Straight-legs, mom jeans, and Abercrombie & Fitch? No, you didn't just time travel back to the '90s, even though this collection will make you feel like you did.
I was only a tween when Abercrombie & Fitch was all the rage, but I remember it well. While many may think of the dark-fitting rooms, photos of shirtless models, and the smell of cologne in the air, I also used to associate the store with clothes I just couldn't squeeze into, no matter how hard I tried.
But now, Abercrombie & Fitch's new Curve Love collection has completely changed my perspective. Finally, the brand has embraced inclusivity and created a denim collection that caters to a wide range of sizes. From a 23 to a 37, and with options for extra short, short, regular, and long lengths, there's something for everyone.
The Collection as a Whole
Before diving into the specifics of each pair, let me share some overall notes about the jeans. The first thing that caught my attention was the quality of the denim. These jeans feel like they will last for years, as the material is super sturdy and thick. Whether you choose the A&F Vintage Stretch Denim, the A&F All Day Comfort Stretch Denim, or the A&F Signature Stretch Denim, the quality is evident.
In terms of fit, the jeans in the Curve Love collection are true to size. I decided to size up one size for a more comfortable fit, but many of the looser styles would have fit perfectly in my normal size. Keep in mind that the fabric molds to your body throughout the day, so the waistband may loosen up slightly, and baggier styles may become even more relaxed with wear.
Now, let's take a closer look at each style:

These may be the best jeans in the collection. The '90s style is perfect for both Gen Z and millennials. The ultra high-rise fit is flattering and slimming, emphasizing your waist.
The A&F Vintage Stretch Denim gives these jeans a sturdy feel, and they hold up well throughout the day without stretching out too much. The waistband is tight, so I recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
Sizes range from 23 to 37, and you have a variety of colors to choose from: light wash, dark wash, ripped light wash, and ripped black.
