Rachel Rivera7 said:Back in January, they were running sales, and if I recall correctly, the standard prices usually started at $233 or even higher. I actually own a pair of their jeans, and honestly, they’re fantastic. I'm a size 28/34 myself, so I'm planning on picking up another pair soon—though I think I'll hold out for the next big sale before I pull the trigger.😁

I paid for mine, around... $100 Both ways... or neither. It's all the same in the end...

I'm just not following...
Looking at this Salsa catalog... specifically the women’s line. It’s a lot. A whole lot of stuff. I was scrolling through their site earlier, just passing time, and it hit me how much these brands try to sell you a specific version of "you." They show these models in these perfectly curated outfits that look great on a screen, sure. But then you think about actually living in them. Walking down a street in Chicago or sitting in a crowded cafe in New York... does it hold up? It’s all very polished. Very intentional. Everything from the cuts to the colors feels like it was designed by a committee trying to capture "effortless style." Which is ironic, because nothing about high-end retail is ever truly effortless. It's calculated. Every stitch, every silhouette... they want you to feel like you need that one specific blazer to finally be the person in the photo. I don't know. Sometimes I look at these collections and I just see a sea of trends passing by. One week it's this, the next week it's that. It makes me wonder if we're buying clothes or just buying temporary identities... anyway. Just some thoughts while staring at a digital storefront.

Why won't it offer me anything longer than 32??...

They aren't even offering it to you because they're completely sold out 😢

In my estimation, you're looking at the most popular size 😬

What I am truly curious about is whether these older collections will remain marked down after tomorrow, and if they intend to include any newer styles in the sale 🤣

Given that returns are free and they've brought back those denim shorts, I feel quite comfortable shopping with them. If something doesn't fit quite right, I can simply swap it for one of their tried-and-true staples. I actually just purchased some PUSHIN jeans for the first time to see if they'll accentuate my curves 🤣 If they turn out to be a disappointment, I'll revert to the Sculpture cut—that style was practically designed for my body. To be honest, I was hesitant to even try them on initially because the silhouette looked a bit odd and unappealing (even if the color was lovely), but the salesperson was incredibly persistent. He practically pressured me until I finally relented 😍 The result? A lifted backside (which isn't usually my strong suit), a cinched waist, and legs that seem to go on forever 😬

I’ve never actually pulled the trigger on their denim before, but these push-up ones are calling my name. My main gripe with jeans is when they try to do too much heavy lifting—I hate it when they make my backside look bigger than it actually is. Right now, I’m staring at this sale and thinking about ordering them, but the sizing is a total headache. I’m sitting at a 93 cm hip and weighing 60 kg, usually rocking a US size 10. Any advice on which size won't betray me?

It clearly depends on the amount of elastin in your denim and your specific build, but I’d say you’re a textbook 27 in the Sculpture and Mystery models. A 27 for sure, especially if you aren't carrying much extra weight in your thighs...

You might even be their 28, though it's hard to be certain until you try a smaller size...

As for me, both 26 and 27 tend to fit just fine...🤷

There’s no way they’re all sold out. I’ve scrolled through every single inch of this page... But then again, I just dug up an old pair of my skinny Salsa jeans. They're listed as W28, L30, so maybe that narrow fit plays a part in the confusion.
Basically, one pair is W28 L34 with a wide leg.
The other is W28 L30 with a slim leg.
Both are marked W28, yet the wide-leg ones feel much roomier in the waist despite being the same size.
I’m pulling the trigger on an order now. They offer free returns, so we'll see how it goes...
Otherwise, I’ll just head over to the mall in Chicago to try them on in person. ☕

Selecting "Continue Shopping" essentially means you intend to keep browsing and perhaps pick out a few more items... if you are finished, you simply need to click Checkout. 😬

Maybe...

My mistake,

Yes, I am referring to http://www.salsastore.com/en/ where you can pick up Salsa jeans. On this site, they offer shipping at no cost for anything over $49.90—which happens to be the starting price for their denim—and the return process for what you've bought is also free, making the whole shopping experience feel quite secure and seamless.

The current promotion wraps up today... they had a massive selection of jeans and trousers marked down by 50%, covering everything from older collections to some newer pieces.

Delivery typically takes about 2 to 3 business days. I have personally verified this. 😉

I suspect some items will remain on sale even after today, but trying to hunt down the right sizes is a genuine struggle that can be rather frustrating... 😬

Bought them, ordered, and now I’m just waiting...
To be honest, while I was browsing at the Lululemon store, I tried on a ton of pairs. A lot of them didn't sit right on me, but the ones that actually worked? Incredible. 🙏Total J.Lo curves... 😍
We'll see how they pan out. At least there's a free return policy. I went with the cheaper model for now; easy enough to upgrade to the pricey stuff later if they work.

Where on earth are you guys finding these discounts? Seriously, I feel like I’m looking at the standard retail prices every single time I check. Am I just blind, or is everyone else seeing something I'm totally missing?
So, do you gotta go all in right from the jump, or is it better to play it cool and just dip your toes in first? Should you just dive headfirst into the deep end, or maybe take a second to scope out the water before you commit? Honestly, what’s the move here?

I’m on the hunt for some pants with a longer inseam, but here's the catch—I've got a super slim waist. Any recommendations?

Check out these promotions. You should definitely toggle the filter settings so it immediately shows you what’s actually available in your specific size. From what I recall, their range runs from a 24 at the smallest up to a 34 at the largest—which is pretty much perfect 😉
for those of us with a taller, slender build.
There is a helpful size guide where you can input your exact measurements, and then the system will suggest the right fit for you automatically. Beyond that, I highly recommend reading through the individual product descriptions for each denim style... For instance, even though they might look absolutely stunning on someone else, due to my own body type, those PUSHUP models just aren't a good match for me.

I just picked up another pair of Massimo Dutti skinnies in this charcoal gray. Honestly? It’s a stellar fit. I don't feel like I'm fighting against the fabric just to get them on, which is a rare luxury. Unlike some other brands out there that make you feel totally awkward or constricted, these actually feel... normal.😁

They went for $133.

They're hereeeee!😍 ☕
Arrived right on time! They fit perfectly... I'm obsessed. Major props to Salsa. From now on, it's exclusively their jeans online for me.

Anyone here who’s actually bought Salsa jeans? I could use some help figuring out sizing. I noticed they ship incredibly fast and the quality looks solid, so I’m seriously considering placing an order 🙂.
I’ve been staring at their size chart and it’s suggesting a size 28, but that translates to a US 4, while I usually wear a US 6. Are their size recommendations actually reliable?
Also, I’m completely lost on how to pick the inseam. Given that I’m 5'10", 147 lbs, and have curves—specifically my hips and glutes measure about 38 inches—would a size 28 with a 32 inseam work? I can barely find a 34 length anywhere... I assume they're sold out everywhere?

Susan Garcia6, I don’t even own a single pair of jeans right now, but based on how much I "know my stuff," we should really be talking in inches—you know, waist and inseam. In theory, those numbers should stay consistent across every brand out there. Personally, whenever I actually bother to shop, I’m always looking for a 28/32. I might grab a 27 if they’ve got enough stretch in them 😬, but that's about it. Otherwise, I’m usually a US size 6...
So, honestly? I think the real headache here is just terrible size conversion.
Also, since you're about 5'10", I'd bet money you actually need a 34" inseam. I’m about 5'8" myself, and a 32" hits me just right.

Thanks, frozenbadger38 🙂. So, I just double-checked everything. The 32" pair measures 82 cm along the inner seam, which hits right at my ankle—it would actually be perfect if they were just 2 cm longer... Then there's the 34", which comes out to 87 cm. That feels like way too much fabric, and I really don't want them bunching up at the bottom since I'm aiming for that sleek, skinny look. The specific ones I've got my eye on aren't even available in a 34, so I'm leaning toward grabbing the 32s. They look pretty slim-cut, so maybe being a tiny bit short won't even be an issue 😬. Honestly, I can't make a decision to save my life 😵.

I know they aren't technically jeans, but I ended up picking up some Superstretch leggings from H&M yesterday for $33
