THE MOM EDIT
I've been curious about Gap's girlfriend jeans for a while - on paper (errr, screen?) they seemed like the perfect departure from skinnies or high-waisted jeans - slouchy enough to be cool and comfy, slim enough to flatter, and a practical, crowd-pleasing mid-rise that doesn’t immediately call to mind ye ole muffin top situation.
So I picked them up - and low and behold! They're GOOD. Even more unexpectedly, they're eerily similar to my rag & bone Dre Slim Boyfriend jeans, which just happen to be the jeans I’ve worn most consistently over the past 6 months. Similar enough, in fact, to inspire a side-by-side comparison, and here’s what I found out:
HOW GAP GIRLFRIEND JEANS & rag & bone DRE JEANS ARE SIMILAR:
The fit, wash, and fabrication are all verrrrry close. Neither pair is anywhere near high rise; they are both a perfectly worn (but not at all distressed) classic indigo wash; and both are hip slung, flattering and just…effortlessly cool. Both jeans fit genuinely true to size (I’m wearing a 25 in both, though I have heard some people claim that the rag & bones run a size large on them). And they’re soft!
HOW GAP GIRLFRIEND JEANS & rag & bone DRE JEANS ARE DIFFERENT:
Here’s where they differ: The rag & bone have larger rear pockets. While both jeans flatter the bum quite nicely, the rag & bone pockets seem to do more for the specific shape of my bum; the Gap girlfriend jeans, however, fit juuuust a bit more snug on the bum, which (despite the smaller pockets) might be more universally appealing. The rag & bone jeans also sit just a bit lower - they’re still not the low rise we might remember from the 00’s, but it’s noticeable when I try the two side by side. And while they’re both soft and comfy, the rag & bone Dre Slim Boyfriend Jeans are just a bit softer. They feel genuinely borrowed or broken-in, with an almost thrifted butteriness - like someone has lived in them. I love that, but that broken-in wash might also explain the next, most significant difference: the price. rag & bone jeans routinely retail for $200+ (even on sale, they rarely dip below $100); the Gap girlfriend jeans are $69, full-price and are often on sale.
