You have probably noticed that I’ve been wearing jeans a lot over the last few months (well, if you’re following me on Instagram you will have noticed), and that’s because it’s cold and jeans are easy. I know I’m not the only one who rocks the jeans and tee look on the regular!
I actually have two pair of jeans that look very similar but are different fits from the same brand, which means I can pretty much just wear all jeans all the time, right? That’s my logic, at least. The Warehouse gave me one pair each of their straight leg and skinny leg jeans from the Kate Madison range so I could road test them and let y’all know what I thought, and the verdict is in: I love them both!
The straight leg jeans are pretty self explanatory – a straight cut goes with almost anything and is great for everyday. I wear these with pretty much all kinds of top and prefer to pair them with sneakers. I think they’re a more casual look.
The skinny leg jeans are pretty much the same fit all over, but a bit more tapered around the calf and ankle. I have really big calves, so I never thought I’d be able to find skinny jeans that work for me. I’ve tried a few pairs before and some I couldn’t even get up to my knees because they were super skinny! These jeans have a bit more elastane in them, which means more stretch, so hello skinny jeans! I love pairing my skinnies with cosy sweaters and boots.

Do I have a favourite? Yes, absolutely – while I find them both super comfortable it is definitely the skinny leg jeans that I reach for first. Want to know what makes them so comfortable? Check out this video here to find out why they are so amazing – I start talking about the jeans at 18:03 and show what the skinny jeans look like on me.
I’ve just found the straight leg jeans are available in black, so I’ve bought a pair of those and can’t wait for them to arrive so that I can add them in to the denim rotation!

I am all about skinny jeans! I feel like they help streamline my silhouette and I prefer my tops/tees looser so I like the balance. I love the City Chic jeans that they brought out for body types – the hourglass pair was perfect for me because I have a very small waist compared to my boots & they have an Adjustable waistband! The only downside is they fade pretty quickly & that makes me sad because I love my den as dark as it can get!
I’ve never tried the CC jeans because they only ever seem to have apple jeans when I’m in store (and never in my size). I really want to though, I’ve heard so many good things about them!
I have the ones with the diagonal zips on faux front pockets. Most comfortable and best fitting jeans I’ve ever owned. $49 was great value for money <3
