I can't find ANY jeans that fit my requirements. I feel like crying.
My requirements are as follows:
1. Dark wash - no fadding/deconstruction 2. A cut that doesn't come in at the knee - I like a straight line that will help hide my hips/thighs. 3. Medium rise - nothing too low 4. Long - I have a really long inseam and I need a pair of jeans that I can wear w/ heels Why is this IMPOSSIBLE to find?
I don't know if these are exactly what you're looking for, but I have 2 pairs of Joe's Muse jeans and they are amazing. They have a higher, 8.5" rise, 35.4" inseam, and the Phoenix wash is a really pretty, dark rinse. They aren't totally straight... they kinda have a slight flare or full leg. I'm tall with a long torso and these are by far the best jeans I've ever worn.

HOLY CRAP, yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. How does the sizing run?

Same for me. I am not tall or very curvy, but I do have a booty and I love these jeans so much. Maybe they are universally flattering. The holy grail of denim?

1. The Joe's Lover. It's a looser, but not sloppy, jean - and so comfortable. I practically live in mine on the weekends. The leg is wide - so I think it would be very close to the look you are going for.
2. The Seven Boycut. These are a pretty straight/very moderate bootcut jean. They run true to size. They create the illusion of straight leg, but are much more flattering than a true straight leg can be sometimes.
Thanks ladies. I went to Macy's today and tried on the muse - AWESOME. They do run pretty big..which was nice, cause I felt like I was getting a small size :)
