Girls, question about current jean brands

Ok, there is a big sale coming up here in SF and these are the brands they are carrying:
  • 7 for all Mankind
  • True Religion
  • Hudson Jeans
  • Blue Cult
  • Joe's Jeans
  • 575 Denim
  • Chip & Pepper
  • J&Company

My question is does anyone know how these jeans are cut? Which jeans are best for which body types, etc...
I buy Calvin because they fit the way I like but are so darn*it expensive. I'm looking for jeans with a little more spunk to them.


Thanks

Whoa, that'll teach me to take a nap this late in the afternoon.

I read,
" Ok, there is a big sale coming up here in SF and these are the brands they are carrying"

And my immediate reaction was, "WHAT THE CRAP IS SINN FEIN DOING SELLING JEANS?!

I definitely need a break from covering the new Northern Ireland assembly.

But on the topic: I got nothin. Sorry.

I don't really have hips or much of a butt, and Sevens fit me amazingly well. If this helps, I'd say they fit more like American Eagle pants than Ann Taylor pants (which are butt-baggy to me).

I don't know about the other brands.

7 for all Mankind - fits so well, but like valkyrie i have small hips and butt

True Religion - seems to fit a lot of body types


Chip & Pepper - IMO, cut very very small.



Sevens and Paiges are my fav jeans overall. I like the Seven A pockets best. And the Paige Laurel Canyon cut.

I own 2 pairs of Sevens and I absolutely love them. One is a dark denim and the other is like a normal shade, fading to dark. Both of them make your thighs look realllllly skinny. I'm not sure how to describe the cut, but from what I've seen, they look pretty great on anyone!

Seven and Chip & Pepper are cut amazingly and tend to fit everyone pretty well.

Thanks for the responses. I just want to know what I'm dealing with when I get ther and what I should be going for. I have a medium waist and a gymnasts butt and runners thighs. It's really hard to find jeans that fit all over.

I think certain styles of Joe's Jeans are cut a little more generously through the hip/thigh area but still look good.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense to pay $600+ for a pair of Evisus with an awful baggy cut or super tight taper fit. The only times I ever see anyone buy these is Japanese guys with a lot of cash that just love "the hip hop" and can't wait to pair their evisu jeans with a pair of jolly rancher colored bape shoes. I realize I throw away a lot of money, but even I don't understand where the appeal for evisu comes from.

Get over yourself Rudey. I said I was a fan, not that I bought them.

Work on those reading comprehension skills.

Let me use your words on you to help you understand the irony here:

"Get over yourself jubilance1922. I [neither] said [you were] a fan, [nor] that [you] bought them.

Work on those reading comprehension skills."
