Okay, let’s talk about this Gigi Hadid jeans thing.
So I kept seeing pictures of Gigi Hadid, you know, out and about, looking super cool and casual in her jeans. They always seemed to fit her just right – kinda relaxed but still put-together. I thought to myself, “Alright, I wanna capture some of that vibe. How hard can it be to find a good pair of jeans like hers?” That’s how it all started, really. Just me, scrolling through photos and getting inspired.
Getting Started: The Search
First thing I did was hit the internet. I started searching terms like “Gigi Hadid jeans style” or “loose fit jeans like Gigi”. Man, tons of stuff popped up. Lots of articles talking about specific brands she wears, but wow, the prices on some of those were way out there. I wasn’t looking to spend a fortune, just wanted that particular look.
I tried to figure out what made her jeans look so good. It seemed like they were often:
- A bit high-waisted, usually.
- Definitely not skinny jeans. More like straight leg or even a bit baggy.
- Often light wash, sometimes with rips, sometimes clean.
- They just looked… comfortable. Effortless.
Hitting the Shops: Trying Things On
Online browsing only gets you so far, right? You gotta try stuff on. So, I actually dedicated an afternoon to go shopping. Went to a few different stores, from department stores to smaller boutiques. I grabbed a bunch of different styles that looked promising.
This was harder than I thought. Finding that perfect balance is tricky. Some pairs were too baggy all over, making me look kinda sloppy. Others were too tight in the waist even if the legs were loose. I tried on probably fifteen different pairs across three stores. Some were called “mom jeans,” some “straight leg,” some “boyfriend jeans.” The names didn’t always help.
I remember standing in one fitting room, looking at this pair that was almost right, but the wash was too dark. Then another pair had the perfect wash, but the fit was weird around the hips. It was getting a bit frustrating, honestly.
What I Ended Up With (and Learned)
After all that searching and trying on, I did eventually find a pair. They weren’t an exact match to any specific photo I’d seen of Gigi, but they captured the feeling I was going for. They’re a light wash, high-waisted, straight leg cut – not too tight, not ridiculously baggy. Comfortable.
Here’s the thing, though. What I kinda realized through this whole process is that it’s not just the jeans. It’s how she styles them, her confidence, the whole package. Putting on the jeans didn’t magically make me look like a supermodel – shocker, I know!
But it was a fun experiment. It got me thinking more about finding clothes that I feel good and comfortable in, rather than just trying to copy someone else exactly. So yeah, I got some decent jeans out of it, and learned a bit about my own style preference along the way. It wasn’t really about Gigi in the end, it was about finding a comfortable, cool pair of jeans for me.
