SHOPPING for jeans can be a frustrating, time-consuming practice, but one fashion blogger made it seem effortless.
Her review of the plus-size styles at Old Navy turned up some closet staples, as well as some trendy surprises that shoppers will want to bring home ASAP.
Bria Kole reviews fashion and beauty products on her YouTube channel, including the latest denim styles from Old Navy.
Kole tried on everything from classic skinny jeans to trendy high-waisted styles, and she was surprised by which ones impressed her most.
She started off with the Kicker Boot-Cut style, with super-snug denim that wouldn't go over her hips.
But Kole had better luck with the next pair, Old Navy's O.G. Straight jeans in a size 24.

"I do not think that I ever picked up straight-legged jeans because I didn't think they would fit me," Kole said.
"Imagine my surprise when these actually fit quite nicely."
The light-wash jeans were comfortable, fitted nicely in the hips and sides while still giving Kole room to breathe. They even passed her "squat test" and weren't stiff or in danger of ripping when she dropped to the ground.
"If you're on the fence about trying straight-leg jeans, you might want to give Old Navy a shot," the blogger advised.

Next, she picked a pair of black Rockstar Super Skinny jeans in the same size.
"I actually struggled getting these halfway up my leg," Kole said.
Even though they were also a size 24, the tight fabric of the skinnies didn't allow for a perfect fit. "The fit wasn't for my body type," Kole summarized.
She had better luck with another pair of the Kicker Boot Cut jeans, this pair in a mid-rise style.
"I did feel like I was going to struggle to get these zipped and buttoned," Kole admitted, but she ended up having no problem.
The jeans fit but weren't quite her style. "I think that I've tried on jeans that are a better fit for my body type," she mused.
Then, she pulled out a high-rise version of the O.G. Straight jeans. Like every other pair Kole tried on, they were a size 24.
"These were my favorite pair of jeans that I had tried on in a very long time," Kole enthused.
They were comfortable, flattering, and versatile. "These are so adorable, you guys," Kole told the camera. "Look how great they look on me."
Her streak of good luck continued with a pair of O.G. Loose jeans, with a super-relaxed fit and stylish distressing throughout the leg.
"It's so crazy, because I hardly ever would reach for high-rise jeans," Kole admitted.
She fell in love with the loose-fit, high-rise denim.
"This is my second-favorite pair I've tried on here today," she said. Kole emphasized that the jeans were super comfy while still being flattering, especially from the back.

"Try Old Navy," Kole suggested. "Give them a chance."
