GAP skinnies

Which are the good ones? There seems to be a lot of subtly different choices. I'm size 10, "hourglass" (pear in denial), quite strong in the thigh.... Anyone any idea if the mythical "skinnies that stay up" can be found amongst this lot?!

I think the ones I get are called "Always Skinny". I'm pear-shaped and they stay up on me. I find the sizing fluctuates a lot though- you have to try on every single pair before you buy as two labelled the same can be quite different.

Hmm, looks like they've changed them, or the name at least. Maybe I just need to order a massive sack of jeans and try them all on.

I'm thinking a slightly higher rise might be better though obviously only works if they go in at the waist!

"Strong in the thigh" Grin - like it, like it.....

Gap are always my go-to jeans - I find the denim is excellent quality and they stay up really well. Best I've had recently were the Resolution skinny jeans - here, but reading the reviews they seem to have stopped making them.

Ffs, why do they change their lines? Isn't that supposed to be the whole bloody point of Gap, that they do a proper range of jeans styles that you can always get? I guess try the "True Skinny" then.

I know, it's irritating, my husband just had the same thing when he went to order his "usual" they've changed but now the new ones have arrived and they look pretty similar to the old ones- so why not keep the name the same?

I nearly gave up on them earlier in the year because their high rise skinnies were so not high rise. I've just tried the super high rise and they are much better, but they seem to be permanently out of stock on their website.

I don't even bother trying to buy them in store.
