Since the weather is warming up, I am on the hunt for a denim refresh! It is one of the hardest things for me to find since my body type is slightly different than many. I wanted to test out some denim from three different retailers for the first round. Abercrombie, American Eagle and Target are up first….
I have included jeans and shorts since so spring break is right around the corner 🙂
ABERCROMBIE DENIM REVIEW
(Left to Right:)
Mid Rise Super Skinny Jeans (size 29/regular) , Great fit and stretch! I really like the placement of the distressing on the knees. I prefer mid rise for most bottoms since I am only 5’2. They are also on sale!
HIGH RISE MOM JEANS (SIZE 29/REGULAR) , I AM VERY SPECIFIC WHEN IT COMES TO MOM JEANS. I PERSONALLY WAS NOT A FAN OF THESE ON MY BODY TYPE. THEY FIT TTS BUT NOT A LOT OF STRETCH. I PREFER MORE DISTRESSING ON THIS STYLE OF JEAN.
CURVY HIGH RISE JEGGINGS IN WHITE (SIZE 29/WHITE) , I HAD TO TRY A WHITE OPTION SINCE SUMMER IS AROUND THE CORNER. THE NEW CURVE LOVE LINE IS GREAT FOR MY BODY TYPE AND GIVES LOTS OF BREATHING ROOM. I ACTUALLY HAD SOME ROOM LEFT OVER SO PROBABLY COULD HAVE EVEN SIZED DOWN. THESE HAVE NO DISTRESSING AND GREAT STRETCH. GREAT OPTION FOR THE WORKPLACE.
MID RISE SUPER SKINNY JEANS /MEDIUM RIPPED WASH (SIZE 29/REGULAR) , THESE ARE THE SAME STYLE AS THE FIRST PAIR BUT WITH MORE DISTRESSING. SAME FIT AND STRETCH AND I PREFER MORE DISTRESSING. REALLY LIKE THIS PAIR!
LEFT AND RIGHT PAIR:
MID RISE BOYFRIEND (SIZE 29) , I REALLY LIKE THE DISTRESSING AND WASH OF THESE. THEY FIT REALLY NICE BUT I WAS SORT OF CONFUSED ON THE MATERIAL IN THE MIDDLE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE IS TOO MUCH OF IT AND IT WOULD BUNCH UP AS YOU WALKED. I THINK THEY LOOK GREAT ON LONGER LEGS AND TALLER BODY TYPES.
MIDDLE PAIR:
CURVY HIGH RISE MOM SHORTS (SIZE 29) , I HONESTLY DID NOT LIKE HOW HIGH RISE THESE WERE ON ME. I PREFER MID RISE BUT THE WASH AND DISTRESSING ARE REALLY NICE.
LEFT TO RIGHT:
CURVY HIGH WAISTED LEOPARD JEGGING (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , OBSESSED! THAT IS REALLY THE ONLY WORD I HAVE FOR THIS REVIEW LOL – GREAT STRETCH AND GREAT FIT!
CURVY HIGH WAISTED FLARE JEANS (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , I REALLY LIKE THE DARK WASH OF THESE BUT THEY ARE SUPER HIGH RISE ON ME. GREAT STRECH AND LENGTH.
DISTRESSED JEGGINGS (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , THESE ARE PROBABLY MY FAVORITE FROM THE ENTIRE REVIEW! OBSESSED WITH THE DISTRESSING, FIT, STRETCH, WASH AND PRICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
CURVY HIGH WAIST JEGGINGS (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , THESE ARE A GREAT OPTION FOR THE WORKPLACE SINCE THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY DISTRESSING. THEY FIT GREAT AND I REALLY LIKE THE RINSE ON THESE. THEY ALSO ARE NOT TOO HIGH WAIST WHICH I PREFER.
STRETCH MOM SHORTS (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , I REALLY LIKE THESE! FIT GREAT, THE WASH AND DISTRESSING ARE PERFECT AND I REALLY LIKE THE LENGTH. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
90’S BOYFRIEND SHORTS (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , I PERSONALLY DID NOT LIKE THIS STYLE ON MY BODY TYPE BUT I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK AND WASH. THEY WERE A TAD LONGER THAN I PREFER BUT STILL SUPER CUTE.
TARGET DENIM REVIEW
TWO LEFT PAIR:
HIGH RISE SKINNY JEANS (SIZE 8/SHORT) , THESE ARE A GREAT PAIR OF DENIM FOR ONLY $20. GREAT FIT, AWESOME STRETCH, AND PERFECT FOR THE WORKPLACE.
HIGH RISE FLAIR JEANS (SIZE 8/REGULAR) , THESE REMIND ME OF THE SOFIA VERGARA FLAIR JEANS THAT I AM OBSESSED WITH.. THEY REALLY DO FIT THE SAME. I LOVE THE WASH AND STRETCH!
HIGH RISE DISTRESSED SKINNY JEANS (SIZE 8) , THESE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO A PAIR I HAVE FROM AMERICAN EAGLE… AND FIT ALMOST THE SAME. I LOVE THE SMALL DISTRESSING IN THE KNEES AND THEY HAVE GREAT STRETCH!
HIGH RISE DISTRESSED SHORTS (SIZE 10, ONLY SIZE THAT WAS AVAILABLE BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE HOW THEY FIT) , I WANTED TO GIVE THESE A TRY EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT HAVE MY SIZE. THEY ARE A TAD TOO BIG BUT IF I WERE TO WASH AND DRY THEY WOULD BE PERFECT. THE WASH IS GREAT AND I LOVE THE STRETCH.
HIGH RISE DISTRESSED SHORTS MEDIUM WASH (SIZE 8) , I REALLY LIKE THIS PAIR ESPECIALLY FOR ONLY $18! GREAT FIT AND I LOVE THE WASH. REALLY GREAT OPTION FOR SUMMER.
