Listen up, my fellow short queens! If you’ve ever stood in a dressing room, drowning in a pair of jeans that could double as parachute pants, you know the struggle is real. Finding jeans that fit when you’re petite is like trying to find a unicorn—seemingly impossible and potentially disappointing. But hold onto your hemlines, because I might just have found the holy grail of petite-friendly jeans. Keep reading for an Abercrombie Curve Love Jeans review.
In this review, I’m spilling all the tea on how these jeans stack up for us vertically challenged ladies. Are they actually curve-friendly? Can they handle my 4′ 11.5″ frame (yes, that half inch matters) without making me look like I’m playing dress-up in my big sister’s closet? And most importantly, are they worth shelling out your hard-earned cash?
Grab a cup of coffee (or wine, no judgment here), and let’s talk about jeans that might actually fit our petite curves!
Abercrombie Petite Vs Regular
Let’s talk about Abercrombie petite vs regular sizing. One of the things I love about Abercrombie is that they offer short, regular, and tall inseams in almost all of their styles. As someone who isn’t five feet tall, you’d think I’d be all about that short inseam life. And sometimes, I am! But here’s a little secret from my Abercrombie jeans review: I often opt for the regular length. Why? Because your girl loves her some height-boosting shoes. Wedges, platforms, heels—you name it, I’m probably teetering around in them. The regular length gives me that extra bit of fabric to work with when I’m channeling my inner glamazon.
Now, if I’m feeling more of a casual, ankle-grazing vibe, I’ve got a little hack for you. Instead of going for the short length, I’ll grab my trusty fabric scissors (these ones are my ride-or-die) and give those regular jeans a little DIY chop. After a quick wash, they’ve got that perfectly frayed edge that looks like I paid extra for it. Sneaky, right? In all the pictures you see here, I’m rocking the regular length jeans. That frayed edge you’re admiring? Yep, that’s my handiwork with the scissors.
But let’s be clear: if you’re team flats all the way, Abercrombie’s short inseam is a petite girl’s dream. They hit at just the right spot on the ankle; no alterations needed. It’s so refreshing to find jeans that actually work for my frame without drowning me in excess fabric or making me look like I’m wearing capris when I’m aiming for full-length.
So whether you’re team short inseam or a DIY queen like me, Abercrombie’s got options. And let me tell you, it feels pretty good to walk out of a store with jeans that actually fit.
Abercrombie Curve Love Jeans Review
Abercrombie Jeans Review: The Fit
Spoiler alert: the Curve Love 90’s Relaxed style might just be the best Abercrombie jeans I’ve ever slipped my curves into! Every pair you see in these photos is a variation of this style, with the only difference being whether they’re high rise or super high rise. And let me tell you, both options are chef’s kiss. If you’re like me and have spent years playing the “waist or booty” game when jean shopping, get ready for a revelation. The Curve Love jeans are designed with us curvier gals in mind, giving you that perfect fit that hugs your waist while still accommodating your booty.
My personal fave (and the ones you see pictured above) are the High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean. They hit that sweet spot of being comfy enough for running errands with the kids, but cute enough for a night out with the girls. Plus, the vintage stitching serves that perfect mom jean vibe without making you look like you’re actually wearing jeans from the 90s. Whether you opt for the high rise or super high rise, these jeans are going to hug you in all the right places. No more choosing between fitting your waist or your curves—with these babies, you can have your cake and eat it too. And speaking of cake, these jeans are definitely here for all of yours!
Abercrombie Jeans Review: The Stretch
Let’s talk stretch, ladies—or, in this case, the lack thereof. These Curve Love jeans are like that friend who gives you a firm hug instead of a flimsy pat on the back. They’ve got a more rigid fit compared to your typical stretchy jeans, but don’t let that scare you off. This firmer fabric is actually a secret weapon in the battle against lumps and bumps, providing a super smoothing effect that’ll have you feeling like you’re wearing Spanx, minus the breathability issues.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “rigid” doesn’t exactly scream comfort. But trust me, these might just be the best Abercrombie jeans for petites who want both comfort and structure. The beauty of this less-stretchy fabric is that it holds its shape throughout the day. You know those jeans that start off cute but end up saggy and baggy by dinner time? Yeah, these aren’t those. These bad boys keep you looking snatched from morning carpool to evening Netflix binge without digging in or loosening up. It’s like they’ve found the Goldilocks zone of jean comfort—not too tight, not too loose, but just right.
Abercrombie Jeans Review: The Price
Let’s talk dollars and cents, because I know you’re wondering if these jeans are worth the splurge. The Abercrombie Curve Love jeans typically range from $75-100, which might make your wallet wince a little. But hear me out—these babies are worth every penny. They hold up like champions over time, maintaining their shape and color wash after wash. And can we talk about the crossover front detail jeans pictured below? Absolutely worth it for that unique style.
But here’s a little insider tip from one budget-conscious mama to another: Abercrombie runs sales pretty frequently. If you’ve got the patience of a saint (or a toddler mom), wait for one of these sales to roll around. You can snag these jeans at a sweet discount and feel like you’ve won the lottery. It will be a win-win for your curves and your bank account!
Abercrombie Curve Love Jeans FAQ’s
Are Abercrombie Jeans True To Size?
For the most part, yes! These jeans are pretty spot-on when it comes to sizing. But here’s a little tip: if you’re trying on a pair with more stretch, you might want to consider sizing down. Why? Those stretchier styles can sometimes get a bit too comfortable throughout the day, if you know what I mean. Nobody wants saggy bottoms by dinnertime! So if you’re between sizes, go for the snugger fit!
What’s The Difference Between Curve Love And Regular Abercrombie?
As I mentioned earlier, the Curve Love line is designed with a little extra room in the hips and thighs, while keeping the waist snug. This means no more annoying waist gap for us curvier gals! Regular Abercrombie jeans have a straighter cut through the hips. So if you’ve got some junk in the trunk (embrace it, girl!), Curve Love is your new best friend. It’s all about finding that perfect fit for your unique shape!
Do Abercrombie Jeans Have Stretch?
The amount of stretch can vary from style to style. If you’re a stretch detective like me, take a peek at the fabric content before you buy. Some styles have that “hug you in all the right places” stretch, while others are more rigid for that vintage feel. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but for your legs. Just pick the level of stretch that makes you feel like a million bucks!
After putting these Abercrombie Curve Love jeans through their paces, I’ve got to say—I’m impressed. From the variety of inseam lengths to the curve-hugging fit, these jeans are perfect for us shorter ladies with a little extra in the booty department. Are they worth the investment? In my book, that’s a resounding yes. Whether you’re rocking the high rise or super high rise, the relaxed 90s style, or that cute crossover front detail, these jeans have got you covered (literally).
Remember, don’t be afraid to get creative with your styling—a little DIY fraying here, a pair of killer heels there—and you’ve got yourself a look that’s uniquely you. So go ahead and treat yourself to a pair (or three) of these jeans. Your curves deserve it, and your confidence will thank you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some strutting to do in my new favorite jeans!
