I'm a cheap ass and just buy whatever $9.99 Jean promo H&M is running.

@.twist.: the $9.99 are usually low rise skinnies with some stretch. H&M tends to fit most people snug if it's the # sizing. I think TTS when it's by waist and inseam measurements. Like you, I tend to rotate between 2-3 pairs and have no problems with their jeans lasting me 2 year plus. For $9.99, that's not bad!

@simplyfelicity: Agree, I love Express jeans, they usually have them in "short" for petite people. (I'm 5'1"). I like their darker wash bootcut style. Is there an Express nearby?

@.twist.: I only buy when they are running sales (2 for 80 bucks or so. )

TARGET! Denizen super skinny stretch. I love them.

ETA: I'm 5'5" but I have short legs and their petite length fits perfect.

@.twist.: your jeans dilemma is quite distressing!

I'm 5'2", but like my jeans a little long to wear with heels. Banana Republic sells jeans- hit the sales rack- always a good find. I love my GAP boot cut with the double button- not low rise. For skinny/ slim fit my fav hands down is Levi's, which you can probably find at a department store. The Levi's are nice thick denim. Ann Taylor Loft usually carries a grown up dark trouser cut like what you'll find at BR.

I wear Paige jeans, you can find them at Nordstrom Rack.

Banana Republic does have jeans, but the stock they have in stores tends to be pretty hit or miss. My favourite jeans are their dark wash skinny jeans but I'm pretty sure I've always had to order them online. I'd take a quick run through BR being prepared to find nothing, and then try Gap, and then Aritzia as a last resort (but I should say that I find Aritzia a bit intimidating). I think Gap is a good place to start because they've got a good variety of fits and washes.

I think you can't go wrong with dark wash skinny jeans, but that's just my personal preference.

I really like LOFT jeans and prefer a dark wash boot cut or light wash boyfriend

My friends have great things to say about H&M! I keep buying GAP jeans even though they totally say after 1 wear!

I buy mostly Gap jeans (dark wash high rise skinnies are my fav), but I've also had some really good luck with Forever21 jeans that are like $14.99.

I'm in the same boat. I have two pairs of Gap jeans but the fit is just Meh.

@youboots: I touched a pair of Paige jeans once and they felt amazing. I didn't try them on because I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to non-designer jeans.

@.twist.: actually I was hoping you would update! Lol...now you're motivating me to hit up H&M for jeans!

@.twist.: I bought some dark purple skinnies from h&m and I looove them. I need new jeans, too, but I'm not quite desperate enough yet

@.twist.: Oh man, only 3 jeans?! I have a jean problem. lol I have like 10 pairs in my closet and probably another 10 put away with hope I might fit into them again someday. Lol in my defense when I was working I got to wear jeans to work everyday.

Anyways I love lucky brand jeans and express. I think I may need to make a trip to H&M to try out their jeans. Are they 100% cotton? Or a cotton/poly blend?

@.twist.: it was unfortunately 2ish years ago but yes deep purple, which is about as far into the world of coloured pants as I've dared venture so far.
