True story: When I started my freshman year at college I owned exactly 2 pairs of jeans. I hated them (I hated pants in general) but fast forward to now, and I have countless pairs, but only a few beloved ones.
I felt like I never stop searching for that perfect fit, that skin-tight pair that hits right at the ankle and is crazy flattering; well I found them. Through trial and error, I have found what brands and styles work best for my figure (I'm 5'2) and I'm sharing my absolute favorites below.
DITTO'S
Ditto's can be found at Nordstrom and other online retailers. These are skinny's with ankle side-zipper's, and hit right at my ankle. I have a couple pairs of Ditto's since they have trendy styles at great price points.
TREASURE & BOND
T&B is another label found at Nordstrom. I love the way their denim fits and feels on; it isn't stiff or uncomfortable, and keeps it's shape while giving a little bit of stretch in the waist. I have a deconstructed black pair of T&B and am obsessed with them. Also, check out their other products like casual and chic tees and shoes.
ZARA
Most. Comfy. Jeans. Ever. (period) Oh, and if I had a dollar for every time an old person asked, "where is the rest of your pants?" or "did you pay full price for pants that ruined??" I'd be a rich bitch.
BANANA REPUBLIC
No secret I love Banana, but their denim selection is great. These skinny's are actually from their petite section, and fit amazing. Just enough stretch, but no one near a jegging. When going with petite's at BR, I went with my regular size.
LEVI'S
This is my only pair of this brand, but I was so excited at all the choices in length for their styles. these are skinny ankle cropped jeggings with a high waist. The best part is you can get these anywhere in any color and are super affordable.
So I am happy to say that all these years later, I am finally content with my jean closet. I can't imagine spending $200 on a pair of jeans when all these brands I love are much more affordable, especially if they are more of a "trendy" style. If you're a shorty, and need a few suggestions, try my picks, I'm sure you'll love them.
