The Charlie High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans

I owned a pair of the Charlie Ankle Flawless Black already, which I had purchased a few years ago. I was very excited to see that it is still being made and sold, but sadly, this is not the same. The composition of the denimn has changed, which had in my opinion a negative affect of the feel of the pants (they felt a lot smoother in the past and attracted less fuss). They also changed stitching on it: in the past the waistband did not have any stitching along the top of the waistband, which a lovely design feature, and I think, it just made the wear much more comfortable. Having said all of this: while this may be a nice pair of pants, they are not the same as prior makes of the same model and shouldn't be sold under the same name. They feel very much like any other pair of black jeans now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have The Charlie in black and am happy (enough) with it so I ordered these. The fit is the same and the dark wash is great, but I am having difficulty with wearing skinny ankle jeans with boots - they just don't hit right given the style of boot I have to wear with skinny legs and narrow feet - so I am returning them. I think I'm going to have to transition to boot cut and Joe's finally is offering a high rise boot cut. Goodbye skinnys - it's been grand!
