Express Jeans

Elle · Hermes

I tried them on last week. They fit well, except there was alot of extra fabric in the zipper/crotch/pocket area. Other than that, the length, waist, and washes were all very nice. The ones I tried on actually fit pretty similarly to the new 'Curvy' styles at Gap.

I have long legs and usually i buy lengths that are longer so I can wear them w/heels. Would the Express jeans work w/Pumas or any sneakers? I obviously need the right kind of leg opening so they fall over the sneaker right...how are the new Gap jeans?

have you tried the LUX jeans at urbn? I think they are great for day, and mine had a lot on sale..

I personally don't think that Express jeans or Gap jeans look good with tennis shoes. The opening isn't big enough. Thats just my personal opinion though. One of my friends told me that Express stopped carrying longs....is that true?

I think you're right about the leg openings not being big enough on Express and Gap jeans - so can anyone recommend jeans that are good to wear w/sneakers??

Sarah - I was just at Express this weekend and they still had longs.

I just bought a pair of jeans at Target for $22 and they are very comfortable! They fit with sneakers, nicer shoes, Etc. They are Levi's (and I think they say Strauss Signature) and bootcut. Also Old Navy has some good jeans and pefect for bumming around and weekends!

HTH!

I love my abercrombie jeans with sneakers, but now abercrombie is getting up in price (needlessly!- I am boycotting, its a personal issue). You might like the boyfriend style jeans from AE. They are really relaxed, which is what I believe you are probably looking for.
