Favorite skinnies?

[razethecity]

Help! I've been a loyal wearer of Gap Long & Lean jeans for several years but the quality has declined pretty steadily and I'd like to find a new standby. Ideally skinnies. I've tried Torrid and Levis today, but didn't love either pair. Torrid's felt kind of cheap and the Levis were kind of short on me (I'm about 5'11 and a size 20-24, fwiw). Has

I've heard Old Navy's Rockstar jeans are good. I personally didn't care for them (the legs were too loose on me), but I've heard good things. However, they won't be nearly as high-quality as Lucky.

I haven't had good luck with old navy in the past, but I'm game to give them a try again.

Old Navy always fits me perfectly for about 40 minutes and then it's stretch city. :(

Yeah, that's my issue with the rockstars-- I got a pair in one of the ridic colors and while they are cute, it's bag city all over.

I've had really good experience with the plus size versions of James-Jeans. I get mine from Nordstrom- the quality and fit are both really really good.

I've never heard of that brand, I'll check them out!

the sticker shock can sometimes be unsettling......but they will fit you length wise without question. I think their inseam is around 33/34 at least (I'm 5'1 and usually have to get several inches hacked off at the tailor).

I've had pretty good luck with the skinny jeans styles at Avenue.

Thumbs up! I have an Avenue really close to my office!

I'm a fan of the old navy sweetheart skinnies. :)

Same here. The Rockstars are awful, but the Sweetheart fit works well for me and the legs are nice and fitted which is something that I have trouble with being an apply-potato shape

I know they're the cheapest of the cheap and they've got quite a reputation for being a purveyor of trashy disposable clubwear, but I really love my Reign skinnies from Deb. They cost me $9 off a clearance rack and they've lasted me three years so far. They are amazing and they do not stretch out. I've gotten three full days of wear out of them, easy, with no bagging anywhere.

Ooh, that's interesting. I'll check that out.
