Quick Take
Abercrombie’s Curve Love Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean earns its viral status. The fit solves the classic curvy girl problem of a gaping waistband, the ultra high rise is flattering and comfortable, and the 90s straight leg works with everything in a modern closet. At $90 the list price is steep for jeans that Abercrombie discounts constantly, so buy on sale. Fit quirks across washes mean trying two sizes, but when you find yours, these are daily drivers.
Loves
- Curve Love fit eliminates the dreaded waist gap
- Ultra high rise sits at the natural waist and holds everything in
- Vintage 90s straight leg looks great with sneakers or boots
- 99 percent cotton with 1 percent elastane for comfort
- Huge range of washes, from light vintage to dark rinse
Not For
- $90 is a lot for jeans that go on sale constantly
- Sizing runs inconsistent across washes, try two sizes
- Stretch denim loses shape faster than rigid denim
- Return shipping carries a $7 label fee
The Details
Full Review
Quality
The denim is a 99 percent cotton, 1 percent elastane vintage stretch blend with a soft, lived in hand feel and clean finishing throughout. The Curve Love cut is the star: extra room through the hip and thigh with a nipped in waistband, so the jeans stay up without a belt. Stitching, hardware, and hems are all solid for the price point. This is not raw selvedge, but it is well made mall denim that punches above its tier.
Value
The $90 list price puts these in premium mall denim territory, and it is a fair price for the fit engineering involved. But Abercrombie runs near constant promotions, and patient shoppers routinely grab these for $60 or less. At sale prices they are one of the best denim values in women’s fashion. Pay full price only if you need a specific wash immediately.
You’ll Love It If
Women with curvy hips and thighs who are tired of waist gap in straight leg jeans should buy these.
Skip It If
Straight sized shoppers who fit standard cuts fine, and anyone who wants rigid non stretch denim, can skip this pair.
FINAL VERDICT
The Curve Love 90s Straight Jean is one of the best fitting jeans available for curvy figures, with a genuinely gapless waist and a flattering vintage silhouette. Buy on sale, size carefully, and you will wear these for years.
