I love Banana Republic skinny jeans. IMHO, they have a more flattering butt/pockets than the Gap Long and Leans (used to be my go to). Very comfortable, and a good range of washes
This entire article is why I only buy jeans at the thrift store. For one, I can't fathom the idea that Gap is "inexpensive". For two, no brand or style works the same for everyone. Find a good quality thrift store and you have tons of pairs of varying brands all available in the same place and they're all actual real life inexpensive. I love trying on jeans at the thrift store but I've never once had a good experience trying them on at an outlet, mall or department store.
I absolutely dread jean shopping. It's actually a little better now with stretchy skinny jeans, but it used to be a nightmare for me. My waist is on the smaller side, but my butt, thighs, legs are bigger. If they were a good fit in the legs, they were huge at my waist. The struggle is real.

Find a brand that does Curvy Skinny.. that's where I find the best fix for the issue you describe. Most standard skinny I can't bend my legs cause thighs knees and calfs are stuffed in lol.

For real though, that article is fucking dumb lol. I've never had pockets look that way on my ass because I have a way bigger ass than that woman modeling them. All those tiny pocketed things would break the "ends before the curve of the whatever whatever" rule on me. What an oddly framed perspective on something like jeans.

I've been wearing a "curvy skinny" brand from Old Navy. I don't love them though. Do you have any brands that you love?

Eh I thought the article had a good perspective. Sure it depends on your body type so if you look way different than that chick it wouldn't help you. But, it made me think and now want to try on my gap jeans and take photos of my butt. I suspect I'm fine though since I'm tall and fairly curvy.

I will say even though the other pairs she modeled looked better on her ass they were fugley for the most part. I'd take a wide looking ass over bedazzled pockets any day.

Samesies! I've been not feeling my pre preg jeans anymore and want to update brand/style/wash. Hoping others can point me in a good direction:)

So I had to go look at all the buttons.. the ones I mentioned earlier and called Brand 7 are actually called J Brand. Theyre my favorite evarr. I found a bunch of pairs at Savers (thrift) and they're perfect for my shape, also ultra comfy and never lose their shape. I also wear Refuge (I think Charlotte Ruse? but my friend gave them to me so not sure), Mossimo (Target), and Cello which I found in a random shop in the Bronx.

Okay so what I'm getting from this is that some people care about whether their jeans optimize butt hotness and some people don't. Jeez are we just trying to find things to fight about lately?

carolyngrace for me it was about the way the article was worded.. like "the dreaded mom jean" or whatever. Gateway Mom Jean. It was so over the top to me, and pretty blatently being like "Stop buying those cheap-o jeans that make you look old and ugly.. you need these "designer" jeans so you can look young and sexxayy". I think she looked better in a lot of the Gap and ON ones personally and was reaching pretty hard to make them sound like "OMG the terror!!" Also it was straight bashing the 2 brands that had literally just been posted right before, so it came off a bit better than thou.
