JEANS TRY ON | Postpartum Denim

Holy moly, it’s been a whileee since I’ve shared a fashion post! I have to admit, it took me awhile before I could muster up the courage to try on my pre-pregnancy jeans. Once I did, I instantly knew that I wasn’t going to fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans anytime soon and with winter around the corner, I needed to find a new pair of denim that I could not only look good in, but FEEL good in. Abercrombie has been killing it with the trendy denim over the past few years so I picked up quite a few while they were on sale and wanted to film a try-on.

I ordered 5 pairs to try, not realizing that two of the pairs were the exact same, so I’ll be sharing 4 of them on the try-on. If they had a store locally, I would’ve gone in to try on, but the closest is about an hour and a half away. If you’re interested in any of these, keep an eye out for a sale – they have them often so I personally wouldn’t pay full price. One of them is an AGOLDE dupe too, so keep reading (or watch the try on) to find out!

All of these jeans come in different lengths. I’ve ordered all in regular length, but I’ve specified the sizing, length and wash under each. My body shape is more rectangular, so it’s hard to find jeans that look good with my shape.

Before getting started, I have to talk about my HOLY GRAIL underwear to wear with high rise denim. The Spanx undie-tectable thong. It’s not too tight and is so comfortable, especially post c-section. If you’re not a thong fan, they also have a brief version. Regular underwear cause my pooch to stick out further and it does not make me feel very confident in high-rise denim. Additionally, I’ve found one other more affordable pair that would work well with high-rise denim, but haven’t personally tried them yet. I just ordered them, so I’m sure I’ll share them on IG if I love them!

If you’re curvier, Abercrombie also has a CURVE LOVE line of denim and most of these styles I’m sharing come in the Curve Love line. Since I have more of a rectangular body, the curve love don’t work for me.

DENIM #1: High Rise Mom Jeans – Medium Ripped Wash | Regular Length

These are true to size with a tapered ankle. They have a zipper closure with slight distressing along the bottom hem and distressing on the pocket and both knees. They have a slight stretch to them, but still very sturdy.

DENIM #2: High Rise Dad Jeans – Light Ripped Wash | Regular Length

These are also true to size and have a button up waist, which really helps with flattening the “pooch” area. These are HANDS DOWN an amazing dupe for the AGOLDE 90’s mid-rise loose fit jeans. This is the regular length, but they are longer than the other denim. I like to cuff them with boots, but these would also look so great with white sneakers.

DENIM #3: Ultra High Rise Ankle Straight Jeans – Medium Ripped Wash | Regular Length

So, if you watched the video, you saw that when I tried them on, they didn’t fit at first. But a few days later I tried them on again for an Instagram reel and they fit?! I have no idea what happened, but they fit just like the others, so I would say these are also true to size. They have a zipper closure and flare out a little on the bottom hem. I don’t love the larger tear in. the knee on the right side, but it’s not make or break.

DENIM #4: Ultra High Rise Ankle Straight Jeans – Ripped Medium Wash

You read that right, same jean style as the one before, but different wash (even though it’s a very similar name). These fit true to size, have a zipper closure and a flare out on the bottom hem. I prefer the rip in the knee on this one much better than the other one. These are very flattering.

Those are all 4 pairs of denim. Watch the video below and help me pick from my favorites! I have one that I’m for sure keeping and then it’s a toss up between two others.

Thank you so much for reading and I’m so happy to finally have a post up after a little while. I’m excited to get back in to content creation now that I’m getting a little better handle on motherhood and being home with a baby!
