Random women's fashion question about JEANS?

[NYCgrrl]

I stopped being a regular jeans wearer almost twenty years ago finding dresses and skirts so much more comfy but bought a pair this month because…it seemed time, lol.

I love that they are anti skinny (despised that style since don’t think they did anything for the average person), made from a sturdy “old fashioned” denim, and have enough useable pockets.
Now that I broke the ban think I’ll buy them in navy blue next.

48 and my current go-tos are Talbot's mid-rise, straight cut and Ann Taylor skinny jeans (not for when it's cold out).

Levi's 711 skinny. I am a tiny skinny gal (late 50's in age) and these have been my go-to's for years.

I think my current favorites are Democracy. I got them at TJMaxx for under $40. I always go for boot cut, darker wash.

I don't wear jeans often, but when I do it has to be Lee Riders. I have a couple pairs.

Lee Riders, mid-rise, relaxed fit, straight cut -- I've worn these for years.

Same! I’m late 60s & have lived in jeans my whole life. I’ve worn Lee’s as long as I can remember. Being short & overweight, I find the straight leg the best option for me. They have several different rises, leg widths, fits & colors so lots of options.

I wear Susan Graver and Denim Co straight leg stretch jeans from QVC - so comfy I can sleep in them.

Im not a brand loyalist, but in addition to some of the brands listed here, I also sometimes like White House Black Market's jeans.

For context I'm 67, height challenged (5'2") and have hips and a bit of a stomach. Most clothes I wear an eight. I only wear jeans about twice a year, just haven't found any that I'm comfortable in but right now my go to pair if I have to wear them, is Old Navy/curvy/short/midrise.

You can often find them at Sierra and occasionally on sale on Amazon too. They are my favorite.

I really like the elastic in the waistband. It helps with gaping.

My go-to jeans are FDJ (French Dressing Jeans). I’ve had great success with with one of their particular styles/size. The store I get them from has occasional sales for 25% off, which helps. I buy 1-2 pairs a year.

OP here. I took the plunge and ordered some Levi's 501 original fit straight leg jeans.
They'll arrive within a few days.
I'll let you know how it goes.
I figured I won't know unless I try.

My favorites for the last 10 years or so are Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. I have the typical blue jeans, plus gray, brown, green and black.

Same here. These are all I wear and have worn for the past 20 years or so. I wear GV Amanda jeans daily, but they are higher waisted. I’m not sure if GV has a mid rise style. I buy them at Kohls and on Amazon.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I wear jeans almost every day, so I have quite a stash. I need plus size jeans, so my favorites are from Lane Bryant. I do have a pair of Judy Blues that I also really like.

I've tried GV and actually love how they look on me other than the waist.
They sit practically at my bust! And when I sit they give me more rolls than I have haha.
But yes a solid choice for those that have a long enough torso for them to not make you look like Steve Urkel.

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Old Navy boot cut.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

OP update.
Got the Levi's very quickly.
They are going back just as fast haha.
They fit nicely when I stand but they are EXTREMELY high waisted and when I sit its the tightest thing I've ever had on my body.
I'd probably throw up or pass out if I tried to sit for more than a minute lol.
And I was surprised by how thin they seem compared to what I expected. I was expecting you know the thickness of 80's/90's denim.
It wasn't as thin as most jeans these days but not thick either.

So I've decided that my 2 basic options now are the Levi classic bootcut but size down ANOTHER size and hope they stretch out to what I want or stick to the Lee relaxed fit which are super comfy but just a little loser in the leg than I'd like leading to it look less relaxed more babby.

Oh well I tried haha.

I'm older than most of you on this post, in my early 70's, and I still love my jeans
I buy Wild Fable brand at Target, high rise and straight fit. I love how these fit me and they are super comfortable, and they don't break the bank. I usually get them on sale around $25.00 or so.

The Democracy jeans at TJMaxx sound like something I would like to try. I love TJMaxx so will check these out soon
