I considered ordering a size down, but I’m afraid the smaller size would be too snug in the hips and I would lose the “palazzo” look of the jeans. They might be a smidge big in the waist, but that is a fairly simple alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1/page/2#post-2352757 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 18:00:57 +0000 slim cat 2352757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both blue jeans - great for spring!

The devil is in the detail ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>The black jeans are bootcuts (#18) - and meant to be longer if sported at a classic regular length. They look a little short for that to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>The blue jeans are wide crops (#10) - and meant to be shorter. They look right at that ankle length. They are not full length.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope that make sense :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352693 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 02:29:50 +0000 Jenni NZ 2352693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, really sorry- but how can you say that the Frame jeans (pic 10) are a better length with the shoes than the black jeans (pic 18)? It looks to me that the black jeans show less of her cream Oxfords-you can’t see as much of the laces- than the Frames? Yet you say it’s the black ones that look too short with the shoes? I just don’t understand?<br /> ( Sorry Erin if this is a derailment of your thread!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352691 Wed, 14 Feb 2024 02:21:05 +0000 Angie 2352691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for adding the shoes,<b> Erin</b> :)</p> <p>Both blue pairs of jeans look KILLER to my eye - IF you don't think they are too roomy and need a size down.

But it’s such a small difference that I think it’s likely OK, it shows all the shoes off nicely which I (as a self-proclaimed shoe girl) like to do!<br /> I still love the black jeans with all the shoes too.<br /> I like the wide legs better now I see them with shoes.<br /> Lots of things to think about, eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352563 Mon, 12 Feb 2024 22:52:05 +0000 Style Fan 2352563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Frame jeans.&nbsp; They look great with your footwear.&nbsp; I also like the striped top and brown boots together.&nbsp; If you had a brown belt, that would look good.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I shared Janet's concern about the length, but it works for you.&nbsp; I am curious how the Paige jeans look.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352549 Mon, 12 Feb 2024 20:52:36 +0000 Erin 2352549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the great feedback! I appreciate every bit of it! I’ve added some photos of all of the jeans with shoes. Photos 10-15 are the Frame jeans. Photos 16, 17, 22 &amp; 23 are the Gap wide leg jeans. Photos 18-21 are the Gap flares. I think the Gap wide legs are just a bit too wide for me right now. I also think I need to order a 31 in the Gap flares for comparison, but I don’t think I’m going to order them right now since I’d like to focus on lighter colors and a more relaxed fit on the thighs for warmer weather. My favorite are the Frame jeans, but I share others concerns about the length. I have ordered the Paige Sasha high rise straight/wide leg in both a 30 and a 31. I am hoping they will be similar to the Frame jeans, but with a longer inseam (34.5”). I’m a little concerned that the rise will be too high (11.75”), but it doesn’t hurt to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352534 Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:47:41 +0000 Janet 2352534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not reading the other responses first, so here’s my unbiased feedback. ;-)</p> <p>The fit of the first pair is really nice but the length would drive me nuts. I’m 3” shorter than you but have a long inseam and just can’t get on the “shorter full length” bandwagon — I feel awkward in that length. So I may be projecting here but make sure you can work with that before committing. Try them on with all the footwear you’d be wearing with them. </p> <p>The second pair is nice. I like a washed black color but make sure it’s what you want. </p> <p>I love the ease of the third pair — my favorite jeans lately fit like this, but I suspect many here will think they look too loose and big. It’s a specific look that I really love, and works great with more fitted tops. </p> <p>Again, I think styling is key, and I think you need to try each on, styled with tops and footwear. Are you looking for versatility? Each of these has a different vibe — I’d make sure you’re getting the vibe you want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352526 Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:37:25 +0000 Helena 2352526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help because they all look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352518 Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:00:06 +0000 lyn67 2352518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear jeans often but really&nbsp; think all the 3 look fab on You-different cuts and for different functions, but all gorgeous-you are a lucky girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352497 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 23:43:56 +0000 Anonymous 2352497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second pair most too- probably cause the dark color reads dressier to me. Lets see them all with shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352490 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 20:50:54 +0000 Kyle 2352490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t tell for sure without seeing them with shoes. I will say the first pair in photo #1 &nbsp;seem like they could be a bit too short. I guess I’m in the minority, but I very much like the black Gap jeans in photo #s 4/5/6. &nbsp;I’m maybe partial to them because I have them, too. I think they really flatter you, possibly even more than the others.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>You and I have very similar shapes! We are the same height and have the same hip measurement, but my waist is bigger than yours. I also wear a 30 or 31 and almost always need a tall or long length. My Gap flares are 31. I think I need the larger size to accommodate my waist. Let us know what you decide!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352459 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 15:56:49 +0000 Angie 2352459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you post,<b> Erin</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>Pair #1 = KILLER. LOVE!&nbsp;</p> <p>Pair #2 is fab! Make sure the jeans are long enough with shoes, though. You might want an extra few inches.</p> <p>Pair #3 is a fun fit! On trend.&nbsp;</p> <p>If the waist gapes at the back - it's an easy alteration!</p> <p>That said, it's ALWAYS good to compare sizes, so try a size down on #1 and #3 - just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352448 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 13:28:12 +0000 bookish 2352448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the first pair, because the fit is great on you and they look a little dressier than the Gap wide legs, though I wonder what footwear would work well with that shorter length. I just ordered both pairs of Gap jeans you are wearing here (also in a size 31) so thank you for the preview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352446 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 11:59:23 +0000 April 2352446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I am feeling totally over the whole look of whiskering in the front, my suggestion is to look for a solid wash if you can find it. I just ordered and am keeping a pair of unwhiskered wide-legs from Unpublished, which would absolutely have the "heavier denim" problem you mention with the Gap wide legs.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, I'm sure we're all breathlessly awaiting the verdict of our fearless blonde leader...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352444 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 07:04:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2352444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Frame or the black flares on you. The black fits at the back the best to my eye. I’m not personally a wide leg fan though so that might be influencing my not liking those as much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352443 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 06:29:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2352443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black look like the best fit to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352438 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 05:24:10 +0000 Carol 2352438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those darker ones in the last few photos are quite flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352437 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 05:17:56 +0000 rachylou 2352437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the black fit the best but they are not the most current cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352428 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 02:56:08 +0000 Jaime 2352428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going against the crowd but I really like the second pair (the black flares that really look more like bootcuts to me). I think this style is coming back. Or maybe that is wishful thinking. I like the fit of the first pair but wish they were longer. Would like to see them with shoes. Do not like the fit of the last pair. I think they are meant to sit lower on your hip but regardless I prefer the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352421 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 01:57:47 +0000 Carla 2352421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first set (#1-3) are my favourites. &nbsp;I agree the length is not floor grazing, but rather ‘the new full length’. &nbsp;Would like to see with footwear. &nbsp;</p> <p><div>The last set, (#7-9) are very good as well, and look proper floor length!</div><div><br /></div><div>*Not a fan of the darker flared set.

To me they are different and would serve different functions. But I would like to see both with footwear! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>In my experience if you wear jeans frequently, a high quality pair can be a good wardrobe investment. But only if the fit and style are just right for your needs and the level of trendiness you prefer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352412 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 00:09:02 +0000 notsaf 2352412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Irina and Style Fan. The first pair look great on you and (to me) seem more classic than the other two in their style and wash. I particularly like the rise on you. I'm a huge fan of Frame denim quality: they will last and last, which is not always the case with Gap denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352411 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 00:05:30 +0000 kkards 2352411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally hear you on the waist being a smidge to big—I also have that issue and get many/most of my jeans taken in. I personally have found Levi’s 501s to fit really well with no need to take on the waist, YMMV. &nbsp;<div><br /><div>My favorites here are #7-9. &nbsp;Length is fab, and I love the long leg line that they create. . &nbsp;</div><div>The 1st pair fit well, but I struggle with the same thing, the length just feels either not long enough or not short enough, of course hemming or cuffing could be an option&nbsp;<br />I personally have a poison eye for faded black jeans, so no comment on those.&nbsp;</div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-forum-members-1#post-2352406 Sat, 10 Feb 2024 23:45:27 +0000 Style Fan 2352406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans in the first three pictures.&nbsp; I am assuming they are the Frame.&nbsp; I would like to see them in your shoes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I sympathize with finding jeans that fit in the waist and are long enough. </p>
