Ay yay yay....did we have to go there with this topic?
I *always* have an incredibly hard time finding jeans that fit.
Here's my difficulty - I'm 5'8'. I have a small waist, wide hips, big ol' butt and long legs. Things that fit at the waist tend to make my butt look titanic and ride *way* too high. I feel like a geek with high-waisted pants up to my armpits or something.
Jeans that fit in the hips are usually too short and I look like a geek with high-water pants.
Sooo...I usually end up with jeans that are slightly baggy which will sit low on my hips. Then, I buy them in the "long" version if possible - or I'll just buy a size bigger. 'Cause I can't stand pant legs that are too short on me!
At the moment I'm wearing Levi's 555 jeans. They're nice and long. I've had some success with certain cuts of CK jeans. I also own a pair of jeans from the Gap that my sister gave me (I don't know which style they are). The Gap jeans I have are cool 'cause they sit low on the hips. Someone told me that Old Navy carries a huge selection of different sizes. My roommate often shops for custom sizes on the websites for The Limited, Old Navy and the Gap for her jeans and pants.
As for designer jeans back in the day, when I was in Jr. high in 89/90-90-91...it was all about Guess? Acid washed, stone washed...you name it!
I had a pair of dark blue Jordache jeans with the yellow thread. I think I also had a pair of light grey Gloria Vanderbilt jeans as well (yes, with the embroidered swan!). hey, does anyone remember Cross Colors? Those brighty colored, baggy jeans were really popular around 1991-92 or so.
