Curvy girls- Where to get colored skinnies?

[cransplash]

I am looking for some colored skinny jeans. I have a curvy shape, and definitely thicker calves (read: I need wide calf boots).

I have a pair of ON skinny jeans (from 2 years ago), but they really don't do look good on me so I always make sure to have my butt area covered with a longer cardi.

I tried on the Rockstar super Skinny Jeans at ON and I had to go up 2 sizes and the calf area was super tight- definitely a no go. I know the Rockstar (the non super skinny jeans) are on pre-order, but I just don't think ON and Gap jeans are flattering on me. Loft pants aren't great either (so I'm venturing to say the pants at AT won't fit me well either).

I don't want to pay $$ on them since they're colored and not my main jeans.

Can someone recommend some places to go for colored skinnies that are affordable (x<$100) and for curvy body types?

cran, the ON & Gap jeans don't fit me either. I've had luck at Marshall's and F21. I hate to spend too much $ on colored skinnies because I never know how much I'll wear them and those 2 places have options that fit me and are under $20.

F21? No way, I didn't think they had my size. Since it's a junior's store, do you go up a (few?) sizes?

I normally wear a size 4 but a lot of times with skinnies, my ass & thighs won't fit into them so I have to size up in other stores, leaving a giant gap in the back.
I don't have this issue w/ F21 and fit into a size 27. And for $10.90 you really can't go wrong.

Yup that is me too. Darn, was just at the mall yesterday. Do you know what color skinnies they have? $10.90 is a steal!

I got my blue ones from H&M but there's that finding your size issue.. I grabbed 6 and 8 and 8 fit me. Loft has two fits..the recent capri's I got from there are curvy fit. But you won't find their jeans for $10.90 though the quality will be much better. Though I do not know if Loft sells every pants/jeans in curvy fit. Sorry if that's no help.

ETA: Loft has a lot of colored skinny jeans in petite curvy:

$24.90 is still a great price. I'm like you where I'd prefer not to spend a lot of money since I don't know how much I'd wear them. I'll have to check these out.
Thanks Nata!

Just chiming in to say I love both of those outfits natariru!!

Also, I believe Cab is a F21 jeans junkie too, so it looks like its a good bet to try there!

Nata, I love both outfits, and especially the deep red skinnies!

Kohl's has them in juniors section too for $17 or 19 too. But I think renata pointed out the whiskering so I didn't get them. But I am really liking this DF one! Its perfect for fall! $28.80

I have the same issues - smaller waist, big butt and thighs, muscular (ha!) calves. I have gotten 2 pair from TJMaxx, one from Target, and one from Nordstrom.

I see that target has them in every color. Not just juniors ive seen them in the womens side which is a better fit for us curvier gals.

[monsterellachz]

I bought some blue essence brand jeans from nordstroms and really like the fit. I have a big butt and thighs. I got a size 2 and wear a 27 pant. They also have a bit of a higher rise which I like because I have a bit of a pooch. I bought black, so paying a bit more for a good fit was worth it to me.

[Doggy Mommy]

Nordtrom Rack had some at the beginning of summer. They might still have some. I am definitely on the bigger side (nowhere near a size 2-4 lol), and the fit is good!

[NachoProblem]

I tried a pair of the mossimo ones on at target the other day... I had to size up quite a bit ::gulp:: but I don't think they looked bad! I'm going to pick a pair up today. FWIW, I'm usually a 28 in J crew jeans (or Joe's or 7FAMs) and the 11 fit me great. The 9 gave me a major wedgie haha

I tried on a pair at Target the other day, and I had to get a size 9 but the calves were soooo tight on me

I just came back from Target. They don't have any petite size in my store to begin with. But I tried the Mossimo curvy skinny in 2 and while my butt fit fine the waist was too loose. And I didn't see anything smaller than a 2.

I went to Kohl's to try this on but while my local store has DF, they don't have any DF petites! :@ I ordered it from the store so at least I got free shipping + 15% off. I hope I don't have to return them.

Target online has more of a selection i think

With skinnies, I feel like I really need to try them on b/c I just don't know if my regular size will fit b/c my ass and thighs are just not proportionate to my waist. I will definitely check out my Target again though!

[pooh8402]

I gave up on the Target skinnies since I tried on up to a size 11 (I normally wear a 5 in juniors at Target), and the calves were still way too tight. and I have skinny calves. and the waist was HUGE; I was going to have to get them taken in at the waist at that point. not worth it.

[emyinpink]

I like mine from AE Outfitters (I have these blue ones www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=0436_7788_474&catId=cat1990002, they also have a bunch of other colors www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=0436_7619_672&catId=cat1990002). I also have pink Joe's skinnies that I got on sale, but are no longer available shop.nordstrom.com/s/joes-skinny-stretch-jeans-fuchsia/3219933.

[FormerCityGirl]

Cran, do you have Meijer's? They have Massini skinnies in red and cobalt for $24 a pair. They are considered straight legs, but have a more fitted calf than a boot and less fitted than a skinny. I have 2 pairs of their jeans that I've worn constantly and they are much better quality than ON and Kohl's. They're on par with Kohl's R&R jeans.
ETA:They also have eggplant, teal, and a deep red in a different brand that looked promising. They were somewhere between denim and twill.

Thanks for all the recs- I've added them to my list of places to try

[monsterellachz]

FYI Nordstroms has some blue essence on sale ($49).

You also might want to try Loft. I know that they carry some colors in their curvy jeans and I think they might be on sale right now.
