New find - jeans

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Do any of you wear Old Navy "Rockstar" jeans? I normally don't find alot at Old Navy but I have heard so much about these jeans I decided to try them. I wanted skinny/jeggings type. I also decided to really go out on a limb and try something different. I love the skinny jeans/pants and a tunic, long vest, etc. Sometimes a straight front over jeans you get a bit of a bulge from the fly/snap area. So when looking at the rockstar jeans (online), I kept reading all these rave reviews about the pull-on style. So I ordered them. OH MY! I love them! I would wear the regular (non pull-on) with certain things, but with some tops I love the smooth front of the pull-ons. So comfy and the band doesn't stretch out. Nor does the knees or seat. No bag or sag after wearing them all day. There are different styles and colors in the rockstar line. Next I'll order shorter ones for warm weather! Just wanted to share a great new (to me) find.

    How is the sizing? Do they run small or large in reference to your normal size? I haven't bought any thing there in years, but remember hearing about these jeans a year or so ago on this forum, IIRC.

    This really intrigues me because I find that the jeans I have now are always giving me that lovely bulge from the fly/snap area. I just went to old navy and entered rockstar jeans in the search. It said it couldn't find that. So I just put in women's jeans, and there are about 20 rockstar jeans which came up. So which ones are you loving? And thank you for sharing.

    I wear the ON Rockstar high-waist dark wash skinny jeans, but they aren't pull-on. I love the fit and they don't stretch out. Not expensive either! I'll take a look at the pull-on, sounds like I might like them too.

    Thanks, Tina, just ordered a pair in a dark wash - the site has 30% off today, too. I do love an elastic waistband lol. I also ordered a few t-shirts and a sweater also on sale to get free shipping; thanks for helping me spend some money -- like I needed to do that!

    I'll let you know what I think!

    Thanks for the recommendation, Tina! Skinny jeans/jeggings and a long tunic-style top, paired with boots in the fall/winter and strappy, heeled sandals in spring/summer is pretty much my "go to" style. I'll look into these, as I had not heard of them until now.

    Another who hasn't heard of these til now. I never have liked the bulge created by the snap in front. And I absolutely can't abide lower-rise jeans! I'm tall with a small waist and anything that starts to ride down on my hips is just so uncomfortable. Usually jeans are too big in the waist for me.

    I'm once again in need to search for new jeans. I'm down to my last two pair of go-to jeans and they are saggy baggy and need to be replaced desperately. I have a love/hate relationship with old navy jeans, they have SO many cuts!! I have to be in the right mind set to go try jeans there. I usually have good luck with Sonoma and Apt 9 from Kohls.

    I've bought a couple of scarves and a shirt or two at Old Navy and that was about it - until these jeans. I kept hearing about them so tried them and I will be buying more! I have them on today with booties. I forgot to mention they come in different lengths. I got short.

  • 9 years ago

    I am really looking forward to trying them. One more question- as their website is not too giving- are these in stores or only online?

  • 9 years ago

    Now that I cannot answer Sheila. I bought mine online.

  • 9 years ago

    Shelia, if you look for them on the website, there's a "find in store" feature that you can check for availability in your local store. But I think it's much easier to shop ON online since the store is usually such a mess.

  • 9 years ago

    Tina, what's the fit like? Would you say they're true to size? I'm hesitant to order something online without trying it on first, but I absolutely hate making a trip to a store to try on jeans or pants. Ugh! Never a "fun" excursion.

  • 9 years ago

    I finally made it to the store yesterday. They had so many varieties of rockstar jeans, but I picked 3 pair to try on in 2 different sizes. I agree they fit nicely and seem to comfy. The ones I tried definitely had the sculpt and also the normal closure but you re right- it did not jut out.

    I was confused a bit because the pair I think I liked beter was a super dark denim almost a solid color, and was $39. The other pair which was more traditional denim looking and also had the sculpt stretch was $49.

    I would say they really are true to size. I am normally a 14 and I brought in 14 and 16 thinking they might run small, but the 14 was quite fine.

    The store was not too busy but there was a very long line at the registers. I walked out empty handed but I will likely go back or even order online now that I have tried them in real life.

    thank you for sharing this- gotta love the forum!

    Sheilaauss, I'm impressed that you were able to walk out without them because of the lines!

    My DD does this. She snapshots the tags, then goes home and orders. She is not one to wait on lines.

    I got the jeggings that Tina suggested, and they are really
    great. I am already a fan of the Old Navy Rockstar High-Waist skinny jeans (with snap and zipper), and
    I bought the jeggings in my usual size. (I’m usually a 10 or 12, and I wear a
    12 in these jeans) They have a wide elastic waistband that doesn’t roll and
    they are heavy denim like real jeans but they have a high content of elastic
    and Lycra so they have a bit of compression that sucks you in. Unlike some
    jeans, they don’t “grow” throughout the day as you wear them – they hold their
    shape. Nice find, Tina, thanks!

    These are the ones that I got:

    http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=335271002

    The product page says that they are mid-rise, but they sit
    on my actual waist (I'm 5'5"). I got the regular length.

    I don’t enjoy shopping at Old Navy because the store is always
    such a mess and the jeans are all mixed up by size and color – it’s so frustrating
    and I will often walk out. And sometimes their stuff is full price in the
    store, but 20% - 40% off on the website, so it’s better to buy online. You can
    order several sizes with free shipping and easily return to the store what
    doesn’t fit.

    Thank you so much for this thread! I wear only skinny jeans, leggings and jeggings and was just looking through my closet the other day thinking about what needed replacing. I can't wear the low cut jeans, though, as I have narrow hips and those jeans want to slide right on down (LOL)! This thread, with all your info is so helpful. I'm going to head to Old Navy tomorrow to try some on. I'll check their website, too, for any sale prices to compare them to, as well. Thanks!!!

    I forgot about this thread. I want to check them out. I so very much dislike jean shopping. It doesn't help that there's not much available around here. I would love for someone else to find my clothes and I'll pay for them. - Or, hey, they can if they really want. :)

  • 9 years ago

    Wow - didn't realize this thread had revived and Ida, I'm sorry, I missed your question. They are true to size. I bought my regular size and also short length. I saw the other day they are on sale and am going to order another pair. I thought about the high waist ones, but I'm short-waisted, so they probably would be too high for me. I got the mid-rise and the come to my waist. I have noticed that the different finishes/colors are often different prices. Not sure why. I had mine on at work one day this week and got several compliments!

  • 9 years ago

    I really want to see these! I found the website difficult. Are the skinny//jeggings the only ones with elastic waists? I would like a high waist and long length.....do you know if they come that way? I may try to get to a store tomorrow. Thank you for your post!

    AHHHHH...jeans shopping. The worst, I swear. I did go to Old Navy and as usual it's a complete pain to try to find a sizes/styles/cuts etc etc. I did find that I like the Curvy fit jean tho. But of course I couldn't find the size and color I wanted. I found that I wore a size smaller, but that was in the jeans. I did try any jeggings. I also went to Kohls which I currently wear Apt 9 jeans I like and would buy more of. Again, the size I need I couldn't find. I was bummed because I had an additional 30% coupon that would have come handy. I had also hit up TJMaxx...out of 10 pair of jeans, I found 1 I liked but I didn't buy them because it was before I had made it to kohls hoping to find the Apt 9 jeans I like. Story is I bought zero jeans this weekend :-(

    I think I've heard about these on here before, but if you haven't tried them JAG Jeans makes a similar no zip flat front pull on jean that are flattering - at least to me. They sell them on zappos - free shipping and free return so you can try several on. Nora Pull On Skinny is what I like.

    Actually was going to stop at Old Navy today, but had to return something at Bj's first. Looked at their clothes, saw a pull-on Gloria Vanderbilt jean (skinny leg) with some sort of control feature, for $16.99. Bought a pair, even though I've never been a fan of GV clothing. They are very nice, and fit well, and quite a good buy, I think.

  • 9 years ago

    I did try on one pair of slip on or pull up jeans at Kohls. There were by Levi. They were nice but I didn't take too much time with them as I was so burnt at that point. I liked them because they weren't super slim fit on the bottom. They were a straight fit but not like a legging. I may revisit them or other slip ons down the road.

  • 9 years ago

    ETA: I shy away from legging/super slim fit because I'm a little knock knee'd and I look like a drumstick with tapered bottoms LOL
