I just got the NY&Co ones as well and I'd def. reccomend them. They're sold out online, but if you have a store near you, check them out. Everything in-store is 40% off right now too! FYI - they run a size big, so size down if you can find them. HTH.

I also love Express' trouser jeans, however, they don't currently have any in stock- at least not at the Express stores by me.

If you want to get a higher end brand, I love Citizen's of Humanity Faye jeans too!

Level 99 makes a great pair. I bought mine at AllieGirls store in San Diego and they're amazing!My sister tried some on at Anthro and bought them too...i think they flatter almost any body type.

thanks girls! i think i am going to stop by my ny&co on my way home to see if they have them in my size and then possibly invest in some others if i like the style. biggrin

i got a pair of pd&c from anthro - they say that they are high waisted, but really come to a bit below my natural waist - so they aren't exaggerated.

I can recomend quite a few -

Level 99 in the laguna fit (not sure where you live but anthro probably has the biggest selction near you)

Chip and Pepper Arctic fox trouser (awesome fit!)

Express editor Trouser

Paige robertson (modified trouser fit. Between a bootcut and a trouser)

HTH!

I've liked my Ann Taylor trouser jeans. Not that pricey and still office-approved.

My pet peeve has been calling ANY wide-legged, darker wash jeans "trouser jeans." The AT versions have classic details such as slash pockets, back welt pockets, a tab waist with a hook-and-eye closure and a privacy button, etc. They don't look like jeans - no topstitching, no patch pockets, no back yoke, no rivets, etc.
