Finally, Jeans That FIT!

If I said these Eloquii bellbottom jeans changed my life would that be dramatic? Yes. And they dramatically changed my life so…I said what I said💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

Shopping for jeans is really freaking hard! Not a lot of jeans are cut for body types with any amount of curve so when you’re an “apple-glass” like me, curvy all over, it’s especially tricky! 

I have a vivid memory of being 14 years old in the dressing room of the Gap trying on every style of jeans they had in my size, (mot much) and eventually falling to the ground, tears rolling down my cheeks, feeling totally defeated. I felt like a freak of nature who doesn’t deserve clothes that fit. 

 Like a cheesy coming-of-age film, the song The Middle by Jimmy Eat World started playing overhead on the radio. The words really resonated with me, as corny as it sounds! “It just take some time, little girl. you’re in the middle of the ride. everything will be just fine, everything will be all right.” I sat there wondering when things will feel all right and when I would feel fine. 

The kicker is, at the time I was only a size 14. But in 2006 the trend was low rise and slim cut and for a girl with a lot of junk in the trunk, thick thighs, and curvy hips and belly, that just wasn’t right for me. Don’t get me wrong, I believe any body type can wear any style! The key is that you feel comfortable. And the key to everyone having the opportunity to feel comfortable is having OPTIONS and back then, there weren’t many options for plus sizes. 

I’m so grateful that 15 years later (and many body changes later), there are more options for different body types. We still have a long way to go with inclusive fashion, but we’ve come so far! 

These jeans come in three different cuts: classic (self-explanatory) Gena (for a curvy midsection), and viola (for curvy hips). I am wearing the Gena in a 24 and I find it super generous in size! The future of inclusive fashion is sizing based on body type and custom options. I’m really pleased to see brands like Eloquii offering more inclusive sizing and I look forward to seeing more pieces like this! These are normally $120 but today they’re on sale for $49!

As always, my opinions are my own.
