Ever since K-Deer was kind enough to send me some of their leggings a few months ago, I’ve been hooked. I already had a soft spot for striped pants, but K-Deer takes it up a notch. At first, I was worried such bold stripes would look too clownish, but once I wore them, there was no going back. They are so bright and fun that it’s hard not to love how they look.
I wrote in a post a couple months ago that I was hoping Jamie stripe, a previously retired colorway, would be brought back to life. Well, my wish came true!!
Jamie stripe is the perfect color for my wardrobe. Besides neutrals, the colors I wear most are pink, purple, teal, and blue. In other words, the Jamie color scheme fits right in! I’ve really been loving K-Deer’s crop version, especially for summer, but I decided to buy full length Jamies to get the full effect of the pattern. The crop length is ideal for the single-color ombre colorways like Laura, Alexis, or Ellen. Also, by opting for legging-length, I can wear these to work with a dress and ankle boots.
All the same things I’ve said about K-Deer’s leggings are still true for Jamie. The fabric is very vibrant and doesn’t “white out” since there is no white backing on the fabric. K-Deer runs tight, so if you’re between sizes, you’ll want to size up. I wear a size 2 in lululemon and K-Deer’s XS fits me very well. Some of my other stripes have slight sheerness in a deep bend, but my pair of Jamies are opaque. Although the fabric is delicate, in 6 months of frequent wear I’ve yet to snag or damage any of my pairs.
Hopefully I didn’t just jinx it. :)
For this photoshoot, I brought my boys along for a little cameo appearance. Plus, they got an extra-special walk out of it. Two birds with one stone! By the way, ever tried to take pictures with dogs? Let me tell you, it is not an easy task, especially with two. They have very little interest in patiently posing for photos. Still the cutest models ever.
Get Jamie stripes
Jamie stripe is still available in all sizes on K-Deer’s site! As of right now, that’s the only place to get this color. Bandier and Carbon38 stock a limited number of other K-Deer styles as well.
P.S. Also wearing: the Glyder yogini “rescue” tank and Alala everyday hoodie.
O.M.G. i love your dogs. they need to make cameos in every photoshoot you do IMHO. the one where they are both looking up at you is the best.
i love the jamies too! i wanted them in the kids XL (which actually fit me much better cause of my long torso) but i waited ONE dang day and they were gone. shooooooot.
Aw darn. :( I imagine they don’t make very many kids sizes so they probably sell out quickly. IMO they’re worth the adult price though. :)
And aren’t they just so precious?! They are very skittish so taking pics anywhere but the house can be tough, but this time they were in such happy moods. :)
just had to share with someone who cares – when i was checking out k.deer’s new stripe tonight i noticed that jamies were back in stock in the kids XL. yessss…!!
i did not make the same mistake of waiting this time :)
Yessss!! Glad it worked out!
I just got my first pair of kdeer leggings! Ended up trying the kid’s jody stripe in size large–>they offer nice compression, and actually are a nice crop length on me. Was so excited I ordered the k deer laura strip crop from c38. Thanks for your reviews!
So glad you loved them, Jen! :) I hope you love the Lauras, too. I wear mine all the time!
Just ordered my first K-deers too. Thanks for all the K-deer reviews! I decided to go for the Jamie stripe in the capri length. I’m not the biggest fan of bunching up leggings at my ankle as it always feels itchy which happens a lot since I’m only 5ft 2in! Looking forward to having some bold stripes in my ever expanding workout closet!
Please let us know what you think of the crops! I’m 5’2” as well, and I’m debating about ordering the crops. I’d love to hear what you think!
My Jamie capris finally arrived and they are lush! These are definitely statement and AA is right that yo may not get the full effect of the stripes but since these are my first wild print pants I’m happy to take it easy. They are still pretty long and sit mid calf but I like this length. They definitely do run half size small so definitely take on board AA’s advice on sizing from her previous posts. I am so in love already! I hope you enjoy your Jamie’s!
Yay!!! So glad you like them. :)
Love the Jamie stripe! K-Deer is still on my wish list, but I think I’m finally going to order soon. I love so many it will be hard to decide which on to get though!
I think the Ellen or Jamie stripe would suit your color palette best. But, they also JUST released a new one (Erika stripe) today that has green, and benefits an animal welfare charity. :) So, definitely a good option too!
Oh Suzanne! Your reviews are ripping my wallet apart! Last time I ordered the sweatty betty palm leggings, which I love by the way (thanks for that review! ), and now I had to order the Jamie stripes after seeing your gorgeous pictures of them. I also got the harvest print ones which I’ve been eyeing for quite some time. :) Hope I love them IRL. Thanks again!
P.S. Your dogs are the cutest!
Sorry about that! Maybe I should post more ugly stuff to give people a break. :) I hope you love your K-Deer haul too!
Hi Suzanne! I received my K-deers and love them both. I was happy to find these new pairs were quite a few inches shorter than my old pairs. That was actually an improvement in my opinion, as the old ones were really long.
Can I ask what color blue is your energy bra in these pictures? It matches really well with the Jamie stripes and I’m trying to find something blue to wear with my pair that matches. Navy and hero blue are a bit off.
It’s harbor blue! A harbor RSYB just dropped on yesterday’s upload so if you can’t find an energy bra you’ve got options. :) It’s one of my most worn bras (goes with basically EVERYTHING I own) so I ended up buying the RSYB on top of my energy bra from last year!
Ok! Thanks, I’ll have a look. :)
