Hi Dorlee! I have been wearing Cambio Jeans for years. In fact, I wore them to the Delta Meet in Boca, (white to the cocktail party & black to the BBQ) where I met you! They are the only brand I'll wear, actually. When Oprah put them on her "Favorite Things" list last Christmas, I wanted to tape her lips closed! Suddenly Cambios were much more difficult to find in stock!

They are not shaded. I have them in various colors and cuts, but they are very flattering and stretchy/comfy. You can get them at Saks, Nordstroms, and a few boutique stores. Cambio's website has a search feature to find a location near you. Yes, they are pricey, but the ones I have I wear frequently and they look nice for years, so the price can be factored out somewhat.

BTW, if a particular cut isn't flattering to you, try another. They seem to have at least one that works for each individual's unique body type. (The current cuts are named women's first names.) My local boutique has a sample book (materials/colors vary by season) and will order the fabric I want in the cut I choose direct from Cambio for the same ($150) price as the ones in stock. For me, it's like getting custom jeans that I know will fit and look good for years!

Hope that helped!
