For all mankind jeans

4 replies

ChablisLover · 05/04/2012 09:27

so being the denim addict that i am i bought 2 pairs of for all mankind jeans in the brand alley sale recently

They arrived the other day and i have tried them on.

I bought kimmie and roxanne styles

and I am umming and ahhing over them

They are lovely but I am unsure. The Roxanne seems v low cut and says for all mankind for breuninger (a german dept store as per google) The roxanne seems long and the picture on brandalley was a cigarette length trouser (could be my short arse though!)

The kimmie jeans are lovely soft and stretchy.

So, the options are:

  1. Return them
  2. keep them
  3. try them on again (wearing my glasses and in daylight) and make a decision

Please help!

In my experience, if jeans are right then you know and feel comfortable in them straight away. My wardrobe is full of jeans that I desperately wanted to be THE ONES because they were so expensive they just had to be. But most of them aren't quite right and never get worn.

I agree with Flight. When you try jeans on you should feel like you want to wear them right now. My wardrobe is full of "they're lovely but..." jeans & none of them cheap.

ooh but what about the ones that you put on and you think are horribly uncomfortable, and then ten minutes later they suddenly transform themselves into wonders of perfect fit. I have some paige skinnies like that. Ten minutes of wincing and then you see the whole point. OR there are some which you think are rubbish and then you put on a belt and they are wonderful.

brand alley are rubbish with their descriptions/photos imo

Try them again - with heels, with a belt, rolled up - then give up and send them back

An going to try again and then if still undecided I will send back

I agree have a pair if true religion billy bought from America and I hated them to begin with and deemed a waste of money. Kept them and fell slowly in love with them. Wearing them now Grin

So who knows what will come.

Try on in daylight with glasses on and a belt handy and various show types
