ROADTRIPPER JEANS MADEWELL FULL SIZE

Sometimes you get lucky, I got the green pair for $40 just by being vigilant. First, always check the clearance section! But know that jeans go fast on clearance. There are a couple of ways I’ve saved on cost on Madewell jeans. If you like that, great, but on me, I think it draws attention to the widest part of me in an unflattering way, so I am always on the lookout! Also the 8″ rise is not quite high enough for tucking (but I am 6′ tall so on shorter folks I bet this isn’t a problem). Cost: $128Ĭons: Many of the 8″ pairs have distressing around the hips–even the dark pairs. Pros: This pair definitely screams “classic.” The dark wash is great for teaching.

Cost: $75Ĭons: This pair does get a little baggy in the knees for me due to the stretch. These also ran a full size big for me so I’m wearing the 27. These are stretchy, hence the name, because they are ideal for wearing on long car trips, hiking while still looking cool, etc etc. Pros: Another immensely comfortable pair. I would recommend trying these on in person if you can. I just belt them. I also own this pair in a size 27 now in the high rise boyjean version and those are ALSO too big. This pair is a 28 and they are too big in the waist. Cost: $128Ĭons: I would actually size down in these. These are just slim enough not to look sloppy. Pros: I never had a baggy pair of jeans until these and wasn’t sure how people were ‘pulling off’ the look, but Madewell did all the work on that front for me. I actually would have preferred my normal 28 just for a little more waist breathing room. But when I want to look like I could kill a man, they are the go-to. Cost: $128-138 ( black, blue)Ĭons: Not very comfortable after eating, and I definitely don’t lounge around the house in them. The 10″ rise is my favorite and makes half-tucking in shirts look cool. They are costly but they have really held up over the last 2 years (admittedly this is partially because I started freezing, not washing my jeans, as weird as that sounds!). I never understood how people got “cool” looking skinny jeans, that actually stayed skinny and didn’t get baggy until I purchased this pair.

I have the 10″ high riser, 9″ rise skinny, the ‘roadtripper’ (stretchy), and the slim boy jean. I’m going to go through them one by one and then give some tips for how I saved money on all the pairs (#previewstatement #nevernotdissertating). Here is a pic of all my current Madewell jeans. The answer: depends on what you want! I have the Madewell slim boyjean, the skinny skinny high riser, the road tripper, and the 8″ rise skinny jean, so I thought I would just review them all at once here! So today I’m here to answer the question “should I splurge on Madewell jeans?” which is something I have only done in the last 2 years or so. Then I switched to Gap jeans ($60) and thought they were a lot better, but still not perfect. That meant they cost $25 (pro) but also that they were rarely long enough and usually didn’t fit the way I wanted (con….). Before I started purchasing jeans at Madewell, most of my jeans came from Forever 21.
