New jeans...

absolutuscchick · #1 01-02-2004, 06:31 PM

Ok, I need new jeans. What brands are hot right now? Everyone here is wearing Seven Jeans still, but I'd love to get something thats up and coming and will still be fashionable next year. Any suggestions? I also LOVE the way that Citizens of Humanity's Ingrid Stretch fits....

Rudey is going to have a field day with this thread.

For those of you, who like me, are not concerned with which brands are hot, Brooks Brothers has the best jeans that I've owned. And they aren't that expensive.

Ditto for the Old Navy Curvy Jeans. They may be cheap, and they may not be "hot", but they're the only jeans I've ever found that properly fit my "sistahgirl" behind.

Guess? jeans are my favorite! They fit so well and they are very stylish. They never go out of style. Also, they're not as expensive as Seven jeans or Lucky Brand.

I'm not a huge fan of J.HO herself.... but I love my J.Lo jeans!!

I'm also a fan of Express, Limited, and American Eagle.

French Connection jeans are made incredibly well....not FCUK but the couture part of the brand...
Also, take a look @ Paper Denim and Cloth.

Well, I am going to sound SO old by saying this:

I am not going to spend an arm and a leg on jeans. I find what fits and usually stay within that brand's styles year to year. I LOVE Express jeans.
I find it so interesting that people pay $75, $100, $125 for jeans!

I am a firm believer that you can get a great look for less.

Just my $.02!

I don't think it's necessary to spend 150 on jeans to get 'the look', but that's the type of clothing Rachel was asking about.

Errr... I got new jeans at Old Navy.

I also had a moment of weakness and spent $58 on a pair of jeans from GAP, because they really fit nicely. I'm taking them back tomorrow because I just can't spend that kind of money on a damn pair of jeans.

I personally think that GAP, Old Navy, and Express jeans fit very nicely.

What you won't be buying APPLEBOTTOM jeans? But Nelly says they're perfect, lol!

I like Fever Jeans. They're kinda expensive (which just means that you have to wait til there are sales, or do some digging on ebay)but they work for those of us who got back, while being really stylish (for the most part- they have some uuuugly styles too). Guess Jeans are ok, but they need to be belted for me

I like my Calvins.

I am surprised that Rudey hasn't posted here yet.

Rudey was just hanging out in san fran...cut him a break.

Most of the brands mentioned are fit for homeless people. Paper Denim was the only decent brand mentioned. I like them because they're really thin and fun. I'd recommend Habituals or Chip & Pepper. I've seen them on a couple girls and they are way hot. Do they make Theory jeans for girls? I really like vintage jeans because it's like owning a piece of Americana so I visit Denim Doctors in LA so maybe swing by next time.

Seven is about a million years out of style. Citizens for humanity just doesn't have enough of that "I'm hot and you want to bang me" look, Express screams "I can't afford anything better and love to waste money", and Guess says "come have sex with me in this alleyway right against this dumpster because i'm gross like that."

I actually bought 2 new pairs of jeans today from Eddie Bauer. They were $85 for both, but my last pair I bought from there lasted 2 soid years and a lot of wear and abuse.

Just my $.0265497 worth

Yes, they make theory jeans for girls (at least I'm pretty sure..) and I personally love citizens for humanity jeans!!! I just need lighter jeans like the ones below, and they don't make that type of wash right now!

Anyhow, I looked online and found THE CUTEST Chip & Pepper Jeans EVERRRR!!!

But....they're like $170!!! GASP!!! That's like 50 more dollars than I really was planning on spending!!! I guess it'll have to wait for a bit!!!
