Skinny jeans: Dior, JRJ, Cheap Mondays

[jax2000]

I have a question. How do these all compare (rise, leg opening, sizing)? Currently, I'm just wearing sz. 28 Dior 19cm. What I am most concerned about is the rise. I think Dior has a higher rise but meant to be slung low. My problem is that when I wear it low (like on the dior website), the thighs are too baggy while the lower leg is tight. So I'm thinking of venturing out into other brands like julian red and cheap monday. Could anyone give me a idea of how they compare in terms of rise, sizing, leg opening, and overall look? The model on the Julian Red website is how I like to wear them.

Thanks

Julian Red Hoboken=tighter, Cheap Monday =tightest amongst the three. CM's are low waist DH and JR not on me, and I also wear size 28. Both JR and CM's have the same leg opening, if I'm not mistaken it's 15cm. I definitely love JR Hoboken's fit, not too tight and very tappered on the ankle. I get more compliments with JR than CM, think of CM's like tights. Now go and spend those cash!!!

if you don't like baggy thighs with tight tapered ankles dont go with the hobokens cuz thats how they fit

the cheap monday "tight" are the skinniest jeans i own. they have a medium rise, and are slim all the way down. they average about six inches at the bottom, if not smaller. but the fit is amazing. and as for the hoboken, they're just as slim from the knee down, but the thigh area is looser, and the waist is tighter.

Dior isn't meant for a skin tight look...the waist is cut big so even though the jeans have a normal rise they are slung lower because the correct size in your waist will be bigger and thus hang lower. If they look a lil baggy/slouchy in the thighs, to me that's the correct way to rock them. The runway stylings are a bit misguiding as they're tailored strictly for the show (and you'll also notice that the jeans on the runway are not the standard bunched-up long length that they come in stores). The only time I've seen them lookin butt tight is on guys like Jude Law or Josh Hartnett and that's because they got bigger thighs, I don't think that looks as cool. Like others above have said, Cheap Monday seems to be better if you're tryin to go tight.

Yeah, seconding what fade said, dior's are ment to rock a bit low & move around a bit on your hips. Pockets are perfect because of this.

Anyone know where to cop Julian Red in nyc?

Thanks for all the help guys! I really appreciate it! One more question, when you guys are mentioning the cheap mondays, are you talking about the "tight" model or the newer "narrow" model which is supposed to be slimmer? But 15 cm is damn slim, I'm curious, I think I will invest in a pair of CM once caliroots gets their stock in.

Btw, I was checking out the JRJ website, the California seems to fit pretty good, slim, straight, slung low. Just wondering if they actually fit like that in person. I was checking the superfuture archives for pictures and the fit seem to look very different in real life compared to the models.

the tight. i had a pair of the unwash narrows, and the denim was nasty. and they didnt fit so great, either. but maybe it was just that one pair. i find that cheap mondays are extremely inconsistent when it comes to denim/sizing/fit/whatever.

you can also try acne max. in my experience the rise is a little higher on the JR Hobokens than CM or Acne Max so you're supposed to wear them a little lower.
