It’s only been a few years since jeans have made their way into my wardrobe after a very long hiatus. In my new jeans-wearing journey, I have often asked myself: where do you find the perfect ? I have tried many different brands, a variety of styles and I can confidently say that not all plus size jeans are created equally.
I began to think true plus size high waist skinny jeans that mold to your body without causing any kind of discomfort were a unicorn. But recently I discovered the answer to my jeans dilemma. And I am here to tell you that makes the PERFECT plus size high waist skinny jeans.
The Try-On
On a recent trip to Lane Bryant, I brought nearly ten different pairs of jeans with me to the dressing room. I tried everything from plus size wide leg trousers to pull-on jeggings. I fell in love with a number of pairs but there was one clear winner going home with me. When I first put on Lane Bryant’s in the dressing room, I loved the way they looked. I was shocked that the regular length wasn’t too long on my 5’1″ frame. These jeans sat easily at my natural waistline – something I can rarely say about jeans. I didn’t feel like I had to keep tugging on them to stay up and remain a true high rise fit. They just felt good.
The Trial
I took these jeans out for a spin recently. I have some jeans that look great but are only wearable for a few hours. I have other jeans that are comfortable for all day wear but are baggy in the waist. These plus size high waist skinny jeans are the true hybrid. They have structure and stretch and they are also comfortable and chic. I wore these jeans all day and these are hands down the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn. I feel like I could wear these on a 12-hour plane trip (flight to Italy anyone?) and still be fine.
The Fit
What makes these jeans different is how they are made. While I don’t necessarily feel the need to minimize or hide my stomach, what Lane Bryant deems “Tighter Tummy” technology is what I believe makes these jeans so comfortable. There’s an internal elastic at the waist as well as side panels. The fit is not constricting in any way. It feels like these jeans really mold and form to your body. These jeans work with you. I waver between a size 20 and a size 22 in jeans. In stretch jeans, I usually wear a 20 and in non-stretch jeans, I wear a 22. In these jeans, I am wearing a 20.
The Styling
The thing about dark wash plus size high waist skinny jeans is that when you find a good pair, it’s very easy to make them a wardrobe staple. Dark wash denim goes with basically everything. If you like to tuck shirts in, high waist jeans like these are the way to go. I never had to worry about my shirt staying tucked in. I added a belt to this look not entirely for the purpose of holding up my jeans. I wore a belt for aesthetic purposes because these jeans truly stayed up on their own. The jeans are the understated hero of this look but there’s no denying that this makes a serious style statement.
