[BLANKNYC] Skinny Color Jean (size 27) in Deep Blue
First off, the color does not feel like deep blue. It just looks like regular dark denim. I had a hard time capturing it with my camera but I didn't feel like these were a pop of color at all. I ordered up a size from my normal size 26 jean because a) these are skinny and I go up a size in JC Toothpicks and b) I am hanging on to a couple of pounds and am sick of everything feeling like a sausage casing. Grrr...
If you are looking for a skinny jean I think these are cute and reasonably priced. The mid-rise is comfortable and they are skinny without feeling ridiculous. The fabric did feel a little chintzy to me. Not soft, not that thick, slightly itchy if that's possible - but I am pretty sensitive.
The length I loveth. PERFECT. I hate those darn jeans that are too short - like really ankle lenght - not flattering on me. These just had a tiny slouch at the ankle.
Funny little detail on back pocket. Those are actually little raised bumps.
Anyone else try Madewell denim and like it?
I've tried Madewell denim this year and last. Last year, I bought their Bootlegger jeans and they became a favorite (still are). They're very casual with the ripped knee. I tried them this year in a different wash but they fit totally different from the wash I bought last year so those went back. This year, I also bought their Rail Straight jeans and those are my favorites this year. I tried the Rail Straights in 4 different washes and they all fit different. The inconsistency in sizing between washes is really annoying and I returned a lot before I found one I liked. It was worth the trouble because my Madewell jeans are my favorites. The reason I like them may be a reason that others wouldn't, though. I like a very comfortable jean that isn't tight-fitting, and the Madewell styles I bought fit the bill. I have never tried on their skinny jeans. I tried their boyfriend jeans but they weren't great on me.
