For the last few days, in between taking my children to various appointments, I have been doing the most dreaded type of clothing shopping. That's right, I've been looking for some new jeans. (O.K., maybe this is the second most dreaded type of shopping. Bathing suits might rank higher. Maybe.)
I don't know about you, but I find jean shopping to be incredibly difficult. I always end up feeling like I must have the oddest body shape on earth because so many pairs just do not fit. At all. Not even close. So when I finally find a pair that not only fits, but is also flattering, I get a little excited.
Such was my experience with the Lucky Brand Sweet 'N Low jeans. After trying pairs from Seven, Rock & Republic, and some other Lucky's, I had my hallelujah moment with the Sweet 'N Low cut. They are listed as mid-rise, bootleg, and easy fit. The mid-rise is plenty low on me. Now, I know that some of you are wondering why I am buying bootleg jeans when the skinny cut is all the rage. Let me say that I don't think the skinny cut is for everyone and while I tried a few pairs, I have not found any that I like on myself. A slight bootleg is my comfort zone for now, although I reserve the right to change my mind later!
What about you? What jeans are your favorites right now? Do you favor the skinny leg, the bootcut, or something else?
Bootcut is my absolute favorite- I feel like it's so versatile, but I look forward to wearing my skinnies underneath tall boots this fall and winter!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Citizens. They flatter my figure so well and love the wash they come in usually. Lately though, I have been loving J.Crew jeans! I love the skinny, toothpick, I think is what they are called!
ReplyDeleteI love bootcut jeans. Right now I am loving the Sweetheart jeans from Old Navy. I want a pair of Lucky jeans when I get some more weight off.
ReplyDeleteRuth, when you decide it's time for some Lucky jeans, be sure to check Marshalls and TJ Maxx. I knew I had seen some there about a month ago, and when I went to Mashalls this morning, I found several styles, including the Sweet 'N Low cut I mentioned in the post. They were $34 at my Marshalls, instead of the normal $88. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am a Paige girl. But I do think I will embrace the skinny trend too! I love the thought of skinny jeans and boots. I cannot, however, embrace the over the knee boot look. Everyone has their line!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I gave you an award.

I am most comfy in a pair of Seven For All Mankind bootcut A-pockets. However, I'm sporting a pair of skinny jeans today, and love them. It completely depends on the brand though. Some of them look horrendous!
ReplyDeleteGuess what - I just bought a pair of boyfriend jeans at The Gap - ohso comfortable!
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of skinny jeans that I've been wearing quite a bit this fall, but I can't bring myself to spend a lot of money on them. I love my bootcut Seven for all Mankind - they're a few years old but still comfortable!
