Okay, so I saw this “PureWow100” thing for jeans and thought, why not give it a shot? I’m always on the lookout for comfy, good-looking jeans, and this felt like a fun little experiment.
First Impressions
First, I went through their list. It was a whole bunch of different styles and brands. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming! I tried to narrow it down based on what I usually like – you know, nothing too crazy, just simple, well-fitting jeans that I can wear every day. High-waisted, straight leg, and a dark wash are my go-to’s.
I picked out a few pairs that seemed promising. They had some popular brands, but also a couple I’d never heard of before. I figured, hey, might as well be adventurous, right? So I took notes about the best ones for my body type, and for specific needs, like best curvy fit or best flare.
Trying Them On
The real test, of course, was trying them on. Some of them were surprisingly good! There was this one pair from a brand I’d never heard of before, and they fit like a glove. Super comfortable, and they made my butt look amazing, haha. I was pretty impressed.
But there were also some duds. One pair was way too tight in the thighs, even though the waist fit perfectly. Another one was just… weird. The cut was all wrong, and the fabric felt cheap. Definitely not worth the hype.
- First pair: Tried a high-waisted, skinny fit. Felt great, a bit tight.
- Second pair: Opted for a relaxed, boyfriend style. Super comfy but a bit too baggy for my liking.
- Third pair: Tested a straight-leg, dark wash pair. Perfect fit, felt comfortable, and looked stylish.
- Fourth pair: Went for a bootcut style. Surprisingly flattering, might wear these more often.
- Fifth pair: Tried a pair of stretchy jeggings. Comfortable for lounging, but not for going out.
- Sixth pair: Tested a wide-leg pair. Loved the look, but they were a bit too long.
- Seventh pair: Experimented with a pair of distressed jeans. Cool vibe, but not my usual style.
- Eighth pair: Tried on a pair of mom jeans. Surprisingly comfortable and on-trend.
- Ninth pair: Tried on a slim-fit pair, they felt a little too constricting around the calves.
- Tenth pair: Finally, I tried a flare pair. They were fun and made a statement.
Final Thoughts
All in all, it was a fun experience. I found a new brand that I really like, and I got to try out some styles I wouldn’t normally go for. I think the “PureWow100” list is a good starting point if you’re looking for new jeans, but don’t take it as gospel. Everyone’s body is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. It was super fun to do it, and document it all. I mean, I spent hours doing this, and I am happy with the ones that look great on me.
My advice? Don’t be afraid to try new things, but also, trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s probably not for you. And most importantly, have fun with it! It’s just jeans, after all.
