Abercrombie Is Having Its Biggest Comeback Yet, so I Tried Its Best Jeans
I have seen very few brands experience the kind of resurgence and reinvention that Abercrombie & Fitch has undergone. The brand may have once been known for "model" sales associates and an overpowering cologne you caught a whiff of every time you walked in the door, but its remarkable transformation has created an Abercrombie that's nothing like the brand I once knew in my preteens. Now, when I think of Abercrombie, I think of the many viral TikToks that I've seen raving about its latest ready-to-wear offerings and most importantly, the denim.
After months of pondering whether these jeans were worth stuffing into my overfilled denim drawers, I decided to finally give Abercrombie jeans a try. I've been all about low-waisted and excessively baggy jeans this summer, but now I'm looking for more professional-looking styles that I'll wear for years on end. Below, see the two viral denim styles that I tried on from Abercrombie and my honest reviews of them.
Introducing the Jeans I Tried
If you want a pair of jeans that are comfortable, flattering, and under $100, you need to see this style from Abercrombie. I felt like I never looked better and also had the opportunity to wear jeans that will go well with every occasion on my calendar.

Yes, I'm one of those people who are terrified of skinny jeans. I've been wearing baggy, wide-leg jeans on repeat. Recently, I saw Kendall Jenner step out in NYC wearing straight-leg jeans, and it made me realize I might be ready to take a step away from the puddle pants. Since trying these jeans on for the first time, I've decided that this is an easy compromise for me to make in the denim category.
