I've been wanting to try the Levis Curve ID for some time now... so I popped into a store last week to get measured.
Basically - you can read better and in more details on the website - they're measuring your proportions more than your size and based on that there're 3 main categories... for me, the verdict is Demi Curve.
I tried a couple for different style - they do skinny, straight, bootcut... - and the size was spot on and I bought a pair of straight leg ones.
What I like in a jeans? low waist, bum shape and dark colour.
I love them!!! They feel and fit so good... and they're, also, doing the sale so I got mine for £59 down from £85 and I'm ok with that price for a pair of jeans.
Honestly, where can you get a pair of good jeans for lower? I'm used to buy Diesel, anyway.
I had a couple of pairs from Topshop but they all end up in pieces; I don't know what I did with them but they didn't last me more than a year... and I have some Diesel's ones for 8 years AND they look good! Sorry but I do think you can see the difference.
Sorry for the crappy photo but I'll make sure to post some pictures of me wearing them soon :)
To compensate, I bought a couple of cheap tops ;)
Actually, I saw Essie-Button! wearing these in some youtube videos and I thought they were sooo pretty!
I don't, normally, shop in H&M anymore... simply because their stores, in Glasgow, are always chaos! I can never find what I'm looking for; also, the website is a bit crap (and I do a lot of 'window shopping' online) so I end up never finding what I want in store..
But I don't have an aversion for H&M, I want to be clear, in fact I used to shop there when I was living in Cardiff and I go with my sister in Italy...
Anyway, here is what I got - one was 14something and the other 19something... I like proper-lady blouses with a bit of a edge ;)
I like the pansies print and fake leather collar on this one...
... and I like the pastel mint colour and pearls details on this one...
Have you tried Levi's Curve ID? Do you like them?

I was intrigued by these, I am a demi curve I think (or whichever the biggest curve is! I'm pear shape for sure!) I've bought some short from the GAP outlet which are 'Aubrey' which is the same idea, howeverm I can't find any information online about them but they fit like a dream and I can never usually wear shorts or trousers comfortably.
ReplyDeleteDemi is actually the middle one, average fitting. You should definitely give it a try, I'm loving them. :)
DeleteI have never seen the Gap shorts, they sounds great... I haven't wore some since I was a child!!
Love the peter pan collars! and the jeans look like they would be so flattering, I may have to check them out! XXX

I like Peter pan collars too - Essential for a romantic look. Xx
DeleteThose peter pan collars are so damn cute! Very jealous we dont have a H&M here in AUS.
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know. Definitely a shame... Maybe eBay??!
DeleteLove that last top, gorgeous colour. I very rarely find anything in H&M, I dont like the layout, its almost impossibble to find what you're looking for. Thats how it is in the Belfast ones anyway.

Yeah, same in Glasgow. I can never fin anything, it's a mess. :( x
DeleteI really want to try that ID thing! I love both of your tops, they're so pretty xxx
ReplyDeleteI recommend the jeans, you should take advantage of the sales... and check out the tops, they would totally suit you! :) x
DeleteI love my ID Jeans. very pretty tops, the leather and pansies one is really different!
ReplyDeleteI consider them a great investment, now! :)
DeleteI completely agree, Topshop jeans are rubbish! It's always worth splashing out a little on good quality denim because they do last. I wish there was a Levi's near me, I'd like to try out this method of sizing :) x

it's a shame... maybe House of Fraser... I'm sure they have a concession in it and they will probably be able to measure you :) x
DeleteI definitely think you should spend on good jeans - though my problem is that I change sizes so often I have laods of 'good' pairs of jeans in a 10 and right now don't want to spend on good jeans in a size 12/14 when I'm intending to get back to a 10 :L
ReplyDeleteLove the tops from H&M - I actually love H&M stuff, but totally agree that shopping there in Glasgow is an absolute nightmare!
I totally understand... I got the topshop ones when I was between sizes infact as an 'emergency' pair. x
DeleteI love the sound of the curve jeans, really want to get a pair x
