Straight – I also photographed and review these in 14 and 16 petite Straight – I review these in 14 and 16 petite
I think the styles that I photographed are ones other grown-ass women may be interested in if they are looking for an alternative to skinny jeans but not looking for anything too baggy or trendy. That being said, I still photographed myself wearing nine different pairs of jeans for this Old Navy denim haul. Old Navy Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans – These were so weird looking on me and at the end of the shoot I had no energy to put them back on for comic relief.
Old Navy Mid-Rise Power Slim Straight – These were soooo tight.Curvy OG Straight Cut Hem – The sizing was weird (they were smaller than any other jeans in the same size) and I personally don't love the cut hem (not frayed or distressed) look.Old Navy Curvy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Sky-Hi Straight – Same reason.Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Sky-Hi Straight – I found the OG Straight high enough and these were even higher and didn't look right on my frame.The styles I ordered for this Old Navy denim haul that I did not shoot and why: While I ordered 23 pairs of jeans, I did not have all of them photographed on me. What Jeans I Ordered for this Old Navy Denim Haul
#Old navy rockstar jeans review update#
This spring, light wash denim is a hot trend and I think it's an easy way to update and modernize an existing wardrobe so I focused on that color. I am not looking for jeans that make me look thin or tall, but jeans that are on trend, modern, and different from the skinny jeans already residing in my closet. My hope is seeing my perfectly normal, perfectly lovely 47-year-old body in these jeans will help you narrow down which styles may actually work for you while also normalizing… well normalizing normalness! What I am Looking for in Jeans If we don't see representation of age, shape, and ability in the media, we can't help but think our perfectly normal, perfectly lovely bodies are wrong. If we do see an older model, they are usually quite slim and toned. We only think they're bad because society is obsessed with youth and that's what they primarily feature in the media. I know that even if I wear the same clothing size as that 20-something model, my body isn't the same, doesn't adjust to clothing in the same manner, doesn't hang or lie or rest in the same manner. I am 47 years old, have soft curves that are primarily in my lower belly and rear. I am essentially a pretty average body for a woman from the United States yet I struggle to find retailers that carry sizes that fit my stature and size.Īnd when I do, with a brand like Old Navy, I still don't see myself in the models they choose. For reference, I am 5'3″ tall and am between a 32/14 and 33/16 in jeans. The average woman in the United States is 5'3″ tall and there are plenty of statistics stating 67% of women in this country wear a size 14 or larger. While Old Navy offers their collection up to size 30, they offer Tall and Petite up to size 20. Even without a promotion, Old Navy jeans are less than $60.Īnd unlike most denim brands, Old Navy offers petite jeans larger than a size 10. There was a denim sale, but Old navy regularly has sales and promotions making their already reasonably priced jeans even kinder to the wallet. When I ordered jeans for this Old Navy denim haul, every single pair cost me less than $32. Why I Chose to Do an Old Navy Denim HaulĪt a time when retailers are selling jeans for well over $100 and many $250-$400, Old Navy is a budget-friendly alternative that offers on-trend silhouettes and washes. Loving this inclusivity, I decided to do an Old Navy denim haul ordering 23 pairs of jeans to see if I could find a great pair for spring (and to also showcase some of Old Navy's jeans here and share my thoughts).

I haven't had luck with Old Navy jeans in the past, but the retailer has made a lot of changes in recent years, the best one being they stopped separating plus from Misses and now offer their selections up to size 30. After having no success finding jeans with my Gap denim haul, many members of the Wardrobe Oxygen community suggested I take a look at Old Navy.
