Question:
Hi, i'm 15 years old, 5'5 and around 106 pounds (i'm rather small) And it's really hard for me to find jeans that fit the way i like. I like a slim fit, not too tight but i really cant stand loose/straight/baggy at all. My waist is size 28 and i see a lot of denim online i like, but i'm cautious to buy it because in the past even size 28 "slim fit" are really big on me. I have skinny legs i guess. Also i'm more interested in designer/expensive jeans. I don't mean to sound like stuck up or anything but i just find that designer denim is way more attractive and such. Also since i am rather short (5'5) inseams tend to be a problem, i can usually bunch them up on the bottom or cuff them if i Need to but a lot of jeans out there only have a 34+ inseam. If anyone can point me in the direction of nice jeans they think would fit me or have worn themselves and know what kind of situation i'm in i would greatly appreciate it.
Also, to save the time of making another thread- it's rather hard for me to find nice buttoned shirts in my size. I find that JCREW's xs fits pretty good after i wash it and it shrinks but again a lot of the higher quality stuff is just too big.
If anyone can help me i'd appreciate it greatly and although this is my first post i plan to post a lot more on the forum, i'm not just trying to get help and then never come back!
Thanks again.
Answer:
You seem pretty skinny so you could probably pull off the A.P.C. New Cure pretty well. I would size down one or two from your normal waist size, since you're looking for a slim fit that's not super tight. You can get them at the denimbar for $112.00 shipped. I would also check out Nudie, since they have a lot of different cuts that might suit your body type like the slim jim, bootcut ola, or thin finn. If you're looking for something japanese and are able to drop the dough you could always go with a pair of Pure Blue Japan xx-005 jeans, skull 5010xx jeans, or Flathead 310...
Oh, and for fitted shirts I would go with Band of Outsiders or the new Zara slim fit. Band of Outsiders are cut slim in the chest with higher arm holes and are cut short. They run pretty expensive from anywhere between $190-$280, so if you're lookign for something cheaper I'd go with the new zara slim fit shirts.
Answer:
Thank you so much! I'll check all that stuff out and i'm sure it's exactly what i'm looking for, thanks again!
Answer:
Hi FormulaQ,
For someone of your age, I wouldn't plan on really investing tons of money into clothing at the moment. You're in the middle of your growth spurt and what you buy one year probably won't fit you the next.
For jeans, try Uniqlo for some raw denim, and check out H&M for slim-fitting shirts. Else, bring your clothing to a tailor and have them slim down shirts, pants, etc for you.
Answer:
what pinoy said. keep everything cheap.
Answer:
Make sure to pop your denim cherry you have to go with an APC NS or NC and also you need a pair of black raw so you should go with NUDIE SJ or TF. The total $$ for both pairs will be around $300, but you will appreciate them and most definitely worth it. Get with it.
Answer:
Huh?
Answer:
Okay, so i don't know a lot of places online to find denimm, especially the ones that you've all listed. But i saw you mentioned the denim bar so i checked it out and saw those apcs. The inseam is 34 so im a bit worried it will be too long, do you think i'll be able to pull off bunching or cuffing it at my height (5'5).
I think the jeans look alright, i like them and might buy them but i'm still looking around.
Answer:
^^
Turns out you can take your jeans to a tailor and have the inseam reduced!
Answer:
Hm you're right. Well anyways, i saw a few pairs of nudies on revolve clothing i like, i like the thin finn fit and am wondering if i get 28 will it fit thin on me? or will it run large. Because like i said for some reason im just cautious that these jeans are cut for bigger guys like grown men.

That is the particular pair i was looking at.
Answer:
Stick to your size in TF's. The waist will run a little big which is fine as it sits lower on your waist. If you size down you're looking for trouble with your calves; sizing down will make it look like you're wearing tights.
Also, feel free to use the "Ask a Question" thread when you want to ask something new. This way this forum doesn't have 15 new threads a month of people asking generally the same question.

Which ones do you think will fit the nicest on me? Will these all fit significantly different? What will be the tightest? THANKS so much for everything everyone!
Answer:
If you're insistent on nudie, I believe the Long John is the tightest cut they have. But be prepared for a crotch blowout in approx 2 days.
Answer:
C'mon man, age 15 notwithstanding, do you really want to wear a jean labeled "Super Slim Kim"? You don't want to appeal to 70 year old gay pedophiles.
