit is exactly what they say it will be. And I have owned them for over a year and they are not faded and they look great. My one complaint, and it is one I have with almost all jeans, is that after a day of wear they are looser and a bit bagged out. But, I haven't found a pair that really keep their shape beyond that, so it's more of a universal complaint. Quote
Laura Corin Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I wear boyfriend jeans from a cheap teenagers' store called New Look. They aren't stretchy, so don't highlight my tummy,but they also have a fair bit of leeway in that area. They don't seem to stock them any more, so I'm going to have to branch out. Quote
texasmama Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Levi's - in a long because I am 5'10". They are actually long enough and fit my curves well. 1 Quote
Cinder Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Another fan of Lee Riders mid-rise, long, either boot cut or straight leg. I need jeans that come up to just below my bellybutton and these do. (If the waistband hits right at my bellybutton I get a stomachache.) Quote
goldberry Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I liked these so much I posted about them. Comfy, not super skinny but slim cut to to be modern and flattering, affordable and come in long and petite. Win!

KungFuPanda Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Target curvy fit bootcut. The only jeans I have ever found that actually fit me and look good. I'm wearing these right now. The universe has decreed that I can only ever own ONE pair of comfortable, perfect-fitting jeans at a time. What brand that is changes over time. Right now, it's the curvy Target jeans. Quote
trulycrabby Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Seven for all mankind midrise straight, skinny, or black, and I always wait for sales or get them at Nordstrom rack. I used to wear paige, but their quality has suffered in the past few years. Quote
Shellydon Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Looks like I need to try the JAG jeans. I like Levis 512, but need to branch out a little. Quote
Ali in OR Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I like Eddie Bauer jeans in the short length. I usually get them at the outlet store but have ordered one pair online which I can do since I know my size. They have a bit of stretch to them so a size smaller than I wear in their khakis is right for me--6 short. Believe me, I'm not a 6 in anything else! I think of myself as a 10 but it seems everyone has to mess with their sizing these days. Quote
Forget-Me-Not Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I'm intrigued by the Jag jeans. They look like the jeans I get for my toddler at Gymboree! How is the sizing? Quote
jewellsmommy Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Old Navy jeans for me as well. Ibuy online and get them in short. I'm 5ft 2.5 in. Quote
Ellesmere Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I'm intrigued by the Jag jeans. They look like the jeans I get for my toddler at Gymboree! How is the sizing? Looking at their size chart, I was having trouble because my hips were two sizes smaller than my waist. I chatted with a rep at zappos and she recommended going by my waist but I was afraid they would be too big all over and sag. I ordered a couple sizes and sent back what didn't fit. I ended up fitting best in the size that that, according to their chart, matched my hip measurement. I have lost some weight since buying and they stay up well enough. The dark blue ones had a strong odor but it went away after time/washing. Quote

Since then, I've purchased three pairs, and they are by far my favorite and most comfy jeans! 1 Quote
