Review: AE Skinny Jean (available in 8 colors)

Pastel colored jeans are a big hit this Spring. I own one pair of hot pink jeans and am dying to add some yellow/mint/salmon jeans to my wardrobe. I've always thought pastels were beautiful colors and you basically can match them with anything. I saw these skinny jeans a few weeks ago at American Eagle and fell in love with the pale yellow color.



What I am wearing:
Denim: AE skinny jeans in yellow zest - size 00R
Chambray shirt: Hollister *old* (buy similar)
Belt: H&M (buy similar)
Clutch: Zara leather clutch (buy similar)
Sandals: Target Tawny wedges
Watch: Michael Kors 5128 in rose gold



I have been a fan of American Eagle denim for years, although I don't wear jeans very often. When it comes to sizes, what I love most about American Eagle is that their jeans are dead-on accurate. For skinny jeans, I typically wear a 00S and for straight jeans, I am generally a 00R. My store didn't have my regular size 00S, I walked away with a 00R. The 00 short is also sold out online. I've stalking the site for several weeks and they haven't been back in stock yet. At this point, I am going to keep the 00R have them hemmed.



What I love about these denim is the fit. They fit me everywhere except the length. If I can find a 00S, these jeans would be perfect. There is no waist gap at all. I also love the thick material. I do not like light-weight jeans. The material feels very durable, yet very soft when I first tried them on. They also did not shrink too much after washed. Overall, these jeans fit very comfortably. Measurements for a size 00R (laying flat): Waist = 12.5" and length = 33"


If you’re looking for new denim, pick up some of these colorful options and you will fit right in this season. Colored denim also works well with color-blocking - this seasons’s other big trend. They're available in 8 colors so there's certainly something for everyone. American Eagle offers free shipping on your entire order with no minimum purchase required (code 73892041 - ends tonight)

Readers, are you into the pastel trend this season?

These look great on you Sydney! I think I'm going to get a pair of the Teaberry Pink ones. These look like they would fit me better than the jeggings. I ordered a pair of the AE jeggings in a 0R and could barely get them up past my thighs for some reason.

Your new bob hairstyle is edgy while still being cute. Also, Sydney... this is a very nice look for you. Good combination of this color jeans along with the chambray shirt. Nice sandals as well.

That is such a gorgeous shade of yellow! I've been looking at coral and mint jeans but am trying to limit spending while on maternity leave :)

I read your post this morning and ran out to buy the yellow jeans. They fit beautifully! I am a size 26 waist and the size 2's were perfect. The 33" length is long but when you fold them under, they are absolutely fine. I like them so much that I am having another store hold the rose colored ones for me and will pick them up tonight. I never even considered buying anything from AE but the jeans look and feel beautiful. Thanks for the tip (and your hair is fab).

I should check their jeans, last time I purchased a pair from them was in college! I been loving all the fun colored jeans this spring!

Sydney's Fashion Diary said...

@Anonymous I am glad these jeans worked out for you. I am thinking about keeping the original hem too. I can either fold them under or roll them up for a casual look =)

lisacng said...

@PetiteLittleGirl I thought you pulled it back too! I saw the post on the haircut. Very chic.

Tiffany said...

LOVE the yellow jeans on you! Hmmm I like this color better than the Gap ones that I tried on, I may give these a try. Thanks for the review!

Nice outfit! It's perfect for the season. I've actually been stalking the AE website for the light pink color. I saw my size in stock one day about three weeks ago but hesitated. Waited a day or two and went back and it was sold out :(
