Cigarettes

Cigarette jean from AG. Waiting for it to go down in price. The trick is to manage to get your size by then. A cigarette is a cross between a skinny & a straight. From the knee down, it's straight. They're made for any shoe and of course....boots.

Cigarette jeans are my skinny. Great colors since it's AG

This one is called Sulfur Mint Sapphire

This one is called Legacy

This is called the B2

This is called Valient

Canyon Ridge

This is called Sulfer City Shadow

This is New Cork

@songbird Happy to hear the clarification between cigarette jeans and skinny jeans. The black and white striped ones have my name on them. Thanks.

Ha. Saw the topic and wondered why cigarettes were a topic for fashion. I love slim pants and leggings, but I also like wider pants, especially for travel.

sapphire pair is pretty. I just wear pull ons.

@StylishLady Kinda forgot what pants I wore for travel. Lol Most likely I wore my comfy, knit yoga pants which are a looser fit than leggings, not 100% cotton, so no baggy knees or butt when you get off plane or out of car.

Ooooooou, I'm liking the Legacy (pin striped grey).

Some of the others are cut a but too low (for me), but I would like them on others.

I like this style in jeans. The 1st photo looks like a good length also.

From the pics, I don't see a difference between these and my skinnys. And I agree that they have more of a low-rise than I prefer. I like about a 9 to 9 1/2 rise.

I absolutely LOVE the look of black pants and black turtleneck (wear it often) but these look a lot more like "jeggings" than cigarette pants.

I like pants with narrow/skinny legs - just not so close fitting - and with a minimum amount of stretch / spandex. I've basically given up on knit pants. Only buying woven fabrics from here on.

These are from Theory - a better fit.

Theory ...one of my favorite companies for clothing. I agree @ALRATIBA .

i still don't understand the difference btwn skinny & cig...i know you said they are straight from the knee down...but the way they hug the calf...they seem more skinny then straight

Re: Cigarettes

songbird — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 22:34:02 GMT

@alohakz They look like more skinny in that particular picture, but I own them, & trust me. The leg opening of a skinny is 10" the leg opening of a cigarette is 11"-12" I own skinny, cigarette, straight, flare & wide. The only jean style I don't own is the boot cut. I like them all, but my favorite is the cigarette. The cigarette is actually older then the skinny. I don't wear the stretch pull ons (like they sell on QVC) & I don't wear leggings. I'm thin and can pull off wearing them. I like real jeans with a zipper or button closure. 100% Supima cotton or 98%. I wear them all. And of course...American made.

@alohakz probably depends on the wearer's calf. My calf is bigger than my knee (as you can see in some of the models), so if a pant is straight down from the knee, it will hug the calf.

I like the pants to go all the way down to the shoes. Not all the ones shown do. I have small ankles and shapely calves, so a pant that is straight down from the knee may then look like the pants stick out at the ankles. I don't like that look on me. Hard to get a good fit in skinny/cigarette pants without paying for alterations. Boot cut or slight bootcut down to the shoe gives a more finished look without alterations.

I wear mostly NYDJ jeans. So, translated to that brand, skinnies are "Ami," and cigarettes are "Alina." I have been buying the Amis lately, as they seem to fit me best.

These look more like jeggins to me. They stick to the skin - yuck. I hate jeggings. When I wear jeans, I want jeans. Straight leg, a little room between fabric and skin.
