New Jeans - Women!

NYC Diva

Hi there,

Just saw Cremo's thread and thought "fantastic"...until I realised it was all about men's jeans!

So I need new jeans too...but I'm looking for funky,casual-to-wear-out-at-night jeans.

However, I have a problem! I've piled a few pounds on recently and plan to lose them over the next month or so. We're talking half a stone! (I'm now 9 and a half stone)

So is there anywhere that has cheap(ish) jeans so that I can wear now and still look cool but not to have to spend the earth?

Any advice?

Yeah awear is a good choice, or i got a pair of "shimmy" jeans in New Look...they are nice and tight around the bum and then go into a boot cut at the end..look lovely.

I live in American Eagle jeans, yeah it can be a little bit of stress getting them over, but they do work out cheeper (around $30-$40 for a pair), better fit, better quality, better choise than anyhting I've ever found in ireland.
Their size guide is also spot on.

They do free shipping to American addresses most of the time, so if you have a friend or family over there order to them and just have em ship it over. in total your probaly looking at >€40 for the jeans and shipping.

Topshop do some nice ones too, but I find their sizes to be a bit odd..

oh i wanted to buy a pair of ae jeans but i was like wuold the sizing be ok????....like i measured myself and buy their standard i would be like a size 4-6 (8-10 uk) which i was like awwwh man, cos i fit into size 0 gap and yeah yeah i have been told they do vanity sizing but i was thinking i would atleast fit into a size 2.

def awear, got really nice ones there today for €35. STEAL!

aliqueenb

size 8 or 6, and then in gap a size four...uk sizes like

shazpunk

well then your probably right to go for a 4 in American Eagle....

You know yourself that sizes everywhere are messed up anyway!

aliqueenb

yeah i hate the way they are actually all so different, it really gets confusing, lol the last pair of jeans i got were gant but they were in childrens sizes so

shazpunk

thats another reason why i stick to American jeans, the sizes are more standard.

Like I'm a 14/16 here in TopShop or River Island, but I'm a 12 in GAP and a 10 in AE and A&F.....its all very strange lol

yup, I'm the dumbass that thought you were a girl.:rolleyes:

Well NYC, to quote myself:

I really like the new A-wear range of denim, loads of sizes, lengths and best of all, loads of shades! I bought three pairs already because once I find a style I like, I stick to it!

Oh, and they're €35 a pop, which is the best part.

I second that! Got a lovely pair of dark wash wide legs for same price. They've some sort of 'denim clinic' on at the mo too so they'll sort your sizing out for you.

shazpunk

I got a pair of black straight legs fro A/ware... €15 (friends staff discount)
but I find them a horrible fit. ?A/wear dont seem to take hips into account when sizing, just belly. I'm a size 14/16 hips, but belly wise I'd be >12.
I found A/wearto be more stress than its worth lol

Am now a size 12 but have been all sizes up to 18

principles - good for night out & are tight on arse 25yo
Top Shop - moto - brill but loose shape after awhile
Aware - buy a size bigger and the seems are usually crap - bought 'boyfriend' jeans there last year. Waste of money
New Look - nice fit and good selection of diff styles
DKNY - love these - Macys 3rd floor infront of you after you get off escalator
Seven Jean - tricky to get nice pair as they all low rise - I like bootcut that covers arse
Miss 60 - good for 'skinnnies' & 'shorties' as they give you an arse and tight on thighs
Next - ok but my mother wears them
