Need teen girl jeans suggestions

I really like Levis and they are easy to find at thrift stores/yard sales. They make them in every cut imaginable it seems. I still wear my 501s from Junior High. Those things last forever

I hate to advocate for a mall store, but do you have a Fashion Bug near you? I was having a REALLY hard time finding jeans for my very curvy (but not yet tall) 12-yr old, and we had the best luck there. We scoured the clearance racks and found 3 pair she loved for under $30. They're just low enough to be comfortable and fashionable, but not sitting barely north of no-man's land. And they all have a little Lycra for stretch

Thanks for the suggestions. We don't have Fashion Bug but we do have Gap. But....she won't shop at Gap. Something about how she's more punk and not preppy although that irks me since my first husband was an "actual" punk and we used to have Thanksgiving with Tommy Ramone because he married my best friend's sister...blah,blah.....and of course, my dd is NOT a punk in my eyes.....

Anyway, I did have her just put them on right away to stretch them out. They are still a bit tight but I will try washing them again (I only wash in cold).

Thanks for the advice. I think she needs to be less particular and I may just make her try on some Gap jeans to see how they feel. We tend to "owe" each other now and then, and I think it's my turn to receive! Gap here we come! No more butt-crack!

Banana republic makes special curvy fit jeans. They also have talls and stuff. But their jeans are $70 and up! I imagine gap and old navy have the same thing at better prices. I hate those companies, but their clothes fit so well
If she's into being more "punk" than I would go with levi's as there is more choice. Aren't "punk" jeans super tight, tapered leg, and black typically? Or is that nouvau punk? I've been seeing lots of black tapered legs around here lately.
Anyway, I'm curvy, always have been and gap companies are the most comfortable jeans I've found. They last for about 6 months, but very comfortable.
Good luck, I hated shopping for jeans when I was a teen. Those low rise jeans make me look like I'm about 20 pounds heavier than I am. Hmm, I guess that was 10 years ago. Why the heck is that style still in??? :

I have a string bean of a dd so I am unsure if our favorite store will work for you but... The Limitd Too seems to fit the bill for us. They do have a good selection of sizes and cuts. The Limited Too also has some really good clearnace clothes if you get lucky and the timing is good.

I too wash my jeans and then put them in the dryer - here in Minnesota line drying is not an option most the year ! Once in a while they're in there too long and seem to have shrunk. Usually they can be stretched back.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm lucky in that although she is very rigid lately about what she will eat, wear, etc. she will do as I say because she won't bite the hand that feeds her. She knows she has it good around here! So I will definitely take her for a marathon jeans day and just make her try it all on and see if she can't find something she can live with that doesn't look so trashy. She tends to buy her jeans at Charlotte Russe or Forever 21. She wanted a pair at Hot Topic (neo-punk) but they were out of her size. Those are all mall stores and up to recently Granny was shopping for all her clothes at Christmas (I was a single mom for many years and it became the tradition) but Granny can't walk that much anymore. I only bought thrift store for her and she was totally fine with that, but you know how it goes, she wants to be fashionable as well as thrifty! And I can spring for new jeans (but on sale!) once a year. I just hate the way these lowrise jeans fit on these kids. It's not a pretty site!
