These Old Navy Jeans Magically Adjust to Your Body Shape


Shopping for jeans is no easy feat, especially when your size varies significantly from brand to brand. At some stores, I'm a size 6, while at others, size 8 is too snug. Team that with the fact that my weight fluctuates throughout the year like everyone's does (it's v normal, y'all), and I find myself tempted to steer clear of purchasing new denim altogether. But recently, while perusing Old Navy's jeans section, I came across the brand's "FitsYou" style that fits three sizes. The technology sounded game-changing, so I couldn't help but look into it further.

The debut "FitsYou" style is the Extra High-Waisted Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans ($45, originally $55), which come in four different washes and one ripped design, all featuring a contoured extra high-rise waistband. So how does the multi-sizing work? Well, per the brand, the jeans harness the power of Lycra-free technology, which allows the fabric to "expand over your body while remaining comfortable and not compressive."

Shoppers choose from a size range (0-00, 2-6, 8-12, 14-18, 20-24, and 26-30) rather than a singular number (which feels so much less stressful and risky, especially while ordering online). After taking a quick quiz to determine my size, the brand recommended adding the 8-12 range to my cart. I went with the dark-blue wash called "Cher" and then selected two-day shipping (because I have no chill).


I was cautiously optimistic about this order, especially since I wasn't entirely confident that the size 8-12 range wasn't the right fit. But upon slipping the jeans on, I was shocked to find that they hugged my body perfectly. They didn't feel too big, nor too small, and the stretchy material felt as comfortable as a pair of leggings. (Yes, really).

My *only* complaint is that I'm not as committed to the skinny jeans as I used to be. These days, I prefer a boot cut or wide-leg design à la the brand's Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Ripped Wide-Leg Jeans ($50), but that doesn't mean I'll ditch the style entirely. I do hope the brand utilizes the "FitsYou" technology in other styles, because there's not a doubt in my mind that it's genius. We just need some more options!

The verdict? I absolutely recommend giving these jeans a try, especially if you're someone who gets frustrated with jeans sizing like me. I love knowing this pair will meld to my body just as nicely if my weight fluctuates in the future - be it next week or a year from now. As far as fashion innovation goes, these jeans deserve an award for being - wait for it - ahead of the curve.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
