Quick Hit: Joe’s Jenny Honey


I ♥ Joe’s Jeans. Not only are they the perfect inseam for me + flats at 34″ long, they also are shaped for curvy women. Take that J.Crew Matchstick Jeans in white! The Joe’s Jenny Honey ($158) are just what I was looking for in a white jean. The material is a bit thicker than the similar 7 For All Mankind White Boot ($169) and are a bit more forgiving in the tush. They’re made of cotton that is breathable so I feel like these will be fine on all but the hottest days. They also sit slightly higher than the 7 For All Mankinds or the Matchsticks which prevents the dreaded muffin top. On the Joe’s you get a much straighter cut in the thigh and a gentle bootcut.

If you have a straight shape, go with the J.Crew Matchsticks. If you have a curvy bottom but straight legs the 7 For All Mankinds are your winners. And if you are curvy all over your match is the Joe’s Jeans. Done, done and done. (The Joe’s also come in kicker form.)

    I have the Joe's kicker. My favorite capri length denim of all time! Nice review.

    Just bought a white pair of Joes Vintage Whites yesterday… I love them. That's all I wear now! Oh, and last winter I did buy a pair of the black cords matchstick from Crews… you are definitely right on!

    I tried on similar Joes at Anthro in the petite size and they were perfect for my 5'5" height! I think I'm going back to get them tomorrow.

    Just to droll on a bit more, I wore these 3 or 4 times while in Florida and they were great. It was humid and in the 90s and I was totally comfortable in the Honeys. Loves.

    Just to add a couple more options, I bought <A HREF="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=56&pageId=1&productId=prod3850003&viewAll=&prd=Blanc+Essential+Jean&subCatId=&color=&fromSearch=&inSeam=&posId=11&catId=cat210003&cat=Pants&colorFamily=&maxPg=4&size=&quot; REL="nofollow">these pants from White House Black Market over the weekend and they are pretty freakin' fab. I took a size 8. They also had <A HREF="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=56&pageId=1&productId=prod4609278&viewAll=&prd=Noir+Trellis+Trouser&subCatId=&color=&fromSearch=&inSeam=&posId=9&catId=cat210003&cat=Pants&colorFamily=&maxPg=4&size=&quot; REL="nofollow">these which look a lot like the Joe's Jenny Honeys but I did not like the belt. The 8 was also the right size in those pants for me. I will never need to buy white pants again unless I change sizes. 🙂
