Default I HATE trying on JEANS!!

Ok...so I am having a terrible time finding a pair of jeans that fit me well. What is the secret?

What jeans do you like the best? I realize that this is a very random post and that everyone will have their own favorite brand. But I honestly don't even know where to start. Everything I have been trying on lately fits horribly. HELP! Please share your secrets!!

It's almost as bad as trying on swimsuits!

I love almost everything from Ann Taylor LOFT including most of their jeans.

My girlfriend loves 7 for all mankind -- they're horribly expensive but when you find something that fits AND makes you look good, it's worth the price.

Good luck!!!!

I like 7's too. But I have found that Citizen Jeans fit better. I have a pair that are bootcut with a little stretch in them and they are wonderful!!

If you aren't able to shell out the dough for those, believe it or not, Sarah Jessica Parker's new line at Steve and Barry's have a great pair of stretch jeans ( straight leg and boot cut) that are very slenderizing.

I get mine from Old Navy, b/c I'm cheap. And I'm petite enough that styles designed for teenagers fit me well. I could probably pick up a pair from Limited Too (the kid's store) and they would fit... I hit the jackpot for genetics.

It depends what you are looking for Christy- wide leg, narrow leg, stretch, no stretch... Low waisted ones tend to be more flattering on people and look less like "mom" jeans. Bootcut makes your legs look slimmer. Stretch jeans have more give to move around, but are made to fit snuggly. Since you are slim, I'm guessing you'd be best in a mid-rise, a little stretch, with either a straight or bootcut leg.

See- that is what I am looking for. I want to be excited about a pair of jeans- not necessarily the ass part. I have plenty of ass to fill my jeans. Now I am on the search for some new pants!

I love learning about these jeans companies. Thank you for all of the input- keep it coming!

so Bill and I are Jean SNOBS,,, we dont drink wine,,, we dont drink that mych at all actually, we prefer to shell out stupid money on Jeans. My favorites are True Religion, Joes Jeans, Sevens,Paper Denim and Cloth. DH LOVES Rock and Republic and Paper Denim. For SOME dumb reason, I find that when you spend money on Jeans, its soooo worth it. They look great, they feel great and they last for years! The rest of my clothes and shoes I insist on buying on sale!

I have a pair of Mossimo jeans (from Target) that fit better than any other jeans ever. (I'm a jeans nut.)

American Eagle jeans also work for me.
