Review: 5 Premium Women's Gap Jeans Styles

When you think of The Gap, jeans probably come to mind. Known for their casual yet stylish clothing, Gap jeans have been an American clothing staple for decades. Here's a look at five different women's Gap Premium jeans styles available for 2009/2010 winter fashion season.

Gap Always Skinny Premium Jeans
Gap's Always Skinny jeans are available in three washes (black, medium, and saturated dark) and two additional styles (medium rise and deconstructed). Prices range from 59.50 to $69.50. These jeans are made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex, so they have a little bit of stretch in them for a close-fitting yet comfortable fit. Unlike most jeans with stretch, Gap's Always Skinny jeans retain their shape and won't sag out after wearing. Plus, they're designed to eliminate that annoying gap in the back of the waistband.
These jeans are available in all Gap sizes 00-20 and come in all lengths (ankle, regular, and long) and all variations (regular, petite, and tall). These are the perfect jeans to wear if you're planning on tucking your jeans into boots.

Gap Sexy Boot Premium Jeans
Bootcut jeans have been in style throughout this decade and continue to be a fashion staple in every woman's wardrobe. Gap's Sexy Bootcut jeans flatter almost everyone by appearing to lengthen the leg and slim the hips. They're slim- fitting through the hip and thigh and slightly flare out near the calves. These jeans are made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex and have a low-rise countered waistband to eliminate the gap in the back of the waistband. Available in four different washes (medium blue, saturated dark, gray, and light wash), you'll probably find a color that suits your needs. Prices range from $59.50 - $69.50, depending on the wash. Available in regular, petite, and tall.

Gap Curvy Premium Jeans
Gap's Curvy jeans are cut more generously through the hips, rear, and thighs. Don't let that scare you off - they're still very flattering. If you're a pear-shape, Gap's Curvy jeans will hug and flatter your curves. Plus, the bootcut leg works well with almost every outfit. Denim is 98% cotton and 2% spandex, and because these jeans are from Gap's "Premium" line, they will retain their shape when you wear them. Three washes are available - medium, black, and saturated dark. Prices are $59.50 to $69.50. Available in regular, petite, and tall.

Gap Skinny Ankle Zip Premium Jeans
The '80s are back! Skinny jeans aren't totally '80s without the ankle zipper. Gap offers these ankle zip skinny jeans in two colors, Vineyard and Comet Blue. At $69.50, they're a bit on the pricey side for trend-setting jeans, but they're from Gap's Premium denim line, so you know they're good quality and will last for years, even when the ankle zipper is out! Other features of these Gap jeans include a zip fly with button closure, front and back pockets, and a 98% cotton/2% spandex fabric for a comfy fit.

Gap Long and Lean Premium Jeans
Gap's Long and Lean denim line has been around for years - and there's reason - its easy, comfortable fit and flattering style. If you're short, don't let the "Long and Lean" name fool you - it refers to the jean's leg lengthening qualities, not that it's only for tall ladies. These premium Gap jeans feature a comfortable wide leg, a mid-rise, five pocket detailing, and zip fly with a button closure. However, please note that Gap has changed the style of the Long and Lean jeans, so if you wore these jeans in years past, you'll definitely feel a difference. These jeans feel lighter, have a longer length, and fit much bigger than the previous versions. You might need to size down. Price is $69.50.
