I’ve had a blast partying with you girls, and I hope you have all had fun too!
I’m sad to see the week end come to an end, but I am happy to say we’ve got one more post and one more giveaway!
Today I’m talking about designer jeans from Nordstrom and giving away a $500 Nordstrom gift card!
I figured it made sense to go out with a bang! 🙂
When Nordstrom asked if I would be interested in talking about designer jeans,
I totally jumped at the chance, and I knew the last day of Birthday Week would be the perfect time.
With fall just around the corner, we all need a pair of jeans that we LOVE, so I thought I would help everybody along in that quest. 🙂
You girls know I’m not typically a designer jeans girl (considering how much I love and adore my Vigoss from the junior’s section that are under $70), but several of you had started to break me down a bit with your e-mails about YOUR “must have” jeans.
And I have to say, I started to get excited about trying some of these jeans out.
Some of you are just about as bossy as I am. And I love it.
One reader (Hi Nicole!) absolutely swears by Citizen jeans.
Hi Sheaffer,
I
know you named your Vigoss jeans a must have, and I love them too. In
fact, I bought 1 pair last year when you first named them, and then another a couple of months later, and I really
do enjoy wearing them. But I want you to try my personal must have
jeans. They are Citizens and you can find them by searching item #873126″.
They are quite a bit more expensive than your jeans, but in my opinion, they are worth it.
I’m a mom of 3 young boys all under 6 (pray for me!), and these stay put with all of my bending and racing throughout a day. They also just look great, are super flattering, and even my hubby is a big fan (he doesn’t care that they are expensive because they make my butt look good! ha!).
I would love to hear your feedback if you get the chance to try them!
Hugs,
Catherine
Another reader (Hi Mallie!) recommends AG jeans and Paige.
Hi PTMT,
I know you love your jeans, but I have some jeans you have to try. I’m a self-proclaimed jean snob (always have been), and for the last several years I’ve been extremely loyal to the AG brand. I have 3 pair, and each pair is phenomenal. They are soft and stretchy, but they also hold their shape very nicely. They are pricey, but worth it. I bought my first pair 3 years ago with Christmas money and just about died spending so much on 1 pair of jeans. I bought a new pair this year and didn’t even blink an eye. Now I know they are worth it and parting with the money didn’t hurt at all this time.
All that being said, my sister is tall and she always wears Paige bootcut jeans and says they are the best.
Thanks,
Mallie
And Rebecca thinks Paige jeans are the be all end all.
Sheaffer,
I’m always taking advice from you, now it’s your turn to take advice from me. I’m a tall girl at 5’10”, and your Vigoss jeans don’t work for me. I have however found a brand that does. Have you ever tried on Paige jeans before? I’m not sure if they would work for you since you are quite a bit shorter than I am, but I have 2 pairs of their boot cut jeans. They are basically the only jeans I wear, and I have 2 pair just so I can have one handy when one is in the wash.
Thought your other tall girl readers might want to know about them!
Keep up the good work, I love your blog.
Rebecca Q.
As you can see, I’m not the only bossy one around here. You girls are pretty persuasive yourselves!
I found myself wanting to at least try some designer jeans.
So it made perfect sense to dedicate a post to my quest.
Today you are going to get to follow along with me on my Designer Jeans hunt.
I tried on A LOT of designer denim. And I do mean A LOT.
However, if I didn’t like the way a pair fit, I’m not taking the time to highlight them.
Along the same lines, even if I liked the jeans, if when I tried to link to them I noticed that the overall reviews weren’t great, I’m not going to show those either.
Jeans shopping can be quite confusing and super time intensive, so I’m not going to waste time talking about jeans that I don’t love. This post is to help you try to decide what pair of designer jeans will work best for you, so I’ve already weeded out the NOs.
Here are the brands I’m going to focus on today:
• AG / • Citizens of Humanity / • Hudson / • J Brand / • Paige
All right, let’s get started!
Citizens of Humanity “Arielle” Ultra Skinny Jeans
Size 27
$218
I really really REALLY liked these jeans. Nice color and fit. I think these would be a great everyday jean. These are the jeans that Nicole talked about above in the first e-mail!
Only 4 reviews, but all 4 of them are 5 star!
fit,makes the figure look great,I am 5.4 and 127lb, the sales lady
recommended 27 for me and they fit me perfectly,I have been looking for
jeans forever ,these fit perfect and have the right amount of stretch.i
can dress them up or just wear them with a casual t shirt and they look
amazing.i think these jeans are worth ever single penny.highly
recommend.
*******************************************************
Rag and Bone The Dre Boyfriend Skinny Jean.
Size 27.
$220
If you like the idea of a boyfriend jean, but never like them when you put them on, give these a chance! They are not fitted, but they are not sloppy either! They are a great boyfriend jean.
usually don’t take the time to submit reviews, but these jeans fit so
well and are so comfortable. If you like a snug fit, buy a size smaller.
These jeans look trendy on women of any age. I would definitely buy
these again.

****************************************************
AG The Stilt Roll Up
There is a non-distressed pair (that I am wearing) and a slightly distressed pair that are both linked.
Size 28
$215
Only 3 reviews, but they are all 5 STAR.
Click HERE.
MUST HAVE shirt HERE, nude flats HERE, earrings HERE, pink quartz necklace HERE
The color was good, they were incredibly comfy, and seemed to have the perfect amount of stretch. The length was great too. I think they look great cuffed (I will probably do a thicker cuff), but they are also skinny enough that they could be tucked into tall boots.
The only thing I’m worried about is if the knees might be too baggy for tall boots.
Click HERE.
*************************************************
AG THE STILT CIGARETTE LEG STRETCH JEAN
Size 27
$225
This was the second pair of AG I tried on, and these are the ones I think I’m going to end up going with. The knee seems more fitted on these, so I think I could cuff them or tuck them into a tall boot with ease.
I ADORE the pocket placement and design on both pairs of AG jeans I tried on.
And I completely agree with the review below, so I thought I would include it.
hesitated at first because of the way they looked in the photo, like a
cropped cuff – I ordered anyway knowing I love AGs and its Nordys so I
could take back if not happy with them. But of course I love them. I am
5’4 and a size 26 and they fall to right below my ankle. My friend who
is 2inches taller than me ordered the 27 and they fell nicely below her
ankle as well; they were not cropped or short on either of us. So don’t
rely on the photo – go ahead and order. You’ll love them.

7 For All Mankind Faded Skinny Ankle Jeans.
Size 27.
Only 4 sizes left (29,30, 31, and 32), but they are 33% OFF for $140.70!
I’m sad that these are sold out in most sizes, because I really REALLY liked this pair.
If they had these in my size still, I would be getting them FOR SURE. If they have them in your size, grab a pair for yourself before they are gone!
Look how cute the pockets are!
Click HERE.
Rag and Bone Zip Detail Skinny Jeans.
Size 27
$253
These are obviously a special jean. Not an everyday jean, but a jean you put on when you want to feel EXTRA sassy. They were stupid flattering. 😉
45/76 5 STAR Reviews
love these jeans not only because they fit great and are very
flattering but also because they are different. I have so many jeans and
these stand out as a special pair. If you are looking for a jean that
you can feel great and trendy you need these jeans. You can dress them
up or down and have that I look good feeling every time you put them on
which doesn’t always happen with jeans. They give you a sense of style
and confidence even with a basic tee. I can’t help but smile every time I
see them in my closet.
One pair linked to is regular length ($189), and one is ankle (and on sale for $113!).
If you are wanting to try out some designer jeans, but you aren’t wanting to spend a fortune, these could be for you!
Studded split back sweater HERE. I was wearing an x-small in the picture, but I needed a small.
Abalone earrings HERE.
*******************************************************
is my first pair of Paige jeans and I don’t know why I waited so long
to make the splurge. I waited till they were on sale, but they are also
worth the money for full price. I am 6 feet tall and a size 28, so often
pants are too short but this is perfect length
in love. Also they don’t lose their shape so fast. A lot of times once
you wear jeans multiiple times (I have worn them on 6 separate
occasions) they stretch out and don’t fit as well. These still fit
awesomely.
Rag and Bone Skinny Stretch Jean (Kensington).
$198
This is a great dark denim. Loved the way these fit. Liked the pockets.
agree with another reviewer that these are the best jeans I’ve ever
bought. I often have trouble with skinny jeans , but these are so
flattering. The stretch is perfect (don’t sag and lose shape like
another pair I recently bought). I typically wear a 28, but the 27s fit
me just right.
Rag & Bone. My girlfriend at work said these are her favorite and I
finally made my way to getting a pair. The only reason they get a 4
instead of a 5 star is that I think I still bought one size too big and
maybe I’m terrible at washing jeans in general, but when I dried them
they felt looser–so weird, right? So, the 4/5 is basically b/c I’m an
idiot. I love these jeans because they fit perfectly in all the right
places, my butt, thighs….all great and the wash is fantastic too,
probably the most popular. I wear jeans to work everyday and have been
for 3 years now, so this is technically “work clothes” for me and these
jeans have surpassed my old favorite–Jbrand Maria–and have taken the
#1 spot as my favorite jeans to wear to work (and play!)

Hudson Crop Ginny Crop Stretch Jeans with Cuff.
Size 27.
The reviews on these babies are FANTASTIC.
48/59 5 STAR REVIEWS.
LOVE these jeans! Pricey but worth every penny. They’re an all year
staple for me. I’ll even wear them in the winter tucked into high boots.
Will buy another pair.
Definitely the lightest denim I tried on, and I liked them!
Or if you are ore interested in a dark denim, click HERE for the Paige Kylie jean in darker colors.

b. ag the stilt roll cuff skinny HERE ($215)
c. paige skyline bootcut HERE ($189)
d. citizens of humanity HERE ($218)
e. hudson ginny crop HERE (on sale for $113.40)
f. rag and bone slim fit boyfriend HERE ($220)
I’m going to go ahead and bite the flipping bullet and just buy a pair already. Trying these jeans on did get me excited, and I definitely realized that as far as denim goes, the whole “you get what you pay for” saying does apply.
I’m thinking of going with one of the AG pair. Specifically, THESE .
The color, the fit, the pocket design, the pocket placement…it’s all good.
If we’re being honest, I kind of have the shakes, but I feel like it’s time…and I’m more than a little excited! I’m a big girl, I can own designer denim if I want to.
A HUGE THANK YOU! to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post (it’s definitely in my Top 10 favorite posts over the last 2 years), and a big ol’ high five to you girls that encouraged me to try all of YOUR must have jeans!
Some of you are seriously passionate about your jeans and are just about as bossy as I am! 🙂
Now, speaking of your passion, I really want everybody sounding off in the comments today.
Do you own designer denim already?
If so, are you a total jean snob (like Mallie above!)?
If you are a designer denim girl, what is your favorite brand and why?
Or maybe you don’t think you will ever spend over $100 on a pair of jeans.
Or maybe you’re like me and you thought you never would…
but now you are convinced to give them a try?!?
Sound off in the comments everybody!
Let’s get a discussion going!
soon anyway, I thought you might want to consider doing it now in order to qualify for this
free gift with purchase that’s
happening right now.
Spend $125 and get the gift below!

I've been thinking I need a new pair of boyfriend jeans. I've never bought designer jeans before, but maybe it's time to take the plunge! Fun post!
Sara says
I LOVE designer denim! Although I admittedly have never paid full price… Thanks to Nordstrom rack and a kind mother in law. No, seriously… She buys us each a pair (at the Rack) every Thanksgiving as part of our Christmas gift. And we get to pick them out and try them on! So, I do love Citizens, and Seven for all Mankind, but my favorite pairs have been Hudson's and Joes! I'm a sucker for soft but stretchy, with a high waist so there is no crack! I think this year I'll fit back into my Seven "Roxanne" jeans (post baby, here) and they probably my number one pair! Okay… Enough blabbering!
Sally G says
I have NEVER bought designer jeans, but if I win I will run right out and get some!!!

Meagan @ The Clanahan Fam says
Honestly, this is why I've never sprung for the Vigoss jeans, even though I listen to everything else you say 🙂 I am a jean snob. Totally admit it. I've tried to buy denim from Gap, The Loft, J Crew, etc – and they all end up just hanging in my closet. My go to pairs are all Citizens. I have them in bootcut, skinny, maternity :), you name it. No, I am not pregnant but I can't seem to part with those jeans. Ha. My favorite from last year was the Citizen "Absolute Leggings". Perfect for wearing with flats or with boots. I seriously can't wait for cooler temps to wear them again.
Erica says
Love your blog! Happy Birthday!!!
Heather says
Ok it's official! You are the "Oprah" of the blog world! Thank you for letting us know your "favorite things"! AG jeans are my favorite too! I bought my first pair last year and I have definitely got my money out of them!

Totally going out to get the Paige jeans! Sheaffer strikes again with stuff I must have 🙂
So excited!!
Katie says
Designer jeans for the win!! I have found that they keep their shape more than my off the rack brands. That being said, I pulled out my must have jeans the other day after not wearing them for a few months, and I had forgotten how much I like them. That being said….my Hudson baby boot jeans are my fave. They are also my husband's favorite. He loves my bum in them! I am on the hunt for the perfect tall boot jeans. Being a shorty…5'0…..often time designer jeans are made for the amazonian woman. My knees hit where the knee isn't in the jean. Baggy knees + tall boots = MAJOR FAIL! Kind of like showing your hiney in leggings. Can I get an AMEN?!
Becky says
Gap jeans is as far as I go for designer. I could use that Nordstrom gift card!
Lisa Rockwell says
I tried on a couple of pairs during the Anniversary sale, but was too chicken to pull the trigger…I'm trying to find ones that don't get saggy and too stretchy. I need to try on more! Thanks for the inspiration!
Erin Byrd says
Thanks for all of the tips on jeans!
Lindsay says
SUCH a fun post!! Thanks for the round-up on so many different brands and styles. I love designer jeans and feel like they are a good thing to actually splurge on b/c they honestly last so dang long. I've had a pair of favorite 7 for All Mankind jeans for about 10 years now and they still look great, seriously. My husband has a couple high end ones that he's had FOREVER and a day b/c it pains him greatly to spend that much money on a single item of clothing BUT the price per wear on those suckers has to be about at a penny at this point!! haha With that being said, I wear mostly jeans from the Gap, have a pair of Vigoss based on your suggestion that I love, and a pair of Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans that I have been living in this summer. Right now I am not at my ideal weight so haven't wanted to invest in a nice pair until I am at a weight that I want to stay at. With that said, I think that the Citizens pair that your reader recommended will be my incentive jeans!
EMC says
I have been wearing COH boot cuts ever since I had kids (6 years) because the mid rise is perfect for bending down and they are flattering. I buy a new pair every year. I also have a pair of Paige skinny's that are mid rise and I buy every year for the exact same reason as COH, except these probably are a little softer. Once you buy a good buy pair of jeans, there's no going back!

I don't currently have any designer jeans, but I do really like Kut From the Kloth, Mavi, and Jag Jeans…Kut is probably my favorite…
Amy Pool says
Love designer jeans. Love AG jeans

Thank you so much for all of your amazing recommendations! Happy Birthday!
Jill R says
This is a great post. I have short legs so it is hard to find a pair that fits correctly. The AG looked great on you….will have to try them.
Lenzen says
I love Hudson and citizen jeans!
KRISTINE PETERSON says
AG are my favorites. I am 5'9" and have found these can be cuffed without being too short.
eshanks says
I have never spent more than $80 on a pair of jeans. This month, I was trying on blouses at Anthropologie and the girls gave me the AG Stevie to try. I was a skeptic till I put them on. I waited a day to buy, but I don't regret it. No saggy bottom, perfect stretch. At $178, I nearly wet myself but I'm a convert now!

Love my AG Jeans!

I love 7's but I also love Miss Me jeans. I'm a tall girl and search for length! Might try the Paige:) thAnks!!!!
Courtney McKinney says
Ok, so I used to be a jeans snob. But then I had three boys and became super frugal. Now my favorite pair are a Vigoss from he Nordies clearance rack! Prior to the cheapness era, I uses to LOVE Paige. They do fit your rear like no other.

Kelsey Jessee says
Ohhhh I want this so bad!!! Being a petite girl, it's so hard to find jeans that FIT, and trying not to have to get them altered…. My favorite jeans were the Loft Petite Modern Skinny (which I still LOVE) but I recently bought the Kut From the Kloth boyfriend jeans, OBSESSED!!! My mother in law swears by the AG cigarette jeans and I've been dying to get them for myself! HBD Pinterest told me to!!!
Megan says
That's a lot of jeans to try on! What a great end to your birthday week!
jessica hughes says
I *LOVE* my three pair of paige skyline jeans…one skyline skinny and two skyline straight–one in dark wash and one in black. Worth the splurge. And I agree, I'm tall and love the length of these!!!

I don't have any designer denim because it's so pricey!! I guess I need to check it out though 🙂

Laura says
Unfortunately I do not thinking will ever be a designer jean girl 🙁 (just too expensive) BUT your blog got me out of buying jeans at American Eagle and into buying jeans at Nordstrom and for that I will forever be thankful 🙂 I know you didn't love Kut jeans, but I have quite large hips and for me they for perfectly!
Kristen Van Ness says

What a great giveaway!
Rachel says
I am a BIG fan of designer denim – I converted a few years ago. That being said I usually only buy them on sale or find them at Nordstrom Rack (lucky for me I live within driving distance of 3!) I also feel like Lucky brand denim that I get at the outlet looks the best on me – weird. My favorites right now are Paige Hidden Hills for a nice bootcut and I picked up a Paige pair during Anniversary sale http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/paige-denim-skyline-ankle-peg-skinny-jeans-dixie-nordstrom-exclusive/3730845?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=298&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_1_B

April Parrish says
Love this post!!! I am always searching for the PERFECT pair of jeans! You totally rocked the first pair, Citizen of Humanity that you featured today…if you didn't purchase those you need to go back and get them. They looked fabulous on you. I will be trying a pair of those on in the very near future!
I love Miss Me jeans with all the bling and another simpler pair is the skinny by BIG STAR.
I agree- you deserve a trophy or something…I hate trying on jeans! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I bought a pair of 7 for all mankind jeans from the girl's section. They were much cheaper and actually fit in length (I am a shortie :).
Meghan says
I love Paige jeans. I'm a designer jeans snob and have owned many other brands such as seven and citizens but love my Paige. I have 4 pair. I have an athletic body so a very muscular lower legs and they fit the best.
Kim says
Thansk for all the giveaways.. Hope i win this last one. Love the Oprah jeans on you.
Katie says
Oh the irony! I finally decided it was time for some post baby jeans and I headed to the rack in search of your beloved must have jeans (we don't have a norstrom close by and I wanted to maximize my nap time since I knew I had to try jeans on). Well I accidentally picked up a pair of citizen jeans that were mixed in and the moment I put them on I was in love. Any jean that makes me forget my new size and accept my pre-baby body is gone is a must have jean for me!! Maybe with $500 I could find a few other staples that would make me feel as good as I do in my new jeans.
Whitney Plunkett says
Ahh I really need some new jeans! And this giveaway is AMAZING! You are AMAZING! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas with us, Sheaffer!!

I live on a budget, so designer jeans are never an option, unless I see them at a garage sale. 🙂
I enjoyed reading this post though.
Ditto That says
The entire post I was thinking how great the AG looked on you…they are definately gonna be rocked by you! I would love to try a pair, but after the Anniversary Sale it will have to wait. Maybe I will check Nordstroms Rack for them at a discount. You never know!
Jennifer B says

I'm thinking maybe the Citizens of Humanity jeans – those look great
Jane says
Trying on jeans is akin to trying on bathing suits – I'd rather have root canal!! But boy oh boy, do I need a new pair, or two, or three……and trying them on at Nordstroms could actually be fun 😉
Meghann says
I have honestly found that high end jeans, I like Citizen and 7, really do fit the best and last a long time 🙂
ame says
I can't really fit into designer jeans…the jeans I love from Nordstrom are usually Kut from the Kloth, CJ Cookie Johnson and Wit and Wisdom bec they usually have bigger waists and are "straighter" from waist to hip vs most brands. They work for a girl with a belly.

I love love love AG jeans! Order a size down because man do they relax! And Paige denim gives great butt! I love the skyline skinny! If you're curvier try the AG Jessie curvy booty, they are awesome!!!! I also love Hudson and level 99! They're worth the expense because they last forever!
Skye says
I've never bought designer jeans & never tried them on in fear I would love them too much. I'm always a Gap Always Skinny fan. But I've wanted designer jeans, but I've never wanted to shell out the money for them. 🙂
Arin says
I want them all?!
Katie Stoneham says
I was also a designer jean (and skinny jean) virgin until earlier this summer when I bought my first pair of Paige Denim skinny jeans – love them! I could use some new jeans for fall and Nordstrom is the best place to buy them!

I have gone back and forth on designer jeans and even bought some middle of the road pairs (e.g. jcrew). I think I'm back on the bandwagon of designers with the mentality that less, good pairs of jeans is more!

I remember laughing at the thought of spending so much on jeans..until I tried on a pair of Paige jeans a few years ago…immediately I was a believer. I'm 5'7" and my go to brands are AG and Paige. Worth every penny!!!
Ashli says
I can't wear jeans to work, and I have two teenagers that are growing too fast, so no jeans over $30 for me. It's hard not to have a clothes budget for me, but one day I'll be able to afford all those great jeans! I'm tall, so the bootcut would be my pick! You look great in every single pair! Seriously, great post!

I LOVE seeing you review products that won't break the bank but look stylish, too. With that being said, I can totally justify the occasional high end denim purchase!

I've always loved designer jeans! Hudsons are my current favorite because they so flattering ams forgiving to my mom body. I'd love to try those AG jeans though, I've heard so many great things about them recently.
Katie says
I love the Citizens! I would love to have those 🙂

Designer Jeans are great! I've had a few pair (citizens and seven), but currently don't own any at the moment since my weight has changed here and there and now they are too big. They are definitely an investment. I'll own some more at some point soon!

Of course I love designer denim! I do try and find them on sale when I can. I want to try on the citizens pairs now that the bossy girl with 3 boys was talking about. I have 3 boys too all under 6 and I know what she's talking about with all the bending/stretching. I hate it when I have to yank up my jeans back on my hips all day long!

I have never bought *truly* designer jeans, but I have been buying Madewell jeans for the last couple of years and I LOVE them. I have received so many compliments on a pair of plain black jeans. Plus they are SO comfortable. A must try if you haven't!
Tyson says
Okay, so I am usually a fairly frugal person. Wait…scratch that. I buy way too much, but it's ALL on sale and for really reasonable prices. 🙂 So I have a crazy collection of well-priced denim that I don't love. If I put them all together, I could probably have bought 3 or 4 really well-made, high-quality jeans! So lesson learned. I just bought a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans during the Anniversary Sale and really love them. So I think it is worth spending more but buying less. Does that make sense? By the way, I am so glad I found your blog! You are precious and funny and full of joy, and it is a really fun thing for me to look forward to reading during the week. 🙂

I have to say the thought of spending $200+ on jeans makes me a bit itchy. However, your reviews definitely make me intrigued. At present, my favorite jeans are from CABI which I buy from a friend who sells CABI. They are $100+ so hitting the designer jean point is not too much higher…

Maybe I'm trying on the wrong jeans, but designer jeans never seem to fit me right. I do swear by White House Black Market jeans though. They are stretchy, flattering, stylish and soooooo comfortable. I introduced them to my 15 year-old daughter, and she had to buy a pair on the spot.
V @ X-tremely V says
I have never been a designer jeans girl. I have friends that swear by them, so I did finally give a pair of Citzens a shot. I didn't like them at all 🙁 I think I will stick with my Vigoss for now 🙂 Unless of course I win the gift card and I might need to try them out again 🙂

I consider the jeans you buy at Buckle stores to be designer…maybe I'm wrong. I've had 2 pairs from there and liked both of them. I don't like that they only carry the smaller sizes in the stores and the larger sizes online. The Buckle stores also offer free hemming when you buy a pair.

I love my sevens jeans, but I always find them on sale. It makes me a little nauseas to think about paying full price for them. I still want to get a pair of the vigoss jeans you love so much, they look so cute on you!

I'm way too intimidated to even try on designer jeans. The thought of even trying on 30 pairs is exhausting! That is dedication. Love all your hard work Shaeffer!
Emily M says
A hundred years ago (pre-children) I bought my very first pair of Joe's Jeans from Saks in New Orleans. (We were on vacation. And vacation money spends easier than other money, don't you know.) My husband almost DIED when he saw the cost. But, I will say, as a big booty, "athletic" thigh girl, they were well worth the money. I wore those jeans until they were threadbare, literally. Then I patched them and continued to wear them because I am classy like that. Since having my boys I haven't found another pair of jeans that compare.
Wansley Griffin says
7 for all mankind fit me the best and I love them!

I NEVER find designer jeans that are long enough for me, so I definitely have to give those Paige jeans a try!
OliviaKyle says
I love all my J Brand jeans, there's really nothing like the perfect pair of jeans!

I've never had designer denim and although I have wanted to have never tried it on either because I was afraid if wanting it! $500 would help with that for sure!

I love my Vigoss jeans you talked me into getting but I have to say I am normally a jeans snob. I have Big Star, Miss Me, 7 and Citizens and they are all worth the price tag! Love your blog!

Martina Gorman says
4 kids in 6 years = slight jelly belly… Hehe… Joes jeans to the rescue. There high enough to hold u in without wearing spanks. Long enough to wear with heels or cuffed with flats. Skinny
Enough to tuck into boots. Oh yeah And lots of lovely colours. Joes jeans all the way….
Susan Jeffries says
I have to admit that I have never owned a pair of designer jeans. I am getting older now and realize that it is worth it to invest in classic staple pieces though. I would love to have a pair. And worse than not having designer jeans, I have never shopped for clothing at Nordstrom! I read your blog all of the time, so I know all about Nordstrom. But the closest one is 90 miles away from us. I have shopped their makeup counter but I need to open the clothing door!! This gift card would be put to good use – a pair of jeans and winter coats for my kiddo and I! Thanks! susan
Nicole says
My favorite jeans are American Eagle high-rise jeggings. 🙂 I might take the plunge and try a designer pair one of these days!
teleana says
Shaeffer, I totally trust your opinion and would love to win the gift card because that is the only way i could ever afford a pair of those jeans. If I win it would be a paid of designer jeans and hunter boots for this girl!!

Sarahbear42 says
I will be honest…I have never bought designer jeans and the statement you said about not buying jeans over $100 – hit it right on the head. I love a bargain, but I always want my clothes to last me! And after seeing these Rag and Bone Zip Detail Skinny Jeans…i am in love!

Happy blog birthday week – it's been fun! And congrats to all of the winners so far! I don't wear designed jeans….I'm just too cheap. And I don't live near a Nordstrom's and feel bad when I have a bunch of pairs shipped to me just to "try" them on. So I normally wear Vigoss as an everyday jean, and then I have a pair of Cowgirl Tuff jeans that I love, love, love! We live on a ranch, and I work in ag, so they're a bit more appropriate for our lifestyle. They're kind of expensive ($100 or so) but the pair I have is so worth it – I look to buy more!
Thanks again for all of the work you put into blogging – it's so fun to read, and really helpful when it comes time to shop! 🙂

I love Paige, and I have actually been able to find a few awesome pairs at Marshall's for cheap!

Chelsea says
I need a new pair of jeans so bad! Since my weight tends to fluctuate I don't spend very much on jeans – usually a pair at Loft, but once I get to a weight I'm happy with I need to invest! Thank you for all of these suggestions. It can be daunting jean shopping so this guide will really help!!!
Megan says
This is causing me to contemplate making my "I'll buy them next season" motto a reality this season!
StacyHudson says
I'm a self-admitted jean snob! My closet has several Hudson and Paige jeans. I just bought a pair of the rag and bone boyfriends at the anniversary sale. I think that you really DO get what you pay for when it comes to jeans (there are exceptions of course). A little tip….when you're looking for some designer jeans, always be sure to make a stop at Nordstrom Rack if you have one available. They always have a TON of jeans and are usually make down substantially! LOVE this post…I'd LOVE the gift card even more. 🙂
Amy McNamara says
I used to live near a Sak's Off Fifth outlet, and wo pairs of Joe's jeans… LOVE THEM. And my husbands name is Joe. It's meant to be. And, I just snagged a pair of Hudson skinny jeans off a consignment site. Mama doesn't pay full price for anything!!!

Paige denim has been my favorite for years!! I love wearing jeans and am definitely jean-snobby, but I can't afford to be too snobby so I will wear whatever fits good and looks cute!!
Karen Ward says
I typically don't do designer jeans or even middle of the road jeans. I don't wear jeans that often (maybe once or twice a week) so I just stick with whatever works from Gap or Old Navy.
Mindy Gray says
I love shopping Nordstrom Rack for designer jeans! Lots of brands, but great prices!!!

I love designer jeans, especially Joe's because they seem to work for tall girls like me!
The Wimmers says
Really want to try the Paige Bootcut Jeans.
The Binder Mom says
I've never paid more than $50 for a pair of jeans for myself! And to think I was going to "splurge" on the Vigoss jeans you keep talking about! Two years ago I decided I was going to go after a pair of designer jeans because I was tired of all the "mom jeans." I even tried on a few pair that I LOVED. But then I couldn't do it. I'm more of a tunic and leggings kind of girl. That's my go-to. And yoga pants. I do plan to buy a new pair of jeans this fall. But I'm fairly certain I won't spend $200. So I think I'm going back to Vigoss!

I live in jeans. You need to try American Eagle. They are the most comfortable and flattering jeans I own and the price is unbelievable. The jeggings look amazing tucked into tall boots and they feel like you are wearing pajamas!!!

I've only owned one pair of designer jeans before, and they were J Brand. I really liked them, but they were purchased during the "low-rise Britney Spears" phase, so obviously they no longer work for this mother of two. I would LOVE to use every bit of that $500 on a couple pairs of fabulous jeans!
Alexi says
You gotta go for the designer jeans! They'll change your life 😉 Hudson & Citizens are my fav. They are more of an investment on the front end, but I think you'll feel like you get your money's worth. I'm a jean lover, so to me it's worth paying more for something I know I'll wear a lot. I hope I win, so many of the pairs you featured are SO cute!

Happy Birthday Week! I'm sad to see it end, but excited for all the greatness coming in year 3 🙂 I was always scared to buy a pair of designer jeans because I didn't think it'd be worth it, but now, they're my go-to kind of jeans. I always get the skinny cut and I swore by my Hudson Jeans (fave is Collette), but now I own more Paige Denim (fave is Verdugo in Mona wash). Even though I'm short, I just seem to gravitate towards Paige. I make sure to take advantage of Nordstrom alterations though! Anyway, thanks for sharing what you tried. I think I'm going to take the plunge with the CoH "Arielle" 🙂 Or maybe Oprah's pick, but those 7s looked cute too…I don't know, we'll see!

I love Paige denim and have two pairs! Last spring I ended up buying Citizens of Humanity white jeans and they were pretty much life changing. 🙂 I also have three-four (can't remember?) pairs of Kut from the Kloth and several Gap pairs too. I'm all over the denim board! My husband's favorite pair (and believe me I've tried high end to mid end to low end and and everything in between) is the Denizen at Target! Score!! More $$$ for my jeans habit. Love your blog and LOVE Nordstroms!
Lisa Dunham says
I love my AG Stilt jeans, have had them for a year and a half, wear them constantly and they still look great, well worth it. I also have a pair of Joe's skinny jeans that I love and a pair of Lucky boot cut that I love. I don't have a huge shopping budget but since I wear them everyday I feel like it's worth it to spend a little more on them.

I buy them on sale only! Have never regretted a purchase.

Hi! Love your posts as always. Is it weird that we have never met and I consider you a friend?! I bought two pairs of Vigoss thanks to you and have recommended them to other friends who love them also! I am kind of a designer jean snob but rarely pay full price. Usually buy a pair during the anniversary sale. But I buy a lot of my designer jeans at Nordstrom Rack. I have bought Joe jeans, Hudson, True Religion and others there. There I a pair of Hudson skinnys that I wanted to buy at $10 but I didn't now they are probably sold out. Thanks for all your hard work on advising us. I know what a pain trying on jeans is and you did it two days! Bless you!

I love this post and that you tried on all those styles. Girl, that's stamina. Jeans shopping for me is drudgery. Far worse than bra or swimsuit shopping. I have heavy thighs and wide hips. Jeans aren't made for girls with thighs. It's pretty frustrating.
My thoughts on designer jeans are… I'm totally willing to invest but I have yet to find a pair that fits my shape. I don't think I'm that off standard. I have an hourglass shape. I've tried at Nordstrom. Those women are saints and they for sure know their stuff. But I left with nothing. I'm willing to try again!
Jessica says
I used to love citizens, but after back to back babies I need to get jeans that fit better!
Amanda says
This is awesome, thanks so much! I shared with friends on facebook and via email!
Lauren Burke says
I really need a new pair of nice jeans and would looove to win! Nordstrom is my absolute fav!
Kim says
I've been thinking it was time for me to bite the bullet and buy a designer pair of jeans myself. I was actually looking through your archives for jeans suggestions last week! I'm a GAP jeans loyalist, so it really pains me to think of paying more than $70 for a pair of jeans. Their Long and Lean jeans are amazing for tall girls with some curves, I've been wearing them for over 10 years!!!!
Kim Marrero says
I am not a designer jean girl…too scared to spend the money….but when I get to my ideal weight I am going to splurge!!# love all the jeans on today's post!

I have about 1/2 Gap jeans and 1/2 "designer." I buy on sale though because holy cow! Rue la la has great denim sales from time to time where you can get Sevens, AG, James, etc. for around $100!
Nicole Lopez says
I own "7 for all Mankind" and "Joes Jeans" and luckily purchased them both on sale for under $100! Otherwise I can't get myself to pay more than $100 for jeans…although I admit they fit soooo much better than any other brand I've owned! Love your blog as well and of course Nordstrom!

HBD! It's been a fun week, and a fun two years.

So funny that you featured this today because I bought those Citizen Jeans on Wednesday. Never thought I'd spend that much in a million years on a pair of jeans. Love them! I also bought some Paige jeans during the anniversary sale (my very first pair of designer jeans and thought they were equally fantastic.
Catherine Hansen Peart says
I love any jeans that just fit good. I don't love paying a huge amount for them but would if they looked really good! I don't own any designer jeans and am definitely not a snob about it. I couldn't care less if they come from Target or Saks, so long as they fit me.

Hmm, don't know if I could actually make the jump to designer jeans. My Lucky Brand jeans fit me well enough. Now if we're talking purses, that's a whole 'nother story!

Love love love this post and glad you are jumping on the jeans band wagon but I will warn you, you will be hooked now! I was always a loyal sevens but have recently bought 2 pairs of Hudson's (one during the anniversary sale) and love those also! Good luck with your new jeans!

I am a recovering designer jean snob. For years and years I would only wear designer denim but over the last 18 months I have been slowly changing my ways. The must-have jeans were a miss for me (I am a little too hippy) but I have really loved the boyfriend and real straight jeans from GAP. That being said, my all-time favorite, would buy every pair if I could are Citizen Ava straight legs and 7FAM A pockets. Jeans are my happy place =)

Rebecognize says
My absolute essential must-have is an awesome pair of designer jeans. If you have even ONE pair that fits you perfectly, you can wear them with anything. I love that most are made in the US, and I always consider that as part of the higher cost. I love AG's, Citizens, and Hudson's. Finding the perfect fit (where they are just a bit too snug and fit just right after a wear or two) is a fine art.

I am also a short girl (5'3") and I have three pairs of the Paige Skyline skinny ANKLE jeans – they are 32" inseam, I think? So, long enough to bunch perfectly with flats, long enough to roll up, and short enough to still wear with boots. I am a pear shape, and they fit me perfectly!

The only time in my life I've worn designer jeans is when I have been pregnant. Joes maternity jeans were lifesavers. I felt so frumpy and not at all like myself when I was pregnant with my first and those jeans instantly perked me up. They've carried me through all my pregnancies and still look great.
That said, on a daily basis I am a super cheap jeans girl. They just look better on me.
Dena A says
I need some new jeans badly, but being 6 feet tall and wearing a 16 is really hard to find quality jeans. All the designer jeans aren't made for my apple waist.

I love Paige and also Joe's jeans! They both are a great fit. I'm only 5'2" (on a good day), and if I buy crop-type jeans, they're the perfect ankle length for me. I just bought a pair of Paige jeans yesterday in this manner. Also, here's a big hint: If you live anywhere in the vicinity of a Nordstrom Rack, you can get all the jeans you posted about for anywhere from $79 to $99. Huge savings!

I've always been too cheap to try a pair of designer jeans, especially since I am so fickle with my love! Haha! That is to say…I have like 20 pair of cheap jeans from places like AE and since I have so many, I never wear a certain pair a whole lot. Maybe it'd be cheaper in the long run to invest in a couple designer pair…hmmm…

I love Paige Denim and Joe's Jeans! Now you've made me want to go look for a new pair!!

Over $100 for a pair jeans seems pricey…. haven't done it yet, but never say never.
I have bought Jag Jeans from Nordy's and been very happy with the fit and price. Found these cute crops on sale.

I love how my 7FAM jeans fit, but not a fan of the wear on the denim. On a hunt for a new pair of fancy jeans!
katk17 says
I have never bought jeans this expensive and after the anniversary sale I will not for awhile… Unless I win!!!
Katie Fitzpatrick says
I am a huge fan of good designer jeans! I believe you get what you pay for. My favorites right now are Rag&Bone and JBrand. However, I have some of every brand highlighted here. You just have to find the ones that fit you best.
weety says
These are a little expensive to me–but I'm thinking of ordering a few and at least trying them on. If I fall in love with one, well…, then I might end up with a new pair of jeans!
Greg & Stacey Martin says
Would love a pair of jeans for fall!
Allison says
Love AG jeans! I have a white pair and a cropped pair from last year. So glad you settled on those!
Rebecca says
Designer jeans are just too expensive for me right now! The few times I've worn your must have Vigoss I've loved them, so I can't wait to wear them with boots all winter long!
Erika says
You do get what you pay for!!

Love AG- you'll be so happy!

I have a love hate relationship with designer denim! Nothing else fits quite right, but that price!! I'm not loyal to one brand necessarily, but LOVE my Paige and Citizens of Humanity that I have. For a good middle ground I've found that I also love Lucky Brand! They run about $100 and I've had great luck with the fit!
Alis says
Would love some new jeans!
Rose-Marie says
I would love to have designer jeans, as I've never even tried them on! I might find some in a consignment shop, but it would be sooo wonderful to try on several new ones and get the ones that make me feel great!

I have such a hard time paying more than $75 for jeans that I am going to sit on the floor with my kids in and play at park. So to this point I am a Gap only jean gal.
Erin nichols says
I'm a teacher and my husband is a pastor and we have 2 kids, so designer jeans aren't exactly in the budget, but if I win the $500 then you better believe I will be investing in a pair 😉

Glad to see you tried Paige….my fav!

Jen | Our Life Accounts says
AG will always be my favorite! I own jbrands, hudsons, joes, paiges, citizens, sevens…none compare to AG! Now defunct brand Martin + Osa used to be my favorite but when they closed up shop I fell in love with AG after trying so many different brands and have never gone back. 🙂

I can't imagine spending that much on jeans! I'd have to win the gift card to ever even consider it!!!

I agree about Paige jeans being great for us tall girls. It is really hard to find jeans, actually any pants, in stores. I usually have to order them online, which is hit or miss, but I've been able to buy Paige jeans off the rack and they look great!

Sherita Grant says
I'm an avid jean lover, but I just can't bring myself to buy designer jeans. I'm afraid that after spending so much money, they still won't fit my pear shape. I'd love to find a brand and fit that would work well on my body type. *fingers crossed*

So, I'm in the "never spent more than $100" club when it comes to jeans. I do have a pair of Hudsons -which I adore – but I got them at Nordstrom Rack for $96. I am super interested to try the AGs as well as the Paige now, though. Oh, mercy!

Love 7 jeans!! Bought two pairs 9 years ago, and they are still my go-to jeans to this day. I've purchased pairs from banana, gap, loft, etc. along the way but hardly ever wear them. 7 jeans are money well spent!

I bought a pair of Joe's 5 years ago when visiting a friend in California (I lived in Kansas at the time). I thought they were awesome. I think I bought them at the Rack or something, but still, the $99 or so was a bit difficult to part with. I ended up getting pregnant soon after with my first child and didnt wear them for nine months. They were a pretty significant boot cut and it didnt take long for them to feel out of style. So that was discouraging. But since then, I've thought what you said – you get what you pay for. I've loved the Vigoss. I'm at stay at home mom who spends lots of time at the park and on the floor – those jeans make me comfortable, put together and not afraid to get dirty! All that to say, I dont feel like they are my best jeans. So last year I bought a pair of Treasure & Bond at Nordstrom for $89 and have LOVED them. LOVED. I just bought a pair of black Citizens on the anniversary sale and am pumped about them. They just feel amazing. Thanks for doing the review and being such a giver! HA!
Katy says
I wanted to get a pair of Hudson jeans during the anniversary sale but they didn't have my size. Love this post!
