Hi JCrew-holics,
I need a little help with sizing. I want to try their denim - Matchstick and Toothpick. It'll be my first pair! So excited!
What is the fit difference? What body figure do they flatter? Do they fit TTS?
Does the retail matchsticks fit the similar to their factory cropped skinnies? I'm a 27 in Joes Jeans. What size would you recommend I go with?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi- J. Crew jeans are very trial-and-error for me, size-wise. I don't love the Toothpicks on me. The skinny bottom and fitted top tend to emphasize my problem areas. The Matchsticks look much better on me - still a skinny jean look but not as skinny as the Toothpicks. I like the crop on the Toothpicks, and you won't get that with the Matchsticks. I can wear a 28 or 29 in Matchsticks, but need a 29 in Toothpicks (I'm 29 in their Bootcuts as well). Overall, I look more balanced in the Matchsticks and look a bit bulky in the middle in the Toothpicks. I'm an "apple" body type and I think the dark wash Matchsticks work best on me.

The sizing is all over the place in their jeans. I'd probably go with your Joes size, or even up of you get a high waisted pair. I don't find them to be flattering at all except for the cropped toothpick pair and even those aren't great. They all fall down after a while and fit my strangely in the crotch area. I haven't gotten a pair in a year though so maybe they have improved. I much prefer my premium denim (joes and 7).
They do currently have a pair of The Jean Shop jeans as a collaboration that I love and plan on buying when they go on sale, but they don't fit like J.Crew brand jeans, and run at least a full size small.
May I ask how much was the sale price for the tippi sweater and the jackie cardigans? My J. crew is kind of far, and I was wondering if it is worth it to go there.
I just bought the Tippi sweater at J. Crew today. It was marked $49.99 but it rang up for $29.99 and with the extra 30% off and my educator discount it came out to $17 and some change! They had a bunch of the Tippi sweaters at my store. It might be worth it to take a trip!
Thank you for this. I will definitely head out to the store now. Do you know how long the sale will last for?

Tippi was around $25 and the Jackies were $12 in store, $22 online at the time
I also have the 15% student discount so that helped but they were great prices!
has anyone seen a maritime stripe blazer in white/navy in a M anywhere? i had bought one similar at mango but it was too big and now am on the hunt for something similar.... thanks 
I bought the Olympia suede sandals in both black and grappa punch... super comfy (a must for walking 38348372 city blocks)... I love them!! 
Needed a pick me up (in the form of a multicolored sequin mini 
) which I dressed down with the grappa punch sandals this wknd.
Size wise, I'd say they're TTS!
