Joe’s Jeans.

14 11 2008

I bought my first pair of designer jeans when I was twenty, and since then haven’t bought anything else.  The fit, the look, and the feel were dramatically better than jeans that I had been buying from Gap and Express. I really can’t afford the retail price for most designer jeans, so I shop on eBay for my denim. I usually only buy it new, with the tags still on, and I’ve gotten amazing deals.

Like my most recent score: a pair of Joe’s Jeans in the “Rocker” cut, brand new for $16.01. That’s incredible! They’re my new favorite jeans, too–I’m sold on Joe’s.

Things to love: COMFORT. I’ve tried on many pairs of Joe’s Jeans before, and they are always super comfortable. They also fit my curvier shape great–the lower rise hugs just the right part of my hips and doesn’t create love handles. Did I mention they’re comfortable? The cuts are super-cute, and the denim seems durable. Oh, and they’re comfortable, too.

Less than perfect: The price. Unless you take a leaf out of my book, which, I grant you, will limit your style and color options, prepare to pay about $175.

Final Analysis: Worth. It. I love these jeans! They’re flattering and feel like wearing sweatpants. My advice to you is to stop in at Macy’s or Nordstrom’s and try on a variety of styles and sizes to see what you like best. Jot down the information and start surfing eBay. If you’re diligent about it, you can find GREAT deals. If you don’t got the eBay route, I recommend buying fewer pairs of jeans–instead of having a five or six, just stick to two really awesome pairs of jeans.

They also go on sale at Anthropologie from time to time. I bought two pairs for $10.99 each!
