The Big Jeans Try On!

Up there in the “top ten questions I get asked regularly” category we have “where do you find jeans that fit your properly?” I will be the first to tell you that I hate buying jeans. I hate it with a passion. The shopping around, the trying to figure out what will fit based on size eight models, the tug and pull problem of getting them on and off….etc! Shopping for jeans is a nightmare. It just is. Worry if a woman tells you her favourite thing in the world is jean shopping. This is not a healthy response to a rather annoying and tedious task.  But, I need some new jeans. So, I thought I’d share the experience with you all and try to put a happy face on while I did so.

I regularly buy jeans from five brands. I max out my emergency credit card in buying all shapes, sizes, lengths and rinses in an effort to find at least one perfect pair for the season ahead. Why not share that experience with you guys from the beginning? So that’s exactly what I’ve done. In the video, I take a few hours worth of try ons and condense it down to just under 15 minutes of fab finds. All of my discoveries are screengrabbed and linked below.

And there is a slice of good news for this first denim post…. there is only one pair of jeans listed at over $100. The rest are well below and absolute steals!

Please note that I am a UK size 18 and usually a US 16/18. All of the jeans worn herewith are a size 34 or 18. I’m also 6’2, so I have ordered everything in the longest length they carry. Please be aware that there are affiliate links used in this post.

    Buying jeans is the bane of my existence. I feel like as a teenager/ early 20s I would just stroll in to Topshop and pick jeans that instantly fit. Now I feel like the proportions are never right! I think I need to branch out and try more brands. Gemma x
