J brand
As many fashionistas are already familar with J brand, I am writing this review for first-time buyers - like myself. Other jean brands I own are Rich & Skinny (boyfriend and skinny cuts) and before that Joe's Jeans (bootcut). I typically wear size 28.
So, experimenting with trying J brand jeans - after hearing all the "buzz"- the following are my observations:
1. Sizing absolutely varies with jean material, i.e. in the velvet leggings, size up.
2. Sizing sufficiently varies even within a specific style/material, so try on several in the same size before making a decision.
3. RE: low-rise denim leggings: unless the fit is perfect, they tend to slip downward and you will find yourself pulling them up (usually by the belt loops) - a returnable issue. Be prepared to "work them" on.
4. RE: starless wash: great, as I love deep indigo jeans.
5. RE: silhouette with heels: very sexy (not a fan of leggings with flats, and any legging can function to be tucked inside of boots).
Conclusion, I purchased the denim leggings (starless), and the very gorgeous black velvet leggings.
