Do you wear designer jeans? And if so, what brands?
My parents bought me a pair of True Religion jeans to celebrate my weight loss and my move to Chicago. I don't even want to know how much these things cost, but I swear there is a total difference in fit. my priciest jeans were from Gap and one pair of 7 for all mankind I got from TJMaxx.
I wear these things like every other day and I can't get over how good they fit (no gapping in the waist or any other fit dramedy). okay, rave over.
Hmm, maybe I'll make a pair of those a goal reward . I know you've mentioned that you have a hard time getting a good fit in the waist without gapping if the butt and hips fit, and I have the same problem.
I love my 'curved fit' jeans from Eddie Bauer. They were on sale because they were changing the name to something else and the sale signs didn't match. They are one size smaller in the waist than in the hips, which you may appreciate if you're tired of waist-gapping. I can't remember the new name of the curved fit jeans, but if you ask for them, th people will know what you're talking about. I'm in Canada, so USA might be different!
Congrats on your new jeans. I am happy for you that they are such a perfect fit. Well fitting jeans are hard to find. I "live" in jeans (I wear them to work every day, we have an extremely relaxed dress code). I have never seen True Religion jeans (I am in Canada) but I am planning, when I am at my goal weight, to treat myself to a pair of really nice expensive jeans.
Right now, I am wearing a pair from Winners (a Canadian version of TJ Maxx) which are actually quite nice (and long enough! - I need 33" inseam) and cost $19.99. I don't want to spend too much $ on jeans since I am still losing weight so this is perfect for the time being. I only wish they were a bit looser in the leg (they are more like my second skin) but a friend says they really show off my new body well. :-)
I love wearing jeans too. When I was smaller, my favorites were Lucky Brand. But at my current size, 16, it's too hard to find ones that fit. I have a couple pairs of Calvin Klein's from Goodwill I've been wearing now and like them.
I am so glad I found this thread. DH and I found a place in our local mall just a few weeks agothat had 7 for all man kind jeans. I was thinking of making a pair my reward for reaching my goal weight. I am normally a Levis girl.
my new fav jeans I just bought are from maurices. I think they were 36 bucks. I think I love em so much bc they are a size 20 and the last time I wore that size I was in high school ( 10 years ago! )
Before that, I was hooked on Lane Bryant and Avenue jeans. roughly 50 bucks a pair I think.
Oh I can't wait to get jeans that fit perfectly!! Right now I live in Gap Long and Leans. They are the perfect length for my tallness, however, like ALL jeans, they are super baggy in the butt. Right now I'm slightly out of proportion. I have a small little toosh, normal thighs for my weight, big calfs, and a man gut (seriously) I look forward to the day where my butt isnt draped in demin but rather defined and ready to rock.
I love, love, love Guess Skinny Flare jeans ~100 dolla. Sooo hot, and they make my legs look a lot longer...and they make my butt look good too. I also love Big Star Jeans ~100 dolla, but they're sorta too stretchy. After you wear them awhile they start to sag in the butt and thighs.
