@erileit OMG Erin, I haven't bought jeans in two years. They just aren't a staple for me. I'm still reeling from fitting in smaller jeans. One pair was a size 4! It's weird, but it's actually scary buying small clothes. I'm biting the bullet though and am ready to buy some. I need a pair that doesn't fall down when I walk, lol! ๐ธ

@crzyfacegrl Thanks! I know in tops Levi's run small, do the jeans as well?

No. go to a Levi's store or outlet and they will fit you in the style that fits and looks the best on you.

Lucky, Express, and Silver brand jeans work best on me. Tall and with skinny legs. Best part is none of them shrink in length. I have a few in my closet as well, check it out โบ

@jerlgirl I hear ya! I'm in a 2 now! But if you see some stuff, tag me and I can help you:) I have some stuff too actually that I haven't put up yet. But, if u have skinny legs, then go with skinny jeans or leggings and show them off!

@erileit Thanks hon, I looked last night and all I can find in the right size are bootcut. The few skinny jeans I found are low rise and that won't work well for me. (My booty is in the front, lol, and I need a mid rise to cover it. I need "flat butt, relaxed gut" jeans!) I am having problems seeing myself as smaller. When I look in the mirror, I still see a larger lady. Girl, you don't need to get any smaller. You are beautiful! But I understand the stress diet. Take care of yourself please. ๐ธ

@ministercoco Thanks honey! I'm going to have to find a Levi store and see what fits me. Then maybe I can find a pair on Poshmark! I'd rather get them here if I can. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. I appreciate your input!๐

I have a pair of Lucky jeans in my closet... They're a little cropped so if you're especially tall maybe not...but they're new!

My favorites are American eagle, because I have a small waist and a booty! Lol and silver brand! The American eagle I get are more of a relaxed fit, while the Silver brand I wear because they make my shape look amazing!

@cantabrigiana Oh thanks! I'll check those out. I appreciate it!๐ธ

@dmarie44 That's so fantastic! Good for you! I'm not really at my goal either and have hit a plateau, but I'm sure it will just take time. I know you can reach your's too! Feel free to drop me a note if you ever need encouragement, because I totally get it. I appreciate the jean info more than you can know. Jayne ๐ธ

@kittiflash Thanks so much for the input! I may have the opposite problem though, no booty and a little pot belly - the "frontal booty"! Lol. I will check into those brands though. I live in a smaller town and sometimes it's hard to fine the better brands, but I'm hopeful! ๐ธ

@jerlgirl sweet! And thanks for all the shares :) I can give you a discount on those jeans if you are interested since you were specifically looking for them, maybe "Lucky" $13 instead of $20 ๐

My weight varies. I love my Loft High Waisted Skinny! You may also try Buckle. Thy are very good about recommending styles and sizes to fit your body. Remember the more spandex content the more they stretch through out the day so start the day with your jeans snug.

jerlgirl
@cantabrigiana Aww, you are the sweetest! I think that particular cut is going to be big in the legs on me though. My legs are freakishly skinny and even the 10" ankle opening is loose, so I'm afraid to go with a 14" opening. But I appreciate it more than I can say! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

@jerlgirl you too, hope to talk to you again โบ๏ธ

@khaygood6425 See, I wouldn't have thought of that! Thanks for letting me know about the spandex. I own lots of jeans (that I need to list, lol) but seldom wore them in recent years. They are mostly vintage, lol! I tend to wear skirts/skorts in the summer and leggings in the winter. I am getting a much needed education! I hope you have a fabulous holiday season! Jayne ๐ธ

Congrats on the weight loss! ๐ I am tall with long skinny legs. For our body type, I think skinny jeans with some stretch (so they conform to your shape) are the best bet. My favorites are Paige Peg Skinny (if you are size 6, I would try 28 or 29) and Joe's jeans (same waist size). Good luck!! ๐๐

@jerlgirl I am also a big fan of legging/jeggings in the colder month, I layer them with dresses and boots instead of tights. I have 2 colorful pair in my closet. I kept an Orange pair for my personal use๐

jerlgirl
@mkfigeley Thanks for the suggestion! Do you know if those come in different inseams? I'm not very tall but I have long legs and I need 31-32" inseams depending on the fit. Most of what I am seeing is 29" inseam. Are jean styles just getting a lot shorter?
Nov 29Reply

mkfigeley
Skinny jeans and jeggings are shorter than straight-leg, boot-cut and other styles, so if you've been trying on a bunch of skinny jeans lately, you are likely to be discouraged with how short they are. I need a 31" or 32" inseam in skinny jeans, and nothing worked for me!! I tried and tried tons of brands until I found the Paige Peg Skinny jeans and the Joe's Skinny jeans. I think you will like both of these if you have a similar inseam and skinny legs. Good luck!! โค๏ธ๐

You are so welcome! The tall Posh sisters have to help each other...lol!! ๐๐๐ผ

@mkfigeley Honey, I wish I could say I was tall. I'm 5'3" on a good day. Short body, short arms and long legs. When I was little people would ask "what do you want to be when you grow up"? I always said "tall"...lol. But the jean length is spot on for me! Thanks! ๐ธ

Hi Jayne! I'm in the same boat as you! I find that express jeans fit me perfectly (without breaking the bank!), and levi's fit pretty well, too!

@lyss91 Thanks for the info! I appreciate it! I bought one pair of AE that are already loose so, I may hold off a while to see if my weight progress continues. I will check out the brands you suggested! Any in your closet? Happy holidays! Jayne ๐

Hi there- just thought I'd put my two cents in ๐ Personally, I love the Rock Star jeans & jeggings from Old Navy. I also dropped quite a bit of weight recently and find them to fit well, don't stretch out of shape and are affordable (plus Old Navy always seems to be having some sort of sale going on) Good luck on your jeans search and congrats on the weight loss! ๐๐ป๐

jerlgirl
@vegasgirl44 Thanks so much for responding! Congrats on your recent weight loss too. I appreciate your input more than you know. Jeans aren't the inexpensive item that they used to be and I want to make the right investment, lol! Old Navy is on my list of places to go and try on jeans, then I'll see what is available on Poshmark. Thanks for stopping by, Happy Holidays to you! Jayne ๐โ๏ธ

You need to try Express jeans! Reasonable prices with coupons . Good fits, especially with the mid rise , it's normal lol

@izzysworld Thanks hon! I will keep that in mind. I appreciate the tip! I found a pair of AE that fit for now and am waiting to see where my weight settles in to do more jean shopping. Happy pushing! Jayne๐ธ
