I need some skinny jean recommendations! I used to wear AE pre-baby but they sit too low for comfort now.
What are your favorite brands?
-
Old navy's rokstar skinnys are cheap & so comfortable!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: unfortunately old navy doesn't fit me very well! Bummer since they are so inexpensive!
-
I just bought a pair of J Brand - love them!
-
Citizens and Hudson fit me well but they're expensive. Unfortunately, I've never been able to fit into cheaper jeans. My booty is a force to be reckoned with apparently and less expensive jeans aren't up to the task of containing it.

I really like how their jeans fit me post-baby, they're definitely cut higher than the rockstars (which I also have).
ETA - I've never tried on any of the fancy pants brands so I can't compare them
-
Paige premium denim skyline skinnies are a mid rise and very forgiving on the figure (but not the wallet, sorry!).
-
There is a company called Second Denim that make Yoga Jeans--they have all sorts of styles, great colours. I love them!!
-
Forever21... no joke! I bought three pairs: http://www.modgblog.com/2013/02/20/i-can-now-officially-tell-you-which-jeans-will-make-you-look-hotter-than-1999-britney-at-the-super-bowl-so-hot/
-
@keiki_mama: ditto! I'm too cheap and won't pay more than $15 for jeans. I get f21 jeans when they're under $10.
-
@locavore_mama: Yes! I saw their jeans on sale for 7.80 last week. Score!
-
I wear the $10 "5 pocket" ones from forever 21! I have them in 3 colours, and they actually last for a long time.. I've had one pair for 3 years and I wear them a lot!
I just got two pairs in the next size up for when I gain some prego weight too!
-
@keiki_mama: @locavore_mama: @Mrs. Champagne: I am going to have to check this out, wow! The whole store is overwhelming to me so very excited to hear something specific to look for!
-
@locavore_mama: @keiki_mama: I'm afraid I'm not small enough to fit F21. Last time I went there a very snarky employee told me to shop at a plus size store... And I'm not even plus size
but I'm definitely not a "juniors" either...
-
Ok, I know this sounds really old lady, but....I have awesome skinny jeans from j.jill, and a new pair from LLBean. ETA: they are definitely more post kid friendly than some of the juniors style stuff I've tried on (I'm a size 10/12).
-
@Mrs. Pen: that is so nasty!!!! You are not plus size! Irregardless they have a plus size section so what the beep is she talking about?!
-
@locavore_mama: ugh I was so mad it left a bad taste in my mouth about that store! I was only like six months post partum.. The other bummer is the nearest one is at MOA which is an hour away.
-
Have you tried LOFT or Ann Taylor? Their pants and denim fit me well and often have a decent amount of stretch, which is nice when you're looking after a child! They aren't cheap at regular price, but they have lots of sales.
-
I got some skinny but curvy ankle jeans at target. I roll them to capri length and I love them!
-
@Mrs. Pen: I got a really comfy cute pair of Paige Premiums at the rack! They were around $80
-
Rich and Skinny.
Best jeans I've ever owned. Love the mid rise that most of them have!!! The denim is super soft so they're really comfortable.
-
i don't mind the gap skinnies! as long as they are the ones with stretch.
i want to try the high rise ae skinnies, but they are only available online in canada, so i dunno
-
BDG brand from urban outfitters. They have great stretch & are reasonably priced.
-
@luckypenny: agree! Bdg is awesome and comes in high waisted!
-
@Mrs. Pen: I like Targets skinny jeans. They come in black and different jean washes, not sure about colors. Love the fit and the price
-
@Sparks: I'd also say Target has some good mid-rise skinnies for a good price!
What a B* at F21!
-
Karen Kane has some great ones, you can get them at department stores, usually.
-
I like gap's "always skinny" jeans
-
I have had great luck with J.Crew's "toothpick" and "matchstick" jeans. I stock up at the outlet when they have a sale and have never paid more than $30!
-
@Mrs. Pen: Forever 21 runs STUPID small. Their XL is like a M most other places. And they do carry plus size... which I have to buy.... and I'm a 12.... which is not plus size. Anyway, I worked for them for a bit and now I refuse to shop there. They are a seriously shady company and treat their employees like crap.
I used to like Old Navy (I have the sweetheart style) but I find that Im too curvy for their jeans and they dont fit right.
Mama has a 12" difference between her waist and hip measurements, so it severely limits selection if I dont want to alter them.
-
Eddie Bauer! Also come in petite and long which is nice.
-
my go to brand ones are hudson or j brand
more affordable are the super skinnies from loft, or express!
-
@Mrs. Pen: There's a F21 at Rosedale now, not sure if that's closer to you? I don't shop there, but noticed it the last time I was there. I like Loft's or Gap's skinny jeans the best so far.
-
The $10.80 forever 21 skinny jeans are amazing! I love mine!
but I'm definitely not a "juniors" either...
