Jeans recommendations?

I headed over to the King of Prussia mall earlier today. It’s been five years since I last bought a pair of jeans, so I figured with all those shops, I'd event…

I don't know, for me they always stretch just enough to fit perfectly, but lately....

I actually ran into you at the Orsay museum—well, metaphorically speaking—and ended up picking up a pair that were almost identical. They have that wide leg and high waist look... though, full disclosure, they weren't genuine denim, just a really good imitation. Honestly, they’re great, and if you catch them on sale at $56, they're a steal. I can post a photo if you want to see

Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to it until this weekend—or maybe even next week. Hopefully you can hold out until then. If I happen to stumble upon it online, I'll post it here. Sound good?🙂👍

So, since I’m heading over to the Mall of America tomorrow, I figured I should probably go check them out in person myself 😉 You were such a huge help with all the info, seriously, thank you so much 🙂

I mean, I actually tried to stick to that whole "buy one size smaller than what you actually wear" rule myself—until I went out and bought this pair from Diesel that I could barely even button up the first time. Honestly, I still struggle to get them closed today, and after wearing them for a bit, I end up with these massive bruises on my hips... though, I guess maybe that’s just because I’ve put on a few extra pounds lately. 😂
Anyway, my actual strategy is just to buy jeans that feel incredibly tight and borderline impossible when I'm trying them on in the store, and somehow—for reasons I can't quite explain—that always turns out to be the perfect fit once I actually start wearing them later on.

Exactly. That’s the catch with that method—you can't gain any weight after you buy them.😂

Anyway, I saw some killer jeans at Bershka yesterday for a steal.

Has anyone actually seen white coffee-colored jeans anywhere? Maybe something in a skinny or straight leg fit?

At Zara recently, they had more colors available, specifically at $33. They seem to be a thinner material, too.

Anyway, whenever I actually head out shopping with the specific intention of buying jeans, I can never find anything. But when I'm just aimlessly browsing stores, I always stumble upon the perfect pair. Like these last ones I picked up at Zara—they were $133, light-wash distressed, and I snagged them on sale. It was my size, too, and only $33 😍.

Thanks. It doesn't matter if they're thinner, as long as they're cheap. And if they're the same model as my dark blue ones from Zara—you know, the skinny ones with the patent leather detail at the bottom—then it's a total steal. I just happened to stumble upon them. Now, when exactly am I planning on buying them all?

Looking for some baggy, boy-style trousers—you know, that oversized vibe—but specifically women's cuts that aren't too skimpy? I need something that actually covers me up when I sit down, thanks!

Got mine at DP back in early August—they were $100.
I’ve also got some Levi's indigos I picked up in Graz (if you ever find yourself heading that way)... we should have that specific model hitting the shelves here in a month or two—checked with my aunt who works at Levi's, since I wanted another pair in a lighter wash, though it wouldn't have even 🤷...

Hey, does anyone in the Seattle area know a reliable guy who sells high-quality weed?

Wait, where is there a Dillards around here? And which specific model are you rocking?
I tried Googling Levi's, but I couldn't track down that exact style—is that really what they call them? All I'm finding are "skinny indigo" or high-waisted stuff... does "indigo" just refer to the color 🤷

I swear, I always end up buying jeans that just stretch out—like, they stretch out horribly, lose their shape entirely, and honestly? They look just plain terrible.
The last pair I picked up from Urban Outfitters was a size larger than my usual 29 ($100), mostly because they didn't have anything smaller in stock. They fit okay at the waist, but now the legs are ridiculously baggy and completely misshapen...

The only ones I’ve actually managed to get right were some basic pairs from Gap for $26; they haven't stretched out at all, nor have they lost their shape. It’s actually pretty incredible

Now, here's the dilemma: if only denim didn't always come in such low rises—you know, like two fingers below the belly button—and actually offered larger sizes, maybe a 14 or something higher... because my sister doesn't even wear jeans, and we haven't been able to find a decent pair anywhere.

You can find some great distressed knee-rip jeans over at Zara. They’re really nice, I think they're $100, super skinny too.

Oops, my bad—got a little mixed up there... 😳 That model goes by Dark Izzy... 🙂 My head was just somewhere else entirely—and since I was nowhere near the closet, I ended up slamming into the Indigo... It was still pretty early in the morning, too... 😁
DP has those CC1s. I think they were the only ones like that for a minute—actually stumbled upon them while looking for something else... Was in such a rush so I didn't really dig deep, just a total hit-and-run purchase. Hope they’re still around somewhere...
People were totally coming for them—like, "What were you thinking buying those? They look hideous... where did you even find those, the dumpster?"... typical... 😁 Here's some stuff you might actually like—honestly, they're even better if I stomp them with my heels... 😁
I don't think you can go wrong with them—they’re basically one of a kind (the tag inside actually says "Boyfriend," unlike any of the others)... They're like a light wash denim, slightly distressed and a bit loose in spots but not ripped up, super soft and they fit perfectly... honestly, I'm obsessed. 😍 And the price was actually decent—unlike those Levi's I paid way too much for...

You can find some great distressed knee jeans over at Zara. They’re beautiful, I think they are $100, and very slim fit.

Does anyone know where I can actually find joggers that come in specific waist and length measurements? (Hopefully I’m making sense here—I think you get what I’m getting at 🤔)
Basically, I buy all my sweats at Urban Outfitters and I’m a solid 30/30..
Most stores around here don't carry those specific proportions—they just have the "standard" sizes—so if I buy anything else, I have to get them hemmed, and by the time they're done, there's basically nothing left of the pants..
