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 over 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. 

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 is 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.

These are the kind of jeans that could turn me back into a high-waisted kind of person.

Just the right amount of flare for a good pair of ankle boots.

Straight jeans are now on my shopping list.

Just a little bit of leather.

These are such a fashion-girl moment.

I like the crop here.

Everything about these jeans have me convinced that I need them.

My new obsession.

Black jeans are always a good idea.

Light wash has earned its way back into my heart.

The outfit ideas that popped up in my mind when I saw this pair were endless.

Seconds away from being skinny jeans, and I'm not mad about it.

A crossover waistband will always be so cool to me.

Something about dark denim is just so dang flattering.

Mom jeans always end up being so timeless.

To be paired with a good pair of loafers.

I'm copying this outfit ASAP.

 I can't stop myself from buying denim that looks like this.

There's something very cool about these jeans.

I always feel like baggy jeans flatter my waistline.

Every editor I know owns these jeans.

These currently live in my head rent-free.

Yup, straight-leg denim is a force to be reckoned with.

I know for a fact that these jeans are extremely comfortable. 

I'm here for this wash.

These are too good.
