Abercrombie Jeans Reviews

Abercrombie Denim Sizing

Abercrombie denim fits true to size. Whatever size you are in other denim brands will most likely be your size with Abercrombie. For the lengths, I’m 5’5″ and the regular length is just right for me. If you are few inches taller than that, I would recommend the longer length.

One of the best things about Abercrombie denim is their curve love option. Almost every cut they make comes in a curve love version. Curve love gives an extra 2″ through the hip and thigh. This option is great for anyone with a more hourglass figure and needs that extra room to have a perfect fit. If you have ever had to size up because of your hips but then have a gap at your waist, the curve love option is made for you! All three of the cuts I mention below come in this option.

90’s Straight Jean

This is the jean I recommend to everyone! It is a great fitting straight jean. It looks good on everyone and is the perfect jean for anyone that wants to a straight cut. Straight or wide leg denim is alot fresher and more in style than skinny jeans. This fair won’t feel too out there for anyone that has been only wearing skinny jeans the last few years.

This straight jean is flattering because it is fitted around the butt and waist before the leg goes straight. Once it hits the lower thigh area it then is a straight cut down to the bottom. It comes in several washes and distressed levels.

Super Skinny Ankle Jean

While straight cut denim is definitely the most modern, there is still a place in your wardrobe for skinny jean. It is all about how you style them. These skinny jeans fit like a glove and are form fitting in all the right places. Abercrombie’s skinny jeans is a classic cut.

High Rise Dad Jean

This is the most relaxed style of denim I have worn in a long time. It has a high rise with a relaxed fit throughout the whole jean. The leg is straight and relaxed as well. These are really comfortable jeans that while relaxed, still look polished as well.

To balance the relaxed fit, I like

My favorite way to wear blazers is with jeans. I like the mixture of dressy and casual items and how easy it can be to put together. It is a way to dress up so many of your items and give them a new life. T-shirts can be dressed up and when paired with a blazer. I wear this combo to work a lot but that is only the beginning. Brunch, dinner, date night, drinks with friends… there are so many blazer and jean outfit combinations that can be created and worn for almost any occasion.

How to Style a Blazer with Jeans

Blazers and jeans are a simple combination but there a few things to keep in mind when styling a blazer with jeans. With these basic guidelines and ideas, you’ll be set to create a ton of blazer and jean outfits. Don’t be afraid to think outside the typical neutral colors. While they are classic for a reason, navy and black blazers aren’t your only options to pair with jeans. I base the type of jeans on two factors: the fit of my blazer and the occasion I’m dressing for. 

Blazer Fit

I like to find a balance between my blazers and denim. Although almost any blazer can be styled with jeans, the style I most often wear is the boyfriend fit. This blazer style is a bit oversized and longer. To balance the look I like to stick with a skinny or straight leg jean. It keeps everything refined and compliments the blazer. 

Fitted blazers look great with any fit of denim. They will look really streamlined with a straight or skinny fit. If you like wide leg or boyfriend cut jeans, fitted blazers can look great paired with them. This look also creates a trendy silhouette. 

Occasion

The dressier the event, the darker, more professional the wash of my jeans will be. For work or nicer events, I choose darker wash jeans. Dark blue and even black jeans look really classy and chic. They look more professional and put together and lend themselves to a fancier vibe.

When I don’t need to look as professional I will wear lighter washed jeans. Lighter washes dress down the blazer and will make your look feel more relaxed. They lend themselves to more casual shoes as well. But this is all a guide, you can truly mix and match as you please!

Blazer and Denim with a T-shirt

Denim – Custom Blazer – T-shirt – Heels

When coming up with blazer and jeans outfit ideas one of the easiest combinations is a white t-shirt. A great fitting t-shirt isn’t too casual for a blazer. In fact, I love the mixture of casual and dressy items. A slim fit t-shirt is the most flattering, no matter what style of blazer you choose. Like in the pic above, I love the simplicity and chicness of this combination. I chose a blush blazer and light denim for my version. Add a pair of heels and you have a casual work or happy hour outfit. I like the simplicity of a some gold jewelry and a chic handbag. To take it more casual, switch out the heels for a trendy sneaker.

This combination works on all it’s own but can a palette for some statement accessories. A bold shoe, earring, necklace or even lip color can transform the outfit and make it bold. You can showcase a favorite accessory.

Another way to switch up this combination is to make it dark! Take some dark wash or black denim and pair it with an equally dark blazer. Keep the shirt white or made it dark too. A band tee or some other novelty t-shirt would be cute too! Basically there are a ton of combinations you can create with this simple formula.

Blazer with Distressed Denim

Blazer – Jeans – Purse – Heels

With all the different blazer and jeans outfits, distressed denim typically doesn’t come to mind. This is the ultimate high and low end mix and takes a bit of thought when putting it together. The biggest tip is to keep all other parts of your outfit polished. What this doesn’t mean is that they have be be dressy. The items should fit well and not be oversized or distressed as well. Another tip is to keep the distressed denim to skinny or straight leg jeans. These cuts are both ones that fit well and are more put together. So they offset the distressed aspect of the denim.

Distressed denim is not office appropriate but there are still plenty of occasions to wear this combination: drinks or dinner with friends, date night and brunch. To take the look into summer style with a heeled sandal like any of these.

I’ve been in the need of a new pair of jeans, so I took this opportunity to try a bunch of different styles and top denim brands. I read all the fit guides to find great ones to try. As I was creating this denim style guide, I asked for some suggestions on Instagram and took the top recommendations. I ordered So. Many. Pairs! Seriously, my bedroom currently looks like a store! I found some great pairs and broke it all down below. I gave the specifics on each pair and my opinion. When I shopped for denim I did focus on skinny jeans but not exclusively. I also tried some boyfriends jeans and straight slim legs.

For reference, I’m currently a size 29. I have a relatively short waist and longer legs and a fairly straight figure in regards to my waist in relation to my hips/thighs. For my body shape, I typically like denim that has a slim leg. Skinny jeans make up the majority of my denim but I have some straight leg pairs too. I reference some “curvy” cuts below and those are great cuts for those with an hourglass figure. While they don’t work for me, I kept them in this guide because I know many of you will love them! I want to provide different denim styles for different body types.

Denim Style Guide Under $100

Abercrombie

If you are close to my age, hearing the word Abercrombie may give you flash backs to High School and low rise jeans with a short logo t-shirt. Well Abercrombie has come a long way and in the last year is one of my favorite places for denim. They completely redone their denim. They have great cuts and really good quality. Almost all of the jeans are under $100 and they have frequent sales. I also love the amount of washes each cut comes in. You really can find the perfect pair.

One of their best new cuts is the Curve Love, which is about the waist and butt area of the denim. These jeans are made for hour glass body types. Their fit guide shows they are cut to fit the difference in the thigh/butt area and your waist. Curve Love helps eliminate the gap at the waistband that a curvy body type can struggle with. This cut comes in different leg options too. So you can have Curve Love skinny Jeans, Curve Love straight leg, etc!

Zara

On a whim I decided to order some Zara jeans just to see what they are like. All 3 pairs I ordered were under $50! These are by far the most affordable pairs in this denim style guide. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of them, especially for the price. They all felt great and way more expensive than they were. Zara would be a great place to try out a style or wash that you don’t typically do. I like trying a less expensive version of a trend to see if I really like it on me.

Levi’s

Levi’s typically comes to my mind when denim is mentioned but I haven’t tried on a pair of them in years. They are classic jeans with great quality, so you will have them in your closet forever. Except for the few styles that have “stretch” in the name, Levi’s have little to no stretch. When buying a pair you want them to fit snug because they will stretch as you wear them more. I will admit, some Levi’s are over $100 but most aren’t.

The two most classic Levi’s styles are the Wedgie and 501. While they are both high rise styles, the 501 has a slightly higher rise. The wedgie is also better for a curvier body. The waistband is a bit more fitted so it helps with the gap at the waist.

Denim Style Guide Over $100

Madewell

I have been recommending Madewell denim for years! If you look thru my outfit pics over the last few years, most of the time I am wearing Madewell (see here). I have lived in there classic Skinny Jean for quite awhile. I have 3 pairs: a medium wash, a distressed pair and a black pair. So I can also say that they last! What I really love about their denim is that many of the cuts come in several rises which helps fit all different body shapes. The 9″ is a mid rise on most people and the 10″ & 11″ are a high rise. While there are many Madewell styles under $100, my favorite pairs aren’t so I included the brand in this section.

Like Abercrombie, Madewell has a version of their jeans for different figures. The classic styles are best for a straight or athletic body shapes. For an hourglass shaped body, the Curvy versions of their cuts will fit perfectly. They have a contoured waistband, more fabric for your booty and a little more room in the hips and thighs.

Agolde

I’ve heard so much about Agolde and how great their denim is. They have a ton of styles and cuts I think everyone can find a great pair that they love for their body shape. Most pairs have a fair amount of stretch. This brand is pretty expensive but I do think you get a great quality pair of denim. If you find the right cut and wash, Agolde are a great investment in your wardrobe.

Other Denim Styles I Loved

While shopping, I looked for a few other brands and fits to try beyond the brands I knew I wanted to try from my suggestions on Instagram. I’ve heard a lot about Good American and everyone that has tried it has raved about the brand. I knew I wanted to try at least one pair to include in this denim style guide. They are supposed to fit lots of body shapes. Their fit guides say they’ll fit even if you go up or down a size. After trying a pair, I see how that’s possible. They have a ton of stretch and it conforms to your body. The waist actually sculpts you a bit and made my stomach look flatter while still being comfortable.

Frame is a denim brand that is commonly recommend and I have had several pairs of their denim thru the years. The brand makes great jeans that will last and do hold their shape thru many washes.

Each new season I think we all want to refresh our wardrobe. This doesn’t require a whole new closet, many times just a few new pieces will do the trick! Focus on only adding items you love that integrate with what you currently own. Buy pieces that you like and not just because they are new and trendy. There are plenty of trends that I love but so many that just aren’t my style. I also like to remember to buy classic items too. Then you’ll create a wardrobe you love but still feels current.

Spring Top Styles

There is something about chambray tops and white jeans that will always feel fresh to me. So I had to include a couple options in any round up of spring tops. I wear my white jeans year round but I wear them weekly during the warmer months. I even bought a distressed pair this year (see here). This chambray faux wrap top is on the top of my list to purchase and wear with white denim. I love how the flowy sleeves and ruffles make such a statement.

Smocking is everywhere! I’ve seen it on tops, dresses, skirts and accessories. I think part of the reason it is currently so trendy is how comfortable it is. After the last year of wearing sweats and athleisure we don’t want to lose the comfort factor when we actually do dress up. This black smocked top will look beautiful dressed up. Personally, I want to wear it with distressed jean shorts and these sandals. I like the mixture of dressy and casual.
