Ode to The Buckle Part 2

August 4, 2008

buckle-jeansOk, I know I have mentioned how much I love the Buckle before. But this is worth writing about a couple times a year, for anyone who hasn’t shopped there yet. Their website is fantastic. After clicking on ‘Jeans’ a bunch of options pop up on the left, to narrow your search: Brand, Waist, Inseam (HELLO! Dream come true.), Size, Finish, Color, Rise, Fit, Fabric, & Price. My new favorite search? I mean beyond the obvious inseam search of course. It is the ‘Fit’ search. It’s true, I’m a bit thicker in the thighs. And I’m so tired of finding the perfect jeans online. Only to order them and realize the only reason they looked perfect is that they were worn by a model with thighs the size of my arms.

If you live anywhere near a Buckle, I highly suggest stopping in. Even if you don’t buy anything there, go try on some jeans to get your size, fit, ideal rise, etc. They’ll even give you a little card with your favorite fit & styles. Then when you check back for sales on the website, you’ll increase your chances of finding something with a great fit.

They really ought to be paying me for this.
