For those of you that wear jeans, what is your favorite pair?
My favorites have been those I found at the Thrift Store, Calvin Klein jeans and then I found a pair of French Dressing jeans for a dollar. I especially love how they fit me (and aren't too long :)) so I went online to find them and they were $60.00! Too much for this girl!

I like the fit and movement of Lucky jeans. I can do chores and ride in them once they are no longer at the top of the list for Jeans That Look Presentable! I also have a pair or two from Express that look pretty cute. They are 100% thrift store!! Oh, I have a pair of Levis 518 bootcut that I've been LIVING in for the past 5 yrs- arouind the house and while camping, that is! They showed up mixed in with a bag of hand me down meant for my son. I need to see if I can find another pair somehow. They are getting pretty worn at this point! Mary LD

I have a pair of Ann Taylor Loft jeans that are fitted, but comfortable. Once I wear them once, I hate washing them because I wear them almost everyday! God's Blessings, Megan aka Loretta Rae

I have 2 pairs of Levi's that I got in the junior department when I lost the "baby weight". They become softer and softer each wear. I used to buy American Eagle but they changed their fit to fit "tweens" only, and I don't have time anymore to scour thrifts for a fit with the little one. These are the "go to" jeans :)

A couple of years ago I found two pairs of Petrol jeans at the local western wear store. I love them. The are cut mid-rise and they fit great. They are so soft.

My favorite pair of jeans are my Levi's 505 straight leg jeans. I'm short and the straight legs make me look taller. And less chunky LOL cindy

Mine where Levi 501 men's. That was the only thing that fit. Now it's Rustlers, believe it or not. These are the cheaper version of Levis but they seem more comfortable to me now that I've become a bit more "robust" shall we say. Smiles! Carla

I love the C.E. Schmidt jeans from Tractor Supply. They are heavier weight than "dress" jeans but have a little spandex stretch in them so they are so comfortable to work in! Also, they are under $20 a pair and sometimes on sale for as low as $14.99!!!

I have been thinking about trying the C.E. Schmidt ones from Tractor Supply. Do they make them in mid-rise and are they narrow in the waist. I am very short waisted and really have no waist so most jeans are cut in to far and the pinch. I really have thought about trying them.

The Schmidt jeans from Tractor Supply come in several different styles. I'm not sure about the waist issue, but they have a try-on room, so you could try out the different options if there is a store near you. The ones I get are the boot cut.

Thanks ladies for your input :)
Hmm, we don't have a Tractor Supply but we do have a Big R and a couple of feed stores. I will keep an eye out for those and some of the others mentioned. I dislike trying to find jeans that fit well and look good. Being short doesn't help.

My favorite pair of jeans is a pair of Levi's that I found at a thrift store. I've just about worn them out, so I guess it's time to hunt for a new pair :) !

I am a plus sized women, so I buy my jeans at "The Avenue". They are comfortable and not tight. I got capris for 15.00. They are kind of pricey at 31.00, but it is hard to find ones that are comfortable. So I shelled out for two pair of long. The capris and long shorts are about 15. I always scope out the clearance rack. Plus I got sweaters at Christmas for 5.00 each. They were nice. They have 3/4 length sleeves. So there is lots to find if you look often.

I will have to, sadly, throw away my favorite jeans of all time-Victoria's secret Uplift jeans. I've got the weirdest shaped body EVER. I'm built like a linebacker. I've got everything up top, but, nothing below. I have a somewhat definted (but very high) waist, and NO butt. I mean NONE. The VS uplift really made my hinie look cuter, and they fit me PERFECTLY, and were plenty long. (I'm a size 4-6, and being 5"9 it's hard to find long enough jeans) They never pinched, and they never fell down. They now are riddled with holes that I'll have to patch, but, I'm definitely going to buy another pair. These lasted me 5 years!

I usually like mens jeans. I go to the Goodwill and look for mine...But if I could I would wear overalls all the time. They are so comfortable. Deborah

I usually buy mine at Goodwill. Whatever fits and looks good. My favorite jeans are Riders and most of all Levi's. I have jeans in my closet from size 5-22. I am at a 20 now and my goal is to get back into those 7-9's.I just had my 4th child a year ago, lost 20 lbs,then gained back 25. Now, is that fair?

I do have a tractor supply close to me and plan to buy my jeans there next time I buy if I can find some that fit right. Not having a waist I have to have the mid-rise or they just kill me. My Daughter shops at Value Village and she is a size 20. Usually she is lucky if she can find one pair. The other day she went to look and found 6 pair in her size that actually fit and she paid $20.00 for all six pair. Three of them still had the original tags on them. She was over the moon she was so happy.

Hey Megan,
I just ordered a pair of jeans from Victoria's Secret!! The pencil leg, low rise with a bit of stretch to them. I can't wait to get these!! Great to hear a Farmgirl sister loves her V.S. jeans!

I keep going back to the American Eagle brand. They fit nice and they sure do last. I have had some that are at least 5 to 7 years old and still in style. Worth the money in my book.

I like to wear Lee jeans. Comfortable! I liked the Rider jeans, but something happen lately. They just aren't sturdy like they used to be, and the legs are too wide for me. LOL. Marly
