Old Navy Jeans

I am a part of Crowdtap - it is a website that connects brands and consumers. Consumers are rewarded for their time and insights with free product trials (to report on), and money as well.

I was chosen to participate in a sample and share opportunity, for Old Navy Jeans. I received a coupon for one free pair of Old Navy Womens Jeans, and another coupon to share with a friend. I ended up giving the other coupon to my little sister. I don't think she has made it to the store yet, we don't have one around and it's a bit of a drive to get there.

I was able to make it to the store in Augusta, Maine to find a good pair of jeans







The Augusta store was recently remodeled, and I like the new layout. It's clean and organized, and modern too. The Womens Jeans section was directly through the front doors, to the right.

Again, well organized and clean. As you can see, it's easy to find your style, and size as well.I had never tried Old Navy Jeans before. I LOVE Gap pants and jeans (sister store) which are much more pricey. So I was interested to see what Old Navy had to offer, and if they compare.


I tried about 8 pairs , different styles. I tried the sweetheart, the flirt, the dreamer, and a couple of others. I took sizes 10 and 12, because my sizing varies by brand. I quickly discovered after starting to try different ones on that I was a 12 in ON Jean sizing.


I was sort of dreading this, because I have a hard time finding jeans that I feel good and look good in. I have to say, I was pleasantly suprised. Compared to other brands I have tried, these ones really flattered me and fit well. I didn't have the problem I usually have, where they fit in the thighs but are too big in the waist and then have that gap in the back when you go to sit down. My only "problem" was trying to find which style and wash I liked the most.


One thing I didn't like about this pair was the "whiskers"...the lighter stripes in the jeans. They were put there on purpose, as a style thing, but I didn't like it and it wasn't flattering on me.

I ended up choosing...(drumrolllllllll)...

The Slim Flare Jeans in "Rinse", size 12. I like the darker wash, in my opinion, it is slimming. I love the flare, and the material has the perfect amount of stretch. My only suggestion would be to add petite sizing. If you already do, it wasn't offered in the store I shopped at. I will have to shorten them a bit. But other than that, I absolutely love them! I am very pleasantly surprised.
