Express jeans are the best, cuz you can always find some that will fit you just right!

I personally prefer Levis 517. I like the cut of them.

Live in my jeans ('cept at work) heres my brands:

Gap Relaxed fit - 30 x 34
Eddie Bauer Easy Fit - 31 x 33
Levis 550's - 31 x 34
CK - 30 x 33

(I like Gap jeans, most comfortable, but the denim is thinner and of lesser quality than Levis or EB, so they wear out faster.)

As for Chinos, its all Bannana; Hacking and Traveler or nothing.

I lovvee my tommy hilfiger jeans , they are comfortable and they look the bomb in any shade.
Oh and my lerner and express jeans are the runner ups,

I prefer my very dirty dark blue Abercrombie jeans, but I like J. Crew jeans also

But you nkow how you have those older jeans with the holes in them
Well, they were my favorite, it was a pair of B. Rep pants with a slight hole the size of my fist in my crotch from running & playing soccer in them
My mother disliked them
So when she got the chance - she tossed them out

I LIVE in my Levi's! It's kinda funny though, because I have to buy them in short sizes, and because of my booty they are always in bigger sizes than the rest of my clothes. I almost fainted and cried the first time I bought a pair, but they are soooo comfy!

Another good place is the Ralph Lauren outlet. Their jeans are cheap (I got two pairs at twenty bucks each) and they fit well- if they are cut a bit higher on the waist than I like.

I am definitely a dyed in the wool Levi's gal!!! I love 501's and 512's, but I can't wear the guys' sizes (waist/booty conflict).

Chic used to have a line called Sunset Blues that I LOVED when I was in school, but I don't like Chic's jeans anymore now - I think the quality has gone down.

Lee Riders and Guess, the crotch ends up somewhere under my chin. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Jeans
 

Ladies, I'm sure you've all been there. After trying on about 12 million different brands of jeans of all prices and labels, I FINALLY found a pair that I liked the way they fit me. My jeans of choice are Levi's 550's. I was wondering if any of you have a particular kind of jean that looks and feels great on you!

There is one type of Levi's and one type of GAP jeans that I'm comfortable wearing. And it's about time for me to go buy some new ones! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I'm tall 5'10", so normal jeans hit me like i'm wearing capri's. LEI's are like where's the flood. I love Express' Jeans, actually all their pants because I can find 99% of their pant cuts in a Long. I'm a little upset right now cause my favorite pair split in the butt the other day (But I have worn them almost everyday for almost 11 months so--all that wearing and washing i'm surprised it made it this long http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif )

I will only wear Gap jeans. I have not found any other that are as comfortable.

I love Express jeans too USF. But I like them because I'm short and they make short and regular lengths. Oh and Levi's 517s (I love bootcut anything). Most other brands of jeans are too long so I end up with little puddles of denim around my ankles (so not cute).

I looove GAP jeans... i'm tall too and i can always find them in long lengths or order them online at gap.com where they have extended sizes and lengths. Express jeans/any pants seem to fit and look great too. My new favorite jeans though, are calvin klein.. i'm convinced that these jeans were made for me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Those wonderful Levi's Engineered Jeans (Slim Fit)! This line is brand-new...it's wonderful b/c of how it fits me, and how soft yet strong the fabric is. Also--it has some kind of special seams around the legs so it's easy movement--I feel like I'm wearing my PJs (read: comfortable!!) when I'm wearing these, yet these jeans look great, too!! Also--though they say it's the Slim type of jean...it's really like a bootcut. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Unfortunately though, it's prolly one of the most expensive jeans out there among all of the dept. store brands...

I also love those jeans that hang low on your hips...those really fit me well since I'm petite, and b/c they make me look taller...

Oh yeah, and the GUESS 1060 bootcuts...very sleek, flattering!! I have oone pair that I abosltuely love wearing to parties, which is a dark shiny-ish (not too shiny, just enough to be noticeable) type and then another one which I can wear on a more regular basis..

I love Express jeans!!! In fact, I went to the mall today to buy a new pair (yeah, I know I should be buying shorts and all, but whatever!). I tried on the most fabulous pair--they were the Stretch Flare in Darkblast, regular length. They were GREAT! Too bad they were $68 http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif That's ok, those bad boys will go on sale sooner or later. And when they do, I'll be right there to buy them http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I like my Mudds because they actually give me a butt.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEE

MUDD!!! i dont know what i would do without them..they fit great.. and the older they are the better they feel comfy!
ive had a pair for 5 years..that are my fav pair

I'm going to join in on this thread, but I don't have a favorite to put down...I absolutely most positively HATE jeans. I dunno what it is about them but since I was little I've avoided wearing them and touching them. I just cringe at the thought of the roughness and the stiffness. YUCKY. It makes me get goosebumps.
I will admit I have owned a pair...a very soft cute looking pair. I wore those out, but since have not been able to find another pair I like.
So if anyone knows of any REAL REAL REAL soft ones that are made not too long...then I might consider wearing jeans again. Until then I'll stick to pants or skirts.

My favorite jeans are Abercrombie, but the problem is I have to have a 34in. length & they don't do that for all of their jeans http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif Express used to be my fav, but I'm in between sizes right now. American Eagle jeans are okay, but they too don't have long in all of the styles. J.Crew jeans are also okay. I don't like Gap jeans they're not flare-y enough.

This is an interesting thread. I am 5'2'' so i always have a hard time finding jeans that are perfect length wise. Are there any other girls that are 5'2'' or shorter that know of jeans that fit their length? The abercrombie jeans look very comfy but the shortest ones are still too long for me. Mainly the only jeans that i buy are from Gap. Although there was this time when i went in to buy a pair exactly like some that i already had and it turns out that they were high waters on me! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Ysterday I got 2 pairs of XOXO jeans--they're wonderful!!!! Yes, they're a tad bit expensive--but they are so worth it! Very soft, very comfy and it's very flattering http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. YAY!

Like so many before me, I love Express jeans with Limited right behind. I cannot wear gap/old navy/j crew etc. It sucks. Right now I"m having an issue because I'm in between sizes so none of my pants fit. That really stinks because I look goofy in everything!

I'm not much for Jeans either. Ever since I was a little kid I always had problems getting the right cut. My mom hated it. LOL
When I was in college I had some soft bugle boy jeans. I really like them. Nice and snug. Right now I have some Arizona Jeans that I got for a great price about a year ago I guess. I suppose its time to get some more. Though, I'm not much into wearing jeans *L* During the week I wear black slacks to work and usually on the weekend I want to be as comfortable as possible. Its either sweats or shorts for me. If I go out to dinner or anything eventful its gotta be khakis http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Newbie,
I'm interested to know where you bought them.
Hootie

I love Gap jeans, boot cut. They're soft and comfy and fit just right below my waist.

I've been wearing gap jeans since I was about 13 - they're the only ones that ever fit me right. I owned one pair of express jeans and they fell apart within a few months of buying them.

My "problem area" is finding jeans that aren't too baggy in the legs when they fit me in the waist/hips. Gap jeans are always cut perfectly for me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I think jeans are just difficult to fit in general. I always figured it was just me, because I was (*gasp*) a size 8/10...until my roomate, who's a perfect 4 was complaining about how hard it is to find a pair of jeans that fits her well.

I love how I can take 3 pairs of jeans into the dressing room and have one be too big, one too small, and the third fit just right

I have the opposite problem of many of you - i have no hips and no booty so I have a REALLY REALLY hard time finding jeans that fit, but I have found a few brands that I LOVE. I have a pair of Betsty Johnson stretchy jeans from 2 years ago (they dont even make them anymore, i will cry when they wear out), Bebe jeans usually fit pretty well, and Earl jeans fit PERFECTLY although they are quite a splurge.

Heya Hootie!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I got my XOXO jeans from Macy's this weekend. They are awesome! To me, they are really soft. I know what you mean about jeans being rough--a really rough kind of jean that I have in mind is Levi's. What is your definition of a rough jean? I hope that you will like the XOXOs if you get them--actually they are not that expensive if you compare them to Bebes, Earls, etc. They run from upper 40 bucks to the mid-60's http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif.

The ones that I got was a dark denim bootleg (I love dark denim! For some reason--call me weird--but, I really don't like the "regular" color of denim...I like them either DARK (stonewashed) or light! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif) and white capris which slightly flair out. I really like the waistband (where it hits your hips) of the capris...it's "shredded" for that worn-in feel, so it's very, very comfortable http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. Best of all--these jeans are very flattering, but I can actually SIT comfortably in them! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif (Usually when I get home, I take off my jeans right awya, b/c I like comfort http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. But, I can wear my XOXOs to bed if I wanted to, LOL!)

Hope that helped you, Hootie, feel free to ask more!

They are THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Definitely L.E.I. They are the greatest. The only kind I'll ever wear!(that actually fit comfortably on me).

hey bucutie02! i am about 5'2" and i absolutely LOVE express jeans. they are the most perfect fit for me everytime. they have a cut to fit pretty much anyone...extreme flare, stretch, boot cut, low rise...and loads of in colors...you should def try them out!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I don't wear jeans coz i prefer khaki and paratroop pants (both from abercrombie)..i have this weird skinny body type and it's hard to find jeans that fit me anyway...the only pair that fit me AND i liked were from NafNaf (unfortunately I don't even know if there is a store here in the US, probably in the west coast?)...i believe it's a european brand.

I like XOXO jeans so much, as I said earlier in my post, that I bought 4 more pairs!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm addicted to XOXO jeans!

Levis 505. They fit around the redwings better than most jeans

I don't wear jeans either. They look terrible on me. My friends really want to take me jean shopping but I keep telling them- they are in for a long day of tears http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I rarely wear jeans (normally cargo's from Abercrombie) but I do have some Lucky*Brand Jeans. I like them cause they feel like you've had them for years, even after you just bought them.

bucutie02, I have the EXACT same problem you do--5'2" with less-than-long legs and a really long torso. Jeans are a nightmare for me! But I find that Gap Kids or Old Navy Kids in a size 14 or 16 fits perfectly. In the meantime, everything else either goes to the tailor or the dryer on high heat! BTW, XOXO is an awesome label for little people...one of the few lines that I know I'll love and will actually fit!!!

Ditto. I'm barely standing at 5' so anything in a short length is a blessing. Bootcut (stretch) jeans are also a must--I absolutely hate flares and straight leg jeans. I have kinda muscular, short legs and these cuts do NOT look right. My favorite brands are Express, Gap, and Guess.

Im a guy and I really like the boot fit jeans at the gap as well as the worker jeans. They have to be sandblasted though.
