skinny jeans trouble

Metric · Gucci

Yes I'm usually between a 4-6 and I buy the Gap 4's because they stretch so much

gossipgirl · Dooney & Bourke

I buy the tightest jeans possible.... just for this reason

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

Thanks. I am just going to have to start buying them tight. When they are tight they make me feel fat, but I guess that is better than them looking baggy. biggrin

I like F21 skinnies. I buy them just a smidge tight. For some reason, some seem to get baggy after a while but others don't. So it's hard to decide which size to buy.

Boots · Gucci

I have some F21 skinnies and some fit better than others on me. I always have to try them on. I usually get my regular size (27) when they fit tight but not suffocating. Some of the 27s though are too large in the butt for me. The really cheap jeans (the ones for $12-$14) usually fit me the worst. I think like everything at F21, it's hit or miss. I'm usually a 4 in most stores so I think either a 27 or 28 would fit you.

Specifically, there is a jean there right now with zippers on the ankles that fits me really well. Not too much spandex and they are keeping their shape all day. Not sure how the zippers are going to feel under boots yet (I've been wearing them with flats so far.)

I've also found that sticking the jeans in the dryer between wearings snaps them back to shape.
