For everyone who is still having issues ordering Jeans online. It’s more than just the sizing. Ignore your usual size!! Look at the size chart and compare the rise, waist and inseam to your body measurements. A low rise usually means larger size, high rises lean toward smaller. Material also is very important, does it have stretch or not? Measuring tapes are a few bucks and it changes your online clothing game. “Usual or True to Size” means nothing. All clothes fit differently.

[@natatatt]

Exactly. I don't care what the size # says (and not saying Carrie does) but it makes life easier if I ignore the size numbers, just go straight to the sizing chart and select off the measurements there. I can be 10/12/14 depending on where I buy from, and the only person who will know what size I'm wearing is me.

[@0carinaofthyme]

@@natatatt it definitely doesn’t work all the time but I find more things work out now. ☺️

[@hopefrench4209]

Yes!! Measuring myself completely changed the game

[@Cmm474]

Measuring works great till they come 1-2” smaller than they list. ASOS 🙄😂

[@0carinaofthyme]

@@Cmm474 it definitely doesn’t work for everything. I lean towards too big and learned some simple alterations myself. Obviously it isn’t affordable to everyone but off the rack clothing doesn’t fit a majority of people and that’s where tailoring comes in. I used to work at a dry cleaners as the counter associate when I was 19 and all kinds of people got clothing tailored. Not just fancy well to do people in high end brands. There’s some cool KZbin videos about the history of sizing and the beginning of mass rack clothing ☺️

[@latiasmith5094]

My biggest issue with extended sizing for jeans is that they have so many gaps! This isn't only at A&F, almost every size chart I look at is like this. Basically, 00-10 will be the same size as their measurements. So a 25 is 25 inches, 26 is 26 inches, etc. But for some reason when you get to size 12/14 and up, the inches start skipping. So a 32 will be 33.5 inches, 33 will be 35.5 inches, 34 will be 38 inches, etc. This makes me so mad! Like just because we're bigger doesn't mean we don't need one-inch differences in our clothes. I'm typically 32 inches, but I find that sizing charts will either be 31 or 33 inches so jeans are constantly too tight or too loose for me. And I know I can't be the only one. I know they're trying to cater to more plus-size folks, but who are they really helping with all these gaps? Especially since standard sizes don't have them.

THIS OMG. I had a total breakdown a few months ago trying to figure out WHY my true waist size was a 34 but I would fit into size “30” jeans sometimes but also size “34” jeans sometimes.

my experience with 'stiffer' jeans is that you should never size up if they fit first try because usually the material adjusts to your body after the first wear. if you size up they usually end up being baggy in all the wrong places at wear nr 3 or 4

[@AriannaMaee]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Carrie's hair 😍

[@mudkittens]

Just a PSA! As an Optician, I just wanted to touch on online shopping: They usually do take into account PD (how far apart your eyes are, which is a # that doesn’t change) but they can’t consider OC height (where your eyes sit up or down in the lens, and changes frame to frame) since you can’t try on the glasses. Which shouldn’t be an issue if your RX is small. But if you’re super blind like me, you might notice some vision issues because you’re not looking through the optimal area for viewing and it can lead to prism vision issues. Just thought to mention it! I’m done now lol. Not to say that isn’t a good sponsor of course!! Just please be aware if you’re a high RX it may not work out super perfectly. Ok ty bye 🥺💓

I’m subscribed to their email, so whenever there’s a sale I get notified, so I’m always on the loop (not all sales are great to be honest, you have to wait for the right one). Also! I always scroll through the clearance section, so when they add new stuff you have to be one of the first ones so your size doesn’t sell out. Now, I’m also in their reward points thing so I get $5 or $10 off coupons pretty often and those always come in handy. They also used to have 10% off in all orders when you use your AE credit card but looks like they got rid of it? I’m not sure, but I definitely got advantage of that. And there’s free shipping (no minimum required) for credit card holders. I literally got shipped a $6 sweater (after all coupons and discounts) for free !

[@nicoleosborn7187]

Tip if your jeans are just a bit small in the waist: iron the inside of the waist band, periodically stretching the band as you go. I get at least an inch of extra room doing this!!!

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

wow I didn't know the previous CEO said all that. I'm 30 and back in the day I didn't shop there because it was expensive and it didn't seem like it was for me.

[@sonastysorude]

I feel like low or non-stretch jeans are tricky. Abercrombie has a standard and curvy line to accommodate different body shapes, but when the denim is stiff it's pretty impossible that it's gonna fit everyone. But my suspicion is that their plus sizes are just larger versions of the "standard" sizes, which doesn't always translate well.

[@slena]

yeah buying denim (especially online) really sucks because you want some long lasting 100% cotton options but you also want some comfort... thank god for free returns

[@lydschnid61]

Completely agree. 100% cotton jeans can be a big issue especially if they are, as you said, just larger versions of the size 0 or whatever. Unless they are more of the curvy fit, us thick thigh girl have issues because they are so tight on the thighs and then I could fit my whole fist in the waistband.

[@alexarimmer]

Abercrombie is like your shitty ex being like wait no I charged I promise! Give me another chance! Lmao😂

[@madelynnmunn7704]

I wouldn’t recommend sizing up even if they’re a tiny bit snug at first! Mine were a little tight when I first got them but they loosened to the perfect size after I wore them for a few hours! Edit: I also like my Abercrombie jeans more than my American Eagle jeans because the Abercrombie’s don’t have anything on the back pockets. Sometimes the design on the back pockets of AE jeans kinda “ruins my outfit” if that makes sense lol. I much prefer plain butt pockets so I love that Abercrombie does that

Abercrombie has completely stepped up. Bought 2 pairs of jeans from them after being scarred from junior high and they are incredible!

[@rxxrcousin]

Corporations have the money to hire a bunch of different models with different body sizes, for example a 5’0 model who is a size 16 and a 6’0 model who is a 16, so they can incorporate as many different body types per size as possible. It’s inexcusable at this point that they don’t. Small businesses obviously that’s harder, but with huge companies like Abercrombie there’s no excuse.

[@claireborel2392]

Hey Carrie!! I used to work for Ambercrombie until 2 months ago and I am so happy to see you do a review! From being a Abercrombie Jean lover for 4ish years, I’ve gotten to learn the different styles, fits, materials, and shaping of AFs jeans. I’m usually a 10 but my weight will fluctuate during the year from an 8 to a 12. I have found that AFs most stretchy Jean is their super skinny. The Jean blend contains more elastic so they stretch when ur putting them on but hold their shape and structure when wearing them(personally I suggest sizing down bc if not then ur gunna be pulling ur pants up all day) The Jean legging is even more stretchy. Now I used to be an only skinny Jean girl but when I finally dabbled into the mom Jean I fell in love! Abercrombie’s mom Jean, straight Jean, flare, boyfriend, and bootcut do not have much elastic in their material blend. I find that my AF jeans fit similar (if not better) than my Madewell jeans. When u first put the Jean on it’s going to be a little tight, BUT wear them around the house for a good 3-4 hours. They will start to relax and won’t be as tight anymore. Also, they don’t give saggy butt when it starts to relax. For the mom Jean, I did size up to a 12 and when I feel they are getting a little big I either throw on a belt or wash them to “shrink” them back. As for the difference btwn the straight and mom Jean you tried on, the straight I think you said was a super high rise and the mom Jean was just a high rise. There is a big difference, about an 1in to an 1 1/2in difference. The high rise will sit a little higher than a midrise (for me it sits at my love handles). The super high rise will come higher and will help create that “hourglass” figure without being a curvy Jean. I hope this helps explain some of the sizing. Now work for Loft and they too have weird sizing. I find that their jeans don’t fit me as well as my AF ones do. Also, I am very aware of how expensive AF can be... ya just have to shop it right. When u make a purchase, u get a survey to complete(no they don’t sell ur info) once u complete the survey you get a coupon for $10 off a $50 purchase (and yes it applied to clearance items). Also, you could sign up for their rewards program and get a $10 off $50 reward then (they can’t be stacked) just keep an eye on the items u like, watch for them to hit clearance and wait for clearance to be an additional % off! Then u can apply ur $10 off $50 and u could even do two separate purchases if u wanted so u would save $20.

[@veganmeditations]

I'm sure you already know this but something like 84% of returned items/clothing apparently end up in the landfill (a shocking statistic I JUST found out about) so just wanted to encourage you to sell these vs return (although I"m sure you do that anyway a lot of the time)!

[@taylorbertling363]

abercrombie jeans are by far my favorite jeans!! theyre the only place ill get my jeans from, they do fit tight when you first put them on but i promise the more you wear them they stretch out a lot, i size down in them because they get super roomy!! the light ripped ones look so cute on you!!

[@sadietetrick6215]

As a girl with an hourglass shape (27/28 inch waist and 40 inch hips) Abercrombie curvy jeans are the only ones that fit my hip and waist ratio without any gaping in the waist. I used to hate the store back in the day, but love their jeans now. It was nice to see another opinion on their jeans tho! 💕

Megan Jaime hi! Sorry I just saw your message!! I get a size 28 in the curve love jeans and they fit amazingly!!! The curve love ones have a larger hip area, which is great because it fits snug around my waist and isn’t too tight on my hips/butt!

[@francescam-p3370]

Tried them for the first time this week and I was honestly impressed with the sizing. I typically wear anywhere between a size 22-26 but lately more so 24. I was impressed! I ordered some mom jeans and skinny’s in a 37 and everything fit very well especially considering non stretch denim which never normally fits me (I got 4 pairs). Better than AE who’s pocket’s always plop out for me. They could add a few improvements, maybe higher rise.. but overall I was super impressed and if you shop sale/clearance it’s really worth it!

Gotta say it, A&F has actually really stepped it up. The curvy mom jeans from them are truly my favorite as a 6/8. They actually have quite a bit of stretch and have been able to accommodate an extra 10 lbs. Even if they are a little tighter. Now I do struggle with their normal denim sizing, but that's just because of the cut of the denim.

[@charlotteh7291]

I'm from New Zealand and the US sizing fascinates me. A US size 16 is an NZ size 20. There is NO WAY you would be a size 20. Here you would most likely be a size 14 (maybe a 16 at a stretch) which is a size 10-12 US. It's amazing how different sizing can be in different countries.

The thing I’ve learned about recent Abercrombie jeans is that they start our stark and tight but definitely loosen as the day goes badly. It doesn’t take too long really. But definitely don’t size up. It’s like this every wash tbh.

[@creatingfromtruth525]

Try the curve love in them. The curve ones actually give you so much shape and the stiching really accentuates any curves you may have. I have many pairs and a short waist so the high-rise, curve mom jeans are my fav! If you have a long torso, a med-rise would be (and looked) amazing for you in the mom jeans, because those have a higher rise already than most and the more straight leg. Also, as someone who has had to learn to love my mom-body, I wear an 8/10 which put me at a 30/31 and so in sizing up, I ordered a 32 and it was ridiculous. I think keeping your size is more appropriate for larger sizes as we might be used to being snug in our jeans lol But even then, a 30 was big too so I have found perfection in 29L (thought I am 5'2") in the Curve love jeans and shorts!

[@photogirl023]

I’ll be real I absolutely never touched Abercrombie when I was in school but I buy from them so so much now. The crop tops are always the perfect length, the construction is better than my other fav madewell, and at least in the mid-size range they are VERY tts. Tight for the first hour and then wear in to the perfect size. I have tried both their regular and curve love in both jeans and shorts and they’re great. I can’t speak highly enough of the seamless tops and anything linen-like. Hop on any second hand sight and you can find a lot too! Cute and v trendy without being urban outfitters levels of skimpy and flimsy.

[@hopefaithjoy16]

The tightness is usually BC they’re 100% cotton, so I wouldn’t go up a full size; they’ll stretch a little as you wear them, and you don’t have to wash jeans after each wear, so they’ll feel more comfortable the more you wear them. But you should always wear what makes you comfortable and happy, so if you don’t like them, then ditch em ✌🏼 Also, congrats for coming out! You’re such a joy to watch dude 💜😊

As problematic as Abercrombie is, I do commend them for carrying 000's because as someone who is a 000/00, XXS/XS finding clothes that fit can be really difficult. Especially as someone who is relatively tall because they just make pants that are my size way too short for me.

They used to go only up to size 12. Also little tip, the lighter washes typically run a little bit tighter. It depends on the type of denim they use. Because I found a dark pair that I loved but also had absolutely no stretch. It all depends on the stretch. But overall I have found that a&f light wash jeans are usually not as stretchy.

I love Abercrombie. they rebranded a while ago and I have enjoyed their stuff ever since. I buy their high waisted skinny jeans and mom jeans and haven't had a problem with sizes in the few years I've been buying these. and they often have bogo or 50% off deals on jeans

[@kellylambert4153]

Hi Carrie! I actually just ordered 3 pairs of Abercrombie jeans - first time ever trying them. I got 1 ultra (or super, I forget the name) high rise and 2 high rise in super skinny styles. The ultra high rise was very tight and uncomfortable, while the high rise were perfect. All were size 31L - so I had the same situation as you. I really loved the fit of the high rise, but also agree is it's more of a mid-to-high rise - not quite high. Thanks for sharing!

[@tay_lee25]

Yeah the old CEO was a major jackass! The new WOMAN who is rebranding A&F (was in charge of rebranding Hollister and did it well apparently) has made a lot of steps to make the clothing more “inclusive, mature, and better quality.” MK sure. But I tried a few sweaters from them this winter and am in love which is shocking because I always hated A&F as a teen. I’m a 10/12 and their large fits me really well. Hopefully they keep adding more and more sizes and stay far far away from their 90-2000s branding of sexualizing children and tiny tiny clothes.

Wait the last glasses you tried on are sooooo flattering on you!

[@HeatherLynseyMusic]

When I hear Abercrombie I flashback to shirts so tight I couldn’t lift my arms lmao

[@melissacox3669]

holy moly that was a REAL interview?!!! AHHHHHH

[@LapostropheAura]

omg love to see Lucy Wood's tee in the Warby Parker segment!!!

[@allieleighs]

ok we love a warby parker sponsor i'm LITERALLY wearing the durand glasses rn!!!

[@Miriiiah]

carrie your hair looks so cute like this!!!

[@lydschnid61]

Even with more inclusive brands like American Eagle, I feel that it’s still pretty exclusive. In my past, I’ve been a true 14/16 for a long time. Shopping at AE, you aren’t able to get size 16 in store, so basically I couldn’t go to the store or shop with my thinner friends at the mall because they only offer those extended sizes online. I guess that’s why I became an AE girl because I could order them online and get the sizes I needed. Abercrombie & hollister sadly didn’t do that and I agree that it did traumatize many of us thicker girls in middle and high school.

[@ErinSoulia]

That’s so crazy that the same size but different style fit you differently, I just checked them out and they’re on sale for like $50 so I might try them out! You should review gymshark next!

[@victoria-e]

Their denim does stretch A LOT in my experience. I got the curve love shorts last summer and I swear they went up 2 full sizes after wearing them for a month.

[@GravityFallsUp]

I’ll stick to my American Eagle jeans... the relaxed mom jean fit is perfect for me! Some people have complained the thighs are way too big on them but my thunder thighs love them..

[@CreatePeace612]

You're right about the residual trauma, I feel like those jeans are whispering about me in the hallway, clocking my Walmart shoes, and laughing at my acne O.O

[@xHarlequin]

I love Abercrombie, they've stepped it up the past few years. They have sales very often, I never pay full price.

[@npolyak90]

Just a reminder to everyone that those checkout or cashier prompts to round up your transaction or donate X amount are SO amazing. BUT the corporation usually is doing it for two or three reasons: 1. They genuinely care about the mission of the foundation 2. Positive PR for how much they donated 3. Huge tax breaks for charitable donations (none of which they had to front the money for because it came from your donation) If you like one of these organisations, consider going to their site and donating the $5 yourself instead of helping a massive corporation get even richer.

[@allisonmallory2641]

Omg please try other clothing from them! They have the cutest stuff now

[@TheSabz11]

Abercrombie jeans are expensive but i will says they have 40 to 60 percent off VERY often on jeans. Ive never paid more than 45. So if youre willing to wait it does come around

[@abbeypautsch105]

The acid wash jeans are so cute. Something I've been looking for!

[@roxannealanis6706]

You look soo pretty the bun and makeup is everything!! ❤️😍

[@rachelelyse95]

I think sometimes people don’t pay attention to material/fabric when it comes to clothing, especially denim. I’m normally a 12, and in stretchy jeans/curvy jeans I size down to a 10, whereas denim that’s more rigid/non-stretchy like these, I go up to a 14 and even a 16 sometimes. I think paying attention to the fabric and also reviews are really important with online shopping, the extra steps are one reason why I miss trying on clothes in-store 😭 I liked both pairs of jeans, but whew not for $100 🤧

[@ktlevanson]

Loving your content lately! You seem happier ☺️

[@jodicoats6866]

Would love to see you try out Universal Standard. Not the target brand, but the company Universal Standard. I’ve been loving their jeans and they are very size inclusive. FYI, they are currently doing mystery boxes, so they might be fun to try out

[@gracelynch196]

Love to see the Warby Parker sponsor!! I used to work them and am still obsessed.

[@stravvberriii]

i am not plus size so i’m not sure how it would apply to everyone but my experience with A&F is great! i wear the curvy style jeans and it’s true to size typically. however, with the mom jeans it any that say “vintage stretch” i have to size up because of the lack of stretch. i never buy them full price either, $99 is a stretch

[@liyagross6523]

Can you do a video where you check if the sizing is true to chart ? Like measure the waist band of the jeans and see if its really true to chart

[@HeyItsDariann]

this is so funny because I just used abercrombie as an example of a bad brand for my branding class lollll

[@MADjay1313]

You MUST try the curvy line! They really just have a little more room on the hips and waist! They also have a tiny bit of stretch 👌🏽👌🏽✨✨

[@cruciisfiction]

100% cotton or almost no stretch jeans will be tight at the beginning but WILL mold and stretch to your body.Take my word for it!

[@TheKennyjaaay]

Abercrombie has plus size online but not in store. Went there today and I couldn’t find any pair of jeans bigger then size 30. But when I walked to the clearance area oh yea you see maybe 1 or 2 sizes bigger then 30.

[@lindsdandy9742]

your makeup looks super extra cute today!

[@cristicruz2938]

The second pair looks good, especially the color but if it's not The One, you can't force true love! If I'm spending $100 on jeans, I'm not paying for holes in them though EXCEPT AE since those jeans are made from jean butter. It also took me 31 years of life to decide if I can’t easily zip them up or sit down comfortably, those jeans are not for me! It’s like women went from having to strap our chests down with corsets to now shoving our thighs and mid-section into unforgiving denim. Have you tried jeans from Calvin Klein? I thrifted two pairs and I'm obsessed. The sizes are tricky though, I'm snug but fine with the 8 and no issues with the 10 so like always just depends on the fit, cut and rise.

[@mykenziejackson4579]

I have the first pair but in a mid rise from a few years ago, same wash and pattern of rips. Funny because they run soooo big like I could have went down a size or two. I have noticed that when companies expand their sizing, their clothes tend to run a lot smaller than they previously did. Like my Abercrombie jeans from a few years ago are a 6/28 and are too big, and now I can barely get into a 10/30 even though my weight/body shape hasn’t changed.

[@pumpkincraze]

the second pair (the mom jean) looked amazing on you!

[@haileykl3]

Just so everyone knows, Abercrombie actually goes down to a 23! 😊 I struggle to find that size and so happy they have it.
