What are your favorite jeans?
 

My whole teenage and adult life I have been obsessed with having the perfect pair of jeans. I think I'm shaped funny -- I'm a size 2 with NO hips and the world's smallest ass, but I'm broad-shouldered and a C/D cup, so I'm out of proportion and I think I look ridiculous -- and so I am always looking for jeans that make me look more proportioned. When I tried on the Citizens of Humanity Ingrid #002 jeans, my fiance's jaw dropped, and he said, "Look how cute and curvy you look!" The Pacific wash was what I ended up buying. I love them -- it looks like I have more of a shape! I also have two pairs of Seven A-pocket jeans, one with natural stitching and one with pink stitching, and I love the way those look on me, too. I also have a pair of "old-school" bootcut Sevens, from back when the word Seven was inside the waistband, that I bought a few years ago, and I still love those. Those are also good ass jeans. :) The Citizens jeans, though, remain my fiance's favorite, and he wants me to have more in the Ingrid cut.

I've owned Habitual jeans twice, and both times I ended up selling them on eBay because once I got them home and wore them a couple of times I hated them. I've tried on several styles of Paper Denim & Cloth jeans, and they just never look right on me.

I remember a couple of people mentioning that they own Blue Cult jeans. I have always loved the way they look but have never tried any on -- how do they fit? Can anybody recommend a particular cut that might flatter my bony little ass and make it look more like an actual ass? :)

What are YOUR favorite jeans? :)

Seriously, I should be doing work, but this is important.

I think that GreekChat is important.

On w/ the thread!

I have a similar problem. I'm pretty tall, about 5'10 and some change, with long legs, and no hips. The other problem is that my quads are HUGE because of rowing and triathlon training. I hate low riders because I hate the flesh hanging over the sides (yuck) and because they rub on my insulin pump which hurts. But I hate high waist ones too because they make me feel like a fogey. I hate flares because they make me look short and dumpy and they're tight on my quads and look stupid. But then I found a pair of Gap "slim fit" straight leg, medium rise jeans...perfect in every way. High enough not to squeeze my giggle or rub my pump, but low enough not to look old fart, not tight on my quads, and long enough not to be high waters. Nice dark wash too. I am going to wear them till they fall apart...and then I'll patch them. Oh and I got them for 10 bucks on sale.

I too am on the short side (5'5''), rather well endowed, with not much butt to speak of. I loooove my Sevens, especially the A-pocket varieties (I recently got a pair of distressed A-pockets with metal studs forming the A's). Paper Denim & Cloth work well for me as well, as do Blue Cults, but recently Blue Cult has disappeared. Are they still around? Chip & Pepper jeans are good too

One brand that I love the look of, but don't look good on me are Rock & Republic.

I am "5'7" and 120 pounds of all legs. It's hard to find a pair of jeans that fits good on my hips but are also long enough. I have normal size hips but not much of a booty. I've found that the best jeans for me are Guess and Citizens for Humanity. Everything else either doesn't fit snug enough on the butt, too narrow on my hips, or makes me look like I'm wearing a pair of capris!

I kind of like my XOXO jeans, myself. They're not that expensive compared to other brands, either...maybe around $50 to $80.

I am convinced that apparel makers believe everybody in the United States has no hips. I have the same problem my mom had when she was younger--my waist is one size, but my hips are like a size bigger. So if I get pants that fit my waist I can't squeeze my butt into them, but if I get them to fit my hips, the waist is waaaaaaay too big so there's this huge gap in the back. Yuk! Thank God for whoever invented hip-huggers...the whole waist thing isn't usually an issue with those.

I'm 5'8" and 130 pounds with a butt. I have a pair of Joe's Jeans that I love! They fit me perfectly. I tried on a pair of Citizens but they didn't fit me nearly as good.

My favorite jeans are Pepe Jeans and Parasuco Jeans, especially style # 8094. I tried to find some pix online, but couldn't. But those are the best.

Levi 550, light stone wash or any stretch bootcut jeans in that color

I'm 5'10" with hips and a butt and have a pair of Blue Cult that I love (but am afraid to try them on after the Holiday weeknd) and a pair of Blue2 (bought them on eBay, the seller said they were Blue Cult, but when i got them, they were the lesser-end brand. Oh well) that aren't bad either.

I tried on a pair of Joe's Jeans and loved loved loved how they fit but couldn't justify spending that much at the time.

Otherwise I have my trusty Silvers or GAP long and leans to fall back on, since I know they'll always be long enough.

Miss Sixty
Diesel
Seven
Blue Cult--I just bought my first pair of Blue Cults a few weeks ago. I have a small waist and wide hips, and I didn't have a problem with the waist-hip issue like I do in most other jeans.

Honestly, I love my cheap ass Old Navy ultra low rise jeans more than anything. They fit my no-ass, no-hip having body perfectly.

I usually buy American Eagle and Old Navy. I'm not going to get printing ink on jeans that cost $120.

I'm skinny with super-long legs (36-inch inseam). The best jeans I've found are GAP Long and Lean with the X-Long inseam. They're very affordable. I also love Lucky Brand Jeans. I just wish I could find them on sale sometimes.
