(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, we're back with another episode
of Online, IRL,
and today, we're gonna be trying
Fashion Nova denim.
It's Fall, the temperatures are about to drop,
so you've got to get your denim closet tight.
Last time we did this, I had Denise Bidot come on
and try on some denim, but today, it's all me.
So get excited.
So today I'm choosing a couple of pairs of jeans
that we've seen celebrities try on because
I like to do a little bit of a comparison.
This pair...
Has been worn by the Amber Rose who
admittedly has a bit of
a curvier body than I do,
but as you know, Fashion Nova jeans
are supposed to work on curvy bodies.
At this point, you guys know how much I hate
when jeans don't have pockets,
and surprise, surprise...
These do not have a front pair of pockets;
they're fake.
Can someone please explain
why these don't have pockets?
What I will say about these jeans
is that they are more jegging than jeans,
which, if you like to stretch, you like to kick
a little bit, if you're gonna do some squats,
these are perfect.
I also love where they hit on my belly button.
They're just high enough that
I feel like I still have a bit of a torso,
but they are high enough so I feel sucked in.
I could eat a meal but still feel
like I could breathe afterwards, which,
all in all, is a win, right?
Who wore it better?
Me?
Or Amber Rose?
Just kidding, don't answer that.
Don't come for me, don't drag me,
I love Amber Rose, she's amazing.
On the website,
these are called Making Moves Jeans,
which, I assume is an ode to Cardi B, so,
hopefully when I wear them,
I turn into a boss bitch
and I make all the money
because I have these on my body.
Yeah, front pockets for all my money moves.
Can't wait.
What I also find really interesting
about these jeans is that they are size seven.
Three, five, seven, nine; that's junior sizing.
I am not a junior, I'm a grown ass woman.
Just looking at them, it seems like I should've
sized down.
So gotten a five instead of a seven, but
we'll see.
So, I was right, I should've sized down in these.
Look at this band, I can literally fold it over.
But, you know what, I think that that has to do
with the amount of stretch that's in them.
Now, do I feel any closer to making moves?
Sure.
I feel like Cardi B is in my body,
and I'm ready to make money moves with her.
But first, I have to size down.
I'm not the biggest fan of distressed denim,
but when I saw these on the website,
Nicki Minaj was wearing them,
so I said, "What the hell,
let me give them a shot."
As it turns out, they are super duper distressed.
Like, that's my whole arm going through one hole.
What's up ya'll?
Hey.
I don't know, we'll see what they look like.
I feel like my whole thigh
is going to peak through,
and that may be the look;
we'll have to give it a shot.
Guys.
You cannot tell me that this...
Is flattering.
It's not, I don't care what you say.
Ya'll are so nice and lovely to me,
and I love you for it, but like,
be honest with me, what do we think about this?
Why is this--
This part right here, why is that a trend?
Explain it to me in the comments.
Now for the good thing about these jeans,
once again they hit exactly
where I love a pair of jeans to hit.
Right at the belly button,
which means that you feel sucked in,
cinched at the waist,
and like you can conquer the world
in your stretchy jeans.
Fashion Nova called these
the Marathon Booty Lifting jeans, which...
I don't actually really know what that means,
I imagine it means it's gonna lift my butt
for a very long time,
make it look like I just ran a marathon,
or last for 26 miles.
It could mean anything, really.
All I wanna know,
is if my butt is gonna look high and tight
and like a little peach booty.
Does my booty look lifted?
Just kidding guys.
I don't know, I mean, you tell me;
do you think they look a little higher?
Do I have a peach booty?
Does the name live up to the hype?
Weigh in in the comments.
There's really not much else to say about these.
I think they're super stretchy,
which is great, but we know that that is what
Fashion Nova does.
It's more just about the butt, and giving you
that sort of peach shape, and it seems like
it's accomplished it, but, I mean, tbh?
I already have a bit of a butt,
and it's a little high already--
I'm doin' my squats, thank you very much.
So, I don't know if I am going from A to B,
B to C...
I don't know, you guys weigh in.
So, I've played myself that last few times
I've tried to get some Bermuda shorts,
I'm gonna be very honest with you guys,
but, this time I read the make up,
and these are 75% cotton, and 2% Spandex,
which means they should stretch,
and fit over my thighs.
Over the course of this series,
I think I've tried biker shorts...
Four times, maybe, and it doesn't exactly
pan out each time, so I'm excited to see
if these will work.
Surprise, surprise, I don't hate the way
that these fit.
The thing that I don't love, though,
is that they are distressed, so it would seem
that next time I got shopping on Fashion Nova,
I should look for a pair just like these,
but without the distressing.
I love where they hit right about my knee,
and I like that this denim feels a little thick,
and once again, hits right at the belly button, so
all in all, they fit really well,
it's just that the distressing
is not for me personally.
For all you babes on a budget out there,
I've also chosen a pair of jeans
for under 20 dollars.
Listen, I understand that everyone's pockets
are not made the same.
You guys know that I'm not big
into distressed denim, so searching for
a clean pair jeans took forever.
For-
ev-
er.
I don't get it, Fashion Nova has thousands
and thousands of jean that are ripped and torn,
but why not just a nice pair like this?
But that's why I'm here.
I did the search for you guys.
Now, you may be wondering,
"Why doesn't Nikki have her pants buttoned?"
Guys, it's because they don't fit.
And, what I will say, is that I bought
a size seven, which on the site says they're 28,
but after inspecting the label,
it only has 1% stretch, which may be the issue.
Also, sometimes you just get what you pay for,
honestly, these are, you know, under 20 dollars,
which means the quality may not be that high.
So, I think often times, you guys should order
a couple sizes, to see how they fit,
or just invest a little more
in a great pair of jeans that will last you
a long time.
I decided to choose a pair of flare jeans
because they'll never actually go out of style.
You may wanna like, toss them in the back
of your closet for a little bit,
but I promise you, you will always find yourself
reaching for another pair.
This pair is more of a bell-bottom
than an actual flare,
which I wasn't expecting.
But, you know, with a heel or a platform,
they may look great.
These remind me of the kind of jeans
that I used to DIY in middle school, so,
it's like you took one panel and then inserted it
into another pair of jeans,
and made like a Frankenstein flare.
If you're into this sort of two tone,
than maybe these are the flares for you.
The flare also feels
a little too wide to be modern.
If I were designing these,
I would have made the flare slightly smaller
so it looks more late 2000's than early 2000's.
All in all, not the jeans for me.
Well, that's it from me, guys.
Let me know what you thought of all of these
Fashion Nova jeans in the comments,
and I'll see you next week.
