Jeans

All I want is a new pair of jeans!!!

I'm finding it increasingly hard to find places that sell more than a few pairs of jeans. Arnotts selection is pretty dismal, Genius in Dublin city don't do laydezz anymore, BT only has certain brands. Is there anywhere that has a good selection of denims, all the big brands - Levis, Lee, Diesel, Wrangler, Replay etc? I'm actaully on the hunt for a certain Lee pair, but wouldn't mind trying on a few others anyway.

I was going to take a trip up to Boyers, or even Clerys - do these still do jeans?
Or the denim bar that used to be up Talbot St (beside Guineys?)

Thanks

sorry for an off-topic but is there any shops selling American Eagle jeans in Dublin? Two years ago I bought my first pair of AE jeans of ebay and I haven't looked any at other brands since - no other jeans suit my body shape sooo well.

Were you not able to find anything in Gap? I've not been able to find anything for years (my dream jeans are only available in the States and won't ship to here :mad:), until I went into Gap in Henry street two months ago.
I still had to get it altered, but they were pretty decent.

Some of Zara's can be good, think BT2 is doing Lee jeans olaola. Clerys and Boyers certainly do - don't forget Boyers is essentially Arnotts but cheaper - same owner

Finding a new pair of jeans that actually fit properly is a nightmare! And finding shops which stock jeans that suit one's figure is even harder!

I know you're looking for bigger brands, such as Lee, but you could try A-Wear and see what they have. They've got lots of different styles to choose from and if you see a pair that you like it could keep you going until you find a good pair of jeans that you like.

GAP is a good place to look, as is Cleary's. I'd also have suggested BT and Arnotts as some places to go first.

i'm on the hunt for a nice pair of jeans too. hopefully a fitted style i'm between a 10 to 12 with a bit of curvy bottom! I find the waistbands can hang out too far where i would like them to be fitted. i tried just taking in a v on the waistband on a few but it changed the look of the jeans so i wasn't too happy! if they're skinny/tailored jeans i hate when they bunch around the knees and ankles, its really hard to find a pair that don't do this!!! Might try gap tomorrow, any other suggestions?

+1 for Gap, try on the Long and Lean.

Tommy Hilfiger Jeans are pretty good too.

There's a Pepe shop on Exchequer Street.

It's come up before how Levi's for women are pretty much impossible to find in ROI. There is an outlet though in Kildare Village, but if you're looking for a particular style or something from current stock, they mightn't have them. Worth a look though. I was there last week and they had jeans starting at €10, and also a two for €80 deal.

My dream jeans are actually a Levi 515 (mid-rise bootcut). They made my arse look pert and my legs slim and long.

I remember going to Levi's in Kildare village and they couldn't have been more sweet and helpful about it, but it turned out they don't stock them in the UK or Ireland, not even under a different number.

Enough about me though. :rolleyes:

OP - Gap have a curvy fit jean if you want to check that out. http://www.gap.com/products/curvy-jeans.jsp

Thanks guys, I've bought Gap jeans a few times - but when I get them home and wear them a few times they always go out of shape and get a bit baggy! I've zero hips, so it's hard to find ladies jeans that fit well. The Lee jeans I want I've bought before in Arnotts and they've been my fave pair. So much so they're falling apart! I'll defo try Boyers & Clerys so!

Tk-Maxx love it for getting Pepe & Tommy Hilfiger jeans in, for the money I don't care how fast they wear out then!

Got some pairs in Tk-Maxx in London that are still at full price in the shops here so I saved over €300 happy days £19.99 a pair, just if your every shopping in the jeans section make sure the tag doesn't say "SECONDS" on it, usually means there's a hole in them somewhere cos I investigated a couple of pairs in there one day and they all had holes in them where they got nicked with something sharp. I can be very fussy about jeans but the Hilfiger pair I got I absolutely love, they fit perfectly and the length is fab!

Hey there,

Citizens of humanity and river island can be quite good. I often struggle getting a good fit as I'm always left with a muffin top:mad:.

There's actually a Pepe shop in Kildare Village as well! And do you mean 7 For All Mankind... Because they have that in Kildare now too! Didn't go in last time so I can't comment on the rate of discount.
