So, everyone’s been talking about these Agolde 90s High Rise Crop jeans, right? I kept seeing them pop up, people raving, and I thought, alright, I gotta see what this whole hype is about. They looked like they could be a solid, everyday kind of jean.
I decided to just order a pair. You know how it is with jeans online, sizing is always a bit of a shot in the dark. I checked out their size guide, read a few comments here and there, and then just picked what I hoped would work for me. Then, the waiting game for the package to show up.
When they finally arrived, I pulled them out. First impression? The denim felt pretty decent. It wasn’t flimsy, but not like super stiff cardboard either. Just a good, sturdy feel. The wash looked okay, pretty much like what I saw in the pictures online. They looked like, well, a pair of jeans.
Putting them to the test
Okay, so this was the main event – trying them on. First off, getting into them. They’re definitely high-rise, no question about it. I pulled them up, and yeah, they sat way up there on my waist. That part actually felt pretty good, kind of held everything in, you know?
The fit around the waist and hips: This is where things got a bit more specific. For me, the waist was snug. Not like, “I can’t breathe” tight, but it was definitely fitted. Through the hips, they were okay, maybe a touch more room than I expected, which wasn’t a bad thing.
Legs and the crop: The leg is supposed to have that 90s straight cut. And yeah, it was pretty straight. Not super wide, not skinny like a stick. Just straight down. And the crop length… well, on my frame, it was definitely cropped. Maybe even a little shorter than I usually go for, but hey, that’s the style, I guess.
I walked around a bit in my room, checked myself out in the mirror. How did they feel moving? The denim, like I said, wasn’t very stretchy. It felt more like traditional, old-school denim, which I get, for that 90s thing they’re going for. I had to see how they performed with basic movements.
- Sitting down: That snug waist definitely made its presence known. Not horrible, but I noticed it.
- Bending over: Felt a little bit restrictive, again, that classic denim non-stretch feel.
- Overall look: They definitely give off that 90s vibe. The high waist, the straighter leg, the crop – it all screamed nineties.
My final thoughts
So, what’s the verdict? Well, they’re not some kind of miracle jeans. They are, at the end of the day, just jeans. The high rise is genuinely high. The crop is genuinely cropped. And the 90s style is definitely there.
For my particular body shape, the waist-to-hip thing was a little tricky. If the waist felt perfect, I think the hips might have been a bit too loose for my liking, or if I got the hips right, the waist would probably be too tight. But that’s just me; jeans are a tough thing to get perfect for anyone, right?
And the price tag: Let’s be real, these aren’t cheap jeans. So, for that kind of money, you really want to be in love with them. I found myself thinking, “Do I love these that much?”
After wearing them around the house for a bit, trying them with different tops, I eventually decided they weren’t the absolute perfect match for me, at least not this time. They looked cool, for sure, but for what they cost, I need to feel 100% amazing and comfortable. I wondered if sizing up would help the waist, but then I worried the rest might get too baggy. It’s always a bit of a gamble.
So, yeah, I ended up sending them back. No hard feelings towards Agolde or anything. They seem like good quality jeans, and I totally get why so many people are into them. It just wasn’t my “Cinderella slipper” moment with this particular pair. The quest for the perfect 90s-style jeans goes on, I suppose!
