A Little Help Please . . . JCrew Matchstick Jeans

JCrew Matchstick PantsJeans, Top

Ladies! I need a little help. If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen this photo. Earlier this week, I went to JCrew (the factory store) and got these cute white Matchstick Jeans. Bob thought they were great and I’ve been wanting white jeans for a while now, so I pulled the trigger. Then, I came home. And started thinking. (A dangerous pastime, I know.) And I started wondering about the bunching around the knees. You see, these are skinny jeans, not jeggings. And I wondered if after 5 minutes of wearing them if I would be annoyed that they’re always bunching.

This is where you come in. Do you have these jeans? I just need a little help with them. Can you tell me if you have any of the problems I’m describing or if I’m just being silly? I already feel like I won’t be able to tuck them into boots. Is this true?

HELP ME!

PS: I am also open to opinions from those of you who do not have these jeans. Let me have it!

    I totally know what you mean with the bunchy knee jcrew jeans. You’d have to go a size down to not get the bunch. It’s the sizing/stretch of their jeans. They look super cute on though…more relaxed.

    I don’t have these jeans, but I totally know what you mean about the knee bunching. I have a pair of Gap skinny jeans that bunch after wearing them for a few hours…and I definitely can’t wear them with boots. I typically can only wear jeggings with boots.
    The jeans are cute on you though, and would probably be good with flats.

    I don’t have those exact jeans, but jeans with bunching knees I cannot do. I remember seeing this on Instagram and thinking they were cute on you, though!

    Definitely go a size down with Jcrew jeans. It is the secret to getting a great fit. I didn’t believe it because a size down felt tight when I tried it on in the store, but I trusted others advice and it was spot on.

    I have those jeans! They do bunch a bit around the knees, partly because they aren’t a true “skinny”, but a straight leg. I tried on my regular jCrew size (down a size from other brands, but not all), and then a size down, and ended up going with my normal JCrew size. The bunching will be a problem with boots, even if you do the “pull and wrap” with the material, but in anticipation of spring I’ve tried them with sandals and heels, and different folded cuff lengths, and love them! They’re somewhere between a boyfriend fit and a skinny jean, and can be dressed up for down easily.
