Jeans. They are one of my least favorite things to shop for, along with swimsuits and bras. So many brands, so many different fits! I know that I’m not alone in my angst. I’m sure that you do what I do when I find a brand of jeans that fits me well–stick with it. I have friends that swear by Joe’s Jeans (they don’t fit me) or True Religion (they don’t fit me). My friend Luxetips loves Hudson Jeans, while I love G-Star Raw. We’ve both tried each other’s brands, but nope, they didn’t work for us. She stayed with Hudson and I stayed with G-Star.
Did you notice that the brands I mentioned are trendy, boutique brands? Luxetips and I, both fashionistas, wouldn’t be caught dead in “mom jeans”. You know the ones: non-descript, ill-fitting, off-color with oddly placed pockets. So honestly we approached the jean table at Getting Gorgeous NYC 2010 with some trepidation. Miraclebody Jeans? Hmm…we hadn’t heard of them, but we were willing to give them a try.
We retreated to a corner, tried on the jeans (stretch leggings for both of us) and instantly fell in love! The dark wash leggings were heavy without being stiff and just tight enough. We felt hip, but still comfortable (these things don’t normally go together) due to the ample amount of spandex in the leggings. We both agreed that we will live in these jeans come fall! The dark wash and quality denim will allow us to wear these jeans dressed up or dressed down. These were not “mom jeans!”
But, here’s the best part: the jeans are made to make you look 10 pounds lighter. The tag on my jeans reads:
Miraclebody by Miraclesuit is handcrafted to shape and firm the body without using bulky linings or girdles. Miracle Body supersoft fabric has twice as much spandex as the averave jean, our exclusive Miratex fabric as triple the holding power as assuring as a beautiful fit as well as a trendy style. Look 10 lbs lighter in 10 seconds.
Now, as awesome as this sounds, I wouldn’t wear them if they didn’t look good. And neither would Luxetips. We’ve got reps to protect LOL!
Here I am, modeling my jeans for the family. Yeah, I could get all sexy with some heels, but I rock Converse on a daily basis, so this is how I’ll be wearing the jeans most of the time.
I am wearing leggings, but there are several different kinds of jeans available. At $88, these jeans are very affordable, but right now Miraclebody is offering my readers 10% off all jeans as well as free shipping and returns from 8/15-9/15. Just enter the code “Take Ten” at checkout.
Look good and feel good, that’s what a good pair jeans ought to do, and Miraclebody does just that.
*Full Disclosure: I received a pair of Miraclebody Jeans as part of Getting Gorgeous NYC 2010, an invite-only event during Blogher 2010 weekend. I was not asked to write this review and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Thanks for the shout out! Girl I LOVE these jeans! You look so good in them. They make me look so HOT. LOL! I wore them my 2nd full day in the airport and I was totally comfy….and I looked good. So many offers to carry my luggage.

Cute!!! My mom suggested I should get some skinny jeans, but with the “junk in the trunk” I was concerned. These might work though. If I normally go a size up in jeans, should I get these a size larger?

No, Dawn, I would get them your true size. My size in jeans vary between 4-6 depending on the brand (more a 6 in Jr./trendy brands, and especially in skinny jeans). Both Luxetips and I tried on a 6, but it was too big; we both ended up with a 4 in the skinny jeans. And I’m comfortable. Usually if I order something online and I’m not sure of the size and the place has a liberal return policy, I order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit.

I love that your mom suggested that you get skinny jeans!

I’m glad that at least you were looking good–hot even!–during that airport ordeal in your Miraclebody Jeans. A bright shining star in airport hell.

Sherrelle,
My biggest concern with jeans is how they make my booty look. So I don’t usually wear jeans because the nicer ones are harder to find for girls with booties, like me. But it might be worth a try.

Corliss, look at the photo; I have a booty!

Good looking out! I too HATE shopping for jeans and had resigned myself to a jean-free existence. But since you, oh fashionable one, have done a trial, perhaps I will venture forth also

Oh no, Kish, no need to live a jean-free existence!

Oh I hate jeans so much because I’ve never been able to find a pair that fit me. I’m big in all the wrong places so I have to piece together two pairs of jeans to fit my body. I jest, but still…I hate jeans.
