Basically, the number refers to the width—and "reg" just means they're regular length, at least if you ask me.
There’s a size guide there that actually shows you exactly which part you need to measure, too.
But honestly, I just took a look at the size guide and now I'm more confused than before regarding the jeans—specifically the pants.
Maybe try asking some of the girls over on the ASOS thread? Someone else has probably ordered pants from them already.🙂

Got some ASOS jeans—Iggy skinny indigo vintage or whatever... grabbed a size 12, which is my usual Topshop size, and they fit like a dream. Didn't overthink it too much since they were only $23, so why not? Pro tip: don't stress the sizing, just hit up Topshop and try them on. The regular cut fits pretty much everyone unless you're basically a supermodel with legs for days
😉 (In that case, go for the Tall line)

wiredcrane49 said:So, I have a bit of a predicament here—and it’s honestly becoming quite a nuisance. It seems my denim doesn't last longer than a month or two before they inevitably give out right in the crotch area. Just... friction, I suppose. I was wondering if anyone else deals with this particular issue? And more importantly, how on earth did you solve it? If anyone knows of any jeans that are actually durable enough to withstand the wear and tear without costing an absolute fortune, please let me know—it would be a total lifesaver, because this is starting to drive me a little crazy. I’ve already gone through three pairs since September—one from Gap, two from S.Oliver, and even these new ones from Tom Tailor are already showing signs of thinning. People, please... help!

Thanks in advance 🙂

How long they'll hold up in the inner thigh really comes down to how often you wear them, how tight the fit is, and the actual quality of the denim. For me, if I'm wearing Diesel regularly, they can last well over a year. At the end of the day, higher-quality, pricier jeans just endure longer. If yours are only lasting two months, you're actually better off investing in a pair that costs $150 or more. Not to mention, you can usually find Prada or Levi's on sale for around $100, and those will last you for years.

My favorite Reeboks are officially trashed 😢 I went a little overboard—bought a few extra pounds over the holidays—and now they’re basically falling apart at the seams 😬
How do I even wear these now? Should I just keep cutting them down?
If anyone has any tips 👍

Btw, I've had them for three years—they mean a lot to me😢

Just rip the other leg too? Or tear them somewhere else and patch them up with some thread? Everyone is buying distressed jeans anyway.😁

Does anyone know where I can pick up some men's denim jeans in the city? Looking for a classic fit, nothing too crazy. Ideally somewhere that won't cost me more than $100.

I'll give it a shot—mostly I'm just worried I'll totally screw it up. 😍
Thanks for the tip 🙂

Either don't go crazy ripping up the other leg—just fray the bottom of some distressed jeans underneath, then throw an unbuttoned layer over the top to keep it looking loose and effortless.
Or just take them to a tailor to have them do it for you. 🙂--
A long time ago, I had a favorite pair of jeans that ripped right at the seat and the knee. My tailor actually tucked some patterned red fabric inside both spots, and even added a little patch to one pocket so it looked intentional. Honestly, they looked awesome back then—though these days, I’d probably just stick to buying standard distressed denim (I actually saw some similar styles at H&M the other day).

Ladies, I find myself in need of a bit of guidance regarding a sartorial dilemma.
To be precise, I am having an incredibly difficult time locating a pair of jeans that actually fits my proportions. My waist tends to be quite narrow, yet I possess a very pronounced—though not necessarily wide—rear. I am searching for a pair of jeans that features a mid-to-high rise rather than a low-slung cut, ideally in a classic silhouette. My main requirement is that they don't gap at the waistline, yet somehow provide enough room so they aren't suffocating my backside. If anyone happens to know of a reliable brand or shop where I might find such a fit at a reasonable price point, I would be most grateful if you could share your recommendations.

Anyone know if there's still a Witboy store hanging around in NYC? 😕 🤷

Their shop was located over on Ilija Street, right near Victoria's Secret, tucked between British American and Frankopaska...

Look, I know he was.
What I’m actually wondering is... is he still?!

Nicholas Campbell6 said:Those are Salsa jeans. The specific push-up model is called "Wonder." They feature a removable leather patch on the back with an "S" embellished in rhinestones.
Here is what they look like. They come in several colors (first ones shown here):

Does anyone happen to know the price for the Salsa push-up models, and if they might be on sale right now?
P.S. Is there a better selection at the Salsa store in the mall or the one in Westgate?
Thanks...🙂

Where in the states can I actually find high-waisted, skinny-leg jeans in a lighter wash? I'm looking for something specific—not just the usual heavy indigo stuff you see everywhere.

The Salsa over at Westgate actually closed down, I think.

I can't speak to the push-up styles, but I picked up some of my standard Salsa pieces downtown last week for about $133.....

You might want to try the mall locations or the Westgate spot... though I think Westgate is closed right now.....

By the way, the sale runs through February 28th; after that, they ship all the fall/winter inventory back to Portugal....

Mine were $283 at 11mg, without a discount. I'm not sure what the price is now.

Chloe Nguyen3 said:Just hit up Levi's, you'll definitely find what you're looking for there.😉

I’ve basically been rocking Levi’s my entire life—specifically the 501s. Honestly? There isn't anything better out there. Period.
Look, yeah, they’re pricey—that’s the biggest hurdle right there. But honestly? I’ve been playing the waiting game and snagged most of mine during clearance sales. I currently have eight pairs just sitting in my queue waiting to arrive. At this rate, I think I’ve basically solved the "what to wear" dilemma for the rest of my life. Denim is a total classic; it’s a lifestyle. I don't touch anything else.

Does anyone actually know if there’s anywhere in Split where one might stumble upon a pair of salsa jeans? I mean, honestly, does such a thing even exist in this corner of the world?
