[…] on a hunt for new denim over the last few weeks, and in addition to the pair that I wrote about in this post, I stumbled upon this pair of distressed boyfriend denim in Forever21. Believe it or not, this […]
Every once in a while, a girl finds a pair of denim that fits so well she never wants to take them off. She might even contemplate getting married in them one day. Guys, I’ve found my new favorite denim.
After finishing up a shopping trip to H&M in Carriage Crossing a few weeks ago, I decided to pop into American Eagle to see what was new in store for Fall, specifically with denim. I honestly cannot tell you the last time I’d been inside an AE store, but I had seen a few bloggers talking about their denim over the last few months, so I decided to go and check them out.
When I walked in, I saw this light washed, distressed pair of flares (AE Ripped Super High-Waisted Flare Jean) on one of their mannequins and immediately asked to try the style on. They had my size in stock (14), and after pulling some additional denim styles, I headed to their fitting room and decided to try them on.
HOLY SH*T.
Yall, this was the first time I have EVER tried something on that I saw on a mannequin and it actually fit! These are the jeans that I have been looking for all my life. I LOVE flares; they’ve always been my favorite style of denim, but I’ve had the hardest time finding a style that fits perfectly. They are the perfect length, and although they are a high-waist cut (which I usually despise), they fit moreso like a mid-rise on me.
The denim feels premium and has a little bit of stretch but not so much that they will lose shape the longer you wear them. THEY ARE PERFECT. Like seriously, they’re perfect.
I’m actually contemplating buying another pair now just to be safe because they fit THAT good. I’ll be able to wear these all Fall with my favorite booties once it get’s a little cooler and I can’t wait.
Also, they’re only $60! That’s very affordable, especially for the quality. They also come in Short, Regular and Long Inseams, and go up to a size 20, so there are a lot of fit options for people to try. I picked up some additional styles and this cute smocked mini dress, but these are the highlight of my purchase. Run, don’t walk to get these jeans!
Have you found your perfect pair of denim?
