So before I start my review I should probably tell you more about my size, my style and my build. In shirts/tops I wear usually a 22/24 but sometimes an 18/20. In pants I can range anywhere from a 22-26, I'm about 5'8" 1/2, 275 lbs with more of a pear shape, although I do have some on top, most is on bottom. My style is very classic with a twist of trendy. I like pieces that will last more than one season, but also like to mix in fun inexpensive pieces that will come and go.
The above picture I took from Lane Bryant's site (hopefully I will not get on their naughty list for that). I purchased the Distinctly Boot Cut Jeans in 26 Average Red. I know what you are thinking, you said you are pear shaped buy blue! For those of you who have never shopped at Lane Bryant or have never heard of the Right Fit System, there are three different cuts:
Yellow - straight at the hips, Red - slightly curved at the hips, Blue - extremely curvy at the hips
I tried on this style of jeans in a 24 Average in Red and Blue and a 26 Average in Red and Blue. Here are my thoughts on the blue, they are too baggy for me. If they fit my waist there is too much excess hanging in the back and I felt like I got the "Mom Jean" effect. I was trying to find a nice pair of jeans, not just for knocking around the house, but for going out. Something I can dress up with a blazer and a pair of heels or dress down with a cute tee and cute sneakers. The 24 Average in Red barely closed and was way too tight. The 26 Average in Red seemed to fit me perfectly.
I have to say BRAVO to Lane Bryant for their re-release of the Right Fit Jeans. I bought a pair when they had that odd sizing of numbers 1-8 I think it was. I was in between a 5 and 6, and they never fit me as well as I would have liked. I also found their whole right fit numbering system completely confusing. I think they have got it this time! They have several great cuts. I didn't have time to try on all of the cuts, but I look forward to trying on the straight cut jeans. My friend recently bought a pair and she said she loves them.
Have any of you bought or tried on any of the new Right Fit jeans? If so, what did you think?
I hope you found this review helpful, please feel free to ask anything about the jeans and I will gladly answer!
Thanks for reading!
