In my Poor student day, one pair which I changed out every few years.
Now I have 9 pairs. A lot of them because I have been in search of the perfect high waist straight wide leg jeans.
1st pair, actually my size but so stretchy. Now they are two inches too big at the waist. Second time, got a very nice straight leg pair but has rip in the leg style. Along with that a thin light wash apair, nice for the summer but looks frumpy.
Then I thought get a n expensive pair. Followed their measurement instruction and even when down 1 size, still big at the waist.
Then I have a old tight leg high waist one when they first became popular. Fits very nice and thin. I wear them in the summer.
Then a white pair. Waist 2 inches too big even when follow their measurement.
Then I needed a black pair, found two at j crews.They fit very nice so keeping both.
Now I just found high waist one wide leg but not too wide. Waist is nice and tight. Looks perfect. Hopefully will be the last pair I buy.
So hard to find, even when you get the right size and fit, depending on the material, don’t always stay the same, then the hassle buying online and not being able to try them on.
That’s why I try to support brick and mortar stores.
