NY & Co used to make a jean that I loved, but of course they've discontinued it. Several pairs of those in my closet still. Gloria Vanderbilt is another favorite. IZOD's are ok. Sonoma jeans (I think that's a Kohl's line) are pretty good. A friend loves Vera Wang jeans (also available at Kohl's). I'm ashamed to admit how many pairs of jeans are in my closet. Gain a pound, lose a pound, they fit different........so I kind of wear what I like how it it fits at the moment. I have Lee's Riders, Calvin Kleins,Levi's you name it. I could never buy jeans without trying them on. And I agree with Dotsie -- I've been known to take every pair of a particular jean I like, in my size, into the fitting room and trying them all on so I can buy the one that fits best -- and they will all fit different. Don't want to hassle with shipping them back, if I bought them online and they didn't fit.
