When I find something like, I buy it again and again and again.. and the same applies to denim. I’ll buy it in different washes once I find a style that really works for me.
I’ve` tried a couple pair of Old Navy and other styles of Agolde, Mother and Zara and it comes back to these three styles by Agolde. This brand is pricier, but they hold up incredibly well and don’t stretch out. There’s also some fit and style variation between these styles and the washes that I detail below.
Agolde Riley Jeans
The Agolde Riley jean is a straight leg style and the closest to skinny jeans left in my closet. This style is high rise and cropped. I have a black pair that is super stretchy and a darker wash called frequency that has zero stretch. I’ve had these two pairs for three years and when I first got them I was solid 28 and they both fit tight then and now I’m 25-26 but I still wear these two pairs on repeat as I prefer to have a more loose fitting straight jean. I find this style runs small so I suggest sizing up and these two pair fit so differently since one has stretch and one doesn’t, almost seems like two different styles but nonetheless, two of my most worn pair.
Agolde Low Slung Baggy Jeans
This style is a wide leg midrise denim that I have in four washes. I’ve been leaning towards a lower rise, like a midrise and these are perfect. They’re actually not low slung at all unless you wear them several sizes too big. It took me a while to figure out which size I actually liked on me so I have them in a 25, two 26s and one 27. Up one size in a 26 is what I’ve realized I actually like and these run slightly large.
The washes I own are libertine, paradox (faded black), image (dark blue and this pair is the shortest and actually ankle length and also the smallest size I have) and void (light blue.)
Agolde 90s Pinch
These Agolde jeans feel like a throwback to the 90s and I’m here for it. This style is a heavy weight non-stretch denim with a high rise and relaxed fit. I have three pair in size 25 and 26 and I like how they make my flat butt look. It’s a very flattering cut if you don’t have much junk in your trunk.
