Jeans recommendations?

Honestly, LTB and Levi's... I mean, come on. 🤔

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..

Esprit, H&M

thanks, sweeties 🙂

Topshop or Miss Selfridge...😉

Honestly, I have such a hard time finding jeans that actually fit right... they always end up feeling loose or sloppy. Usually, I just end up buying a size too big, which is even worse because then they stretch out like crazy while I'm wearing them. They lose all their shape and look totally worn out, which I absolutely hate, so I end up having to wash them after just two days of wear... I have this one pair of Levi's that went through that, so I rarely even touch them now.
But anyway, I finally found the one perfect pair at a Bershka in Verona for about twenty bucks, and I've practically lived in them for a year straight. They still look brand new—they haven't stretched out, the color hasn't faded, there isn't a single frayed thread... nothing! I tried looking for anything similar at the Bershka back home, but no luck at all. I did find some at Replay that seemed alright, but they cost $300... and honestly, at my age, that feels like way too much to drop on one pair when I know I'll be wanting to pick up a second or third pair in a few months... it just keeps adding up. Does anyone know where else I could find good quality jeans? Maybe something skinny, maybe around $117... 🙂

I’ve already got two from Top Shop (selling one of them 😉) and one from Miss Selfridge. I think I caught everything on sale, so they only cost me about $67. I’ve been wearing one pair for three years now and there’s zero change, they’re comfortable and just... great. Personally, I would never drop $300 on basic denim just because the tag says Diesel or Replay 🙄. I don't buy them often enough to justify the price, though I could afford it, I just don't want to! For $300, I could get a pair of jeans, a shirt, and a bottle of perfume 😍
I think there are plenty of high-quality jeans out there at fair prices, it's just that those brands don't have a fancy label attached to them 🤣
I always end up buying the ones that are skin-tight, to the point where I can barely breathe or walk. Then after just one day of wear, they look totally saggy, lose their shape, and become just 👍

I’m totally over these super tight jeans with the zippers at the ankles. I just can't deal with these shallow fits. Does anyone actually know where I can find some stretchy denim—like, crazy high elastic content—so when they shrink, they actually look like joggers or something?

Hey there!
Alen

I was wondering, does anyone actually know where I can find stores carrying gas denim around here in the city?
I haven't laid eyes on a single pair lately—and honestly, it’s a bit frustrating because I know for a fact there used to be plenty of them everywhere...

Times Square was once... 🤷 I wonder if it still remains...

You’ve got spots in Grand Central and at the Port Authority terminal, but honestly, neither one is worth much. I have no idea what happened to them. 🤷

Look, I’ll say it plainly: I wish I could just walk into Zara, Mango, or Gap and find a pair of jeans that actually fits. But let’s be real—it’s a lost cause for someone with my build. I’ve mentioned this before, so I shouldn't have to repeat myself, but here we are. I’m a standard, slender girl—about 123 pounds at 5'6"—but my proportions are completely off for mass-market fashion. Nature gave me a 27-inch waist and 35-inch hips, which sounds fine on paper, but in reality, there is almost zero definition. My waist doesn't exist, my hips barely show, and my backside is pretty much flat. When you have a silhouette like mine, those big-box retailers might as well not even bother making clothes for us.
I find myself constantly bouncing between stores like Mango, Zara, Vero Moda, Madewell, Dolce & Gabbana, Levi's, Mustang, LTB, Naf Naf, Benetton, and Tommy Hilfiger—just browsing here, then there. And let me tell you, the selection of denim is absolutely stunning. Mango, in particular, has some incredible models; I saw these grey ones with stud detailing that were just breathtaking. But that’s exactly where the nightmare begins. I try on a size 6, and while they fit my backside perfectly, there is absolutely zero chance I’m getting the button closed. Then I move up to a size 8, and suddenly the waist fits, but now I'm dealing with all this awkward bunching around the hips and pulling at the crotch. It is the exact same story in 95% of the shops out there. It’s infuriating. 😕
Most of my denim comes from Diesel. Right now, I own three pairs of theirs. I’ve got these light gray ones that are hitting the two-year mark, and they’ve finally started chafing between the legs—which is actually impressive, considering most other brands I buy fall apart within a year. My grandmother patched them up for me, so I’ll probably be wearing them for quite a while longer. Then there are my medium blue and dark blue pairs. Their sizes 28 and 29 fit like a glove, specifically the Liv model in a 29 with 2% elastane. 🙏 Liv's eyes are a deep navy, almost indigo, and they catch the light perfectly.
I also have some pieces from Topshop—their lightbulbs [style items] and those flared cuts are absolutely fantastic. It would be incredible if I could consistently find trousers there for around $40.$150Honestly, I remember when things were actually decent around here, back in the day. But lately? When I’ve gone looking for something worthwhile, I haven't found a single model that even comes close to being impressive. The selection has been absolutely pathetic. It is glaringly obvious that Magma is completely spiraling right now.
Honestly, what can you even do? My ass is incredibly picky and just plain weird—it only "approves" of Diesel (specifically the 28 or 29 waist) and Topshop (the size 10, specifically the Baxter model), and that is absolutely it. I have seriously exhausted myself hunting for the perfect pair of jeans everywhere under the sun, and yet, nothing else works.

I once owned a pair of Replay jeans and two different pairs from Hilfiger. On the surface, the fit was impeccable—they looked fantastic on me. But the actual quality? It was honestly painful. Both pairs completely fell apart within five to eight months of regular wear. My cousin also got burned by Replay; both her pairs disintegrated almost instantly, like they were made of crackers instead of denim. 😢

When it comes to denim, I don’t mind splurging a little extra. The same logic applies to a high-quality coat or a solid pair of boots—these are investment pieces you wear for years, not just seasons. As for basic tees and other filler items, I’m much more frugal. I’d never waste my money on a Diesel t-shirt; I can easily pick up something similar at H&M, Mango, or Zara without a second thought. However, jeans are the absolute foundation of my wardrobe, and honestly, they’re the only pants I own. I know from experience that Diesel denim is top-tier quality, and I truly don't regret spending the money. I would much rather buy one killer pair and wear them for two or three years than be stuck spending $100 every six months or so just to keep my closet functional. $133 As for those who are going to fall apart quickly... I’m not saying it's a universal rule, but so far, only my Diesel ones have actually managed to withstand that much friction between my legs for any length of time. 😁

See, that’s exactly where my experience differs... Sure, I like them snug, but I refuse to have extra inches of love handles or a belly spilling out because the fabric failed. None of the pairs I've owned have ever stretched out on me. I distinctly remember a pair of Miss Sixty jeans—they were 100% denim, zero stretch, and I could barely even get the button fastened. They never lost their shape, but they did leave bruises around my waist, so I eventually just handed them off to my sister. Personally, I prefer that "second skin" feel. I don't mind if they're a tiny bit tight at the waist, provided I can actually close the button, but I demand that they never lose their tension or sag. 😁

Welcome to the club... Honestly, my waist is the absolute worst part of my body. I’ll find these jeans in a size 36 or 38 that fit my legs perfectly—like, they look amazing—but then the waist? Forget it. I can barely even get the button close, let alone fasten it. So, when I move up to a 40, which is actually my real size, I have to start hunting for pants that won't look like a tent on me. I guess I get lucky sometimes and find those specific cuts that clearly weren't designed for anyone else's body type, so I just snag them when they hit the clearance rack at places like Zara, Benetton, or Dorothy Perkins. That’s pretty much the last time I felt like I actually found a decent fit. Everything else has just been whatever random, no-name brand I could grab off the rack. 😁

Does anyone know where I can find some denim jeans with really wide legs—like, wide the whole way down, Marlene style—but without the high waist? It feels like everything out there is high-rise now; I was just looking at some pairs at Gap yesterday and it’s all high-waisted. I'm specifically hunting for a low-rise fit.

Does anyone happen to know where I can find some low-rise trap pants without any elastin? I absolutely loathe elastin!

Check Miss Selfridge—I actually have exactly what you're describing.

I picked some up at Mustang once.👍

Super tight latex jeans are basically the ultimate way to hug those thighs

What is up with this guy? 🤷

I picked those up at a Mustang dealership. 👍

Hey, have you ever noticed those jeans they sell at Mustang? They seem to be incredibly tight and always have that super low rise.

Could someone provide some insight regarding denim from Miss Sixty and Kill Kill? 😁 I am curious about the overall quality and comfort levels—specifically, is there any real value in purchasing them at all? My objective is to find a pair of basic, dark blue skinny jeans that are durable and well-made. Thank you.
