My Mom’s Restocking Her Go-To Amazon Jeans While They’re as Low as $12

My mom and I have been doing 75 Hard, a challenge that involves working out for 75 days straight — no days off. We are 15 days in and my mom has already dropped seven pounds. While this was her goal, she wasn’t expecting her body to change as fast as it did. Now, her new problem is that she can’t fit most of her clothes in her closet, which included her go-to Gloria Vanderbilt Classic Amanda High-Rise Tapered Jeans. Before she got in a tizzy about having to do a complete overhaul of her wardrobe again, I took to Amazon to check if they had the beloved style still available so I could surprise her with a new pair, and to my amazement, they’re on sale for a staggering 76 percent off. 

The high-rise jeans come in 15 shades, including black, white, medium, and dark wash, in sizes 6 to 26-plus. They feature a high-rise design and a close fit throughout the leg down to the ankle. There are five functional front and back pockets, a classic button and zipper fly closure, and are made from a cotton blend that offers a ton of stretch.

My mom’s been wearing more wide-leg jeans lately, but since starting 75 Hard she’s been reaching for more fitted styles like the Gloria Vanderbilt tapered jeans to show off her snatched figure — and this style does just that. The long length is great for wearing with heels, but also comes in a shorter option for those like my mom. She said they offer a “nice lift” around the bum and thigh, and they offer “a slimming and smoothing shapewear effect around the belly” with the high-rise coverage. They don’t dig into her stomach and the fabric offers lots of stretch, so they hug her body like a glove.

But the best thing about these jeans is how versatile they are for a range of occasions and seasons. Her everyday way of styling them in the winter is a fitted turtleneck and a pair of sneakers, and on a night out, she styles them with a flowy blouse, a leather moto jacket, and ankle booties. She says the fabric is substantial enough that it keeps her warm but also isn't too heavy you couldn’t wear it in the warmer months.
