A lot of things about adulthood have surprised me—how much mirrors cost, how quickly the vegetables in my fridge go bad, how I feel in the morning after drinking two glasses of wine.
But very few things have surprised me as much as Abercrombie jeans becoming my most-worn pants again at the ripe old age of 26.
It’s not a secret that Abercrombie & Fitch has done a complete rebrand and has had a comeback that very few retailers have managed to nail.
From their mission to their sizing to their clothes, the Abercrombie of today is a far cry from the one that you knew back in middle school (though we really did love it then too).
Now, it’s all grown up, and if you’ve been on social media in the past two years, you probably know that Abercrombie jeans are in the running for the most-loved on the internet.
With an affordable price tag, high quality, dozens of variations, and sizing that ensures anyone can find a pair that fits just right, Abercrombie jeans have gone viral for a good reason (and speaking from experience, they really do deserve the hype).
But with so many options, how do you know which pair is for you? That’s what me and my fellow editor Beth sought to answer.
Dad jeans, mom jeans, relaxed jeans, ’90s jeans—they all sound similar, and it can be hard to decide which you want for yourself (and what size is going to fit you best).
As women of the people, Beth and I ventured to our closest Abercrombie to try on every single pair they had, and broke down what makes them different, who they’re best for, and gave the nitty gritty on the sizing.

These are my own jeans that I’ve had for over a year that I wore to the store.
Of all my jeans, these are by far my most-worn.
They’re a thicker material that feel truly vintage, and it’s always been on my list to pick them up in more washes.
I’m 5’5″, and the regular length are the perfect full length on me without being so long they bunch up.
I also find them to be a classic straight fit, without the legs being too tight or veering into being wide-leg.
I find these to be some of the most flattering straight-leg jeans I’ve ever owned.
If I had to come up with a complaint about them, I don’t think I could.
I have dozens of jeans and reach for these almost every time I get dressed, and I think that says it all.
If you haven’t tried these, you would be doing yourself a favor to pick them up.
These truly rival options that are 2-3 times the price.

Hello, welcome to my bedroom! Unlike Abercrombie of decades past, the store does carry my size, but I think mine must be extremely popular.
This style (and a few others you’ll see M try on below) weren’t available in my size; luckily, I already had them tucked away with my jeans at home.
These were the first Abercrombie jeans I tried that started my love affair.
You’ll notice they look a little different th.
