Since they're white, you'll be able to see every wrinkle and line. That's OK! &nbsp;Since they're a perfect fit in the waist, and the length is perfect, I would keep and wear immediately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1394253 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:20:47 +0000 Sveta 1394253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your opinions!<br />Angie, they are comfortable and already stretched a bit compared to out of the bag. The fabric is not as thick as in BR cream skinnies but approximately the same weight as my Madewell skinnies.<br />Una, it is funny that you say that - it was my first thought when I saw the pictures too. By measurements the circumference of my shoulders and hips is the same but shoulders are a bit wider across now than the hips. Interestingly the ratio of hips / waist did not change at all - I lost the same number of inches in both :-)<br />IK, thank you - of course I don't mind. Fitting jeans and pants in general is such a pain for me that I will be glad to hear the pro particulars. I think one of the reasons why it is hard for me to decide if this is a good fit or not is because I am so used to a fluid fit ( to Elizabeth P point) it is hard for me to assess the skinny fit anymore. </p> <p>I would love if Angie can chime in with an answer for IK question or I amy even start a new thread for this...curious!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1394211 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 21:29:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1394211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A BIG YAY from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1394021 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:20:03 +0000 eds 1394021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great. White is tough...too snug is so much more obvious than darker colors, but too much stretch/bagginess feels sloppy with white so quickly!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1394017 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:14:19 +0000 ironkurtin 1394017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, these don't look perfect to me at all. &nbsp;I would have said pass for what looks like that&nbsp;wrinkly&nbsp;bagginess on the legs, and advise Sveta to keep looking in a thicker fabric.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would love to know what makes these look so good to your eye.</p> <p>Sveta, I hope you don't mind me asking. I always think of you as elegant and statuesque, and I am sure you will rock these jeans IRL.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1394012 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:11:08 +0000 Carole 1394012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great to me, perfect length...not an easy thing to find, am I right?</p> <p>Relax-enjoy:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1394008 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:06:24 +0000 pastrygirl 1394008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great! I would wear them like that, without a second thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393968 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:35:05 +0000 Lisa 1393968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of these. &nbsp;They don't look skin tight to my eye. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393963 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:02:40 +0000 Elizabeth P 1393963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look good Sveta.&nbsp; It IS a different silhouette than we typiclaly see you in, so there is some adjusting maybe.&nbsp; You might want to wear them for a half hour or so to see if they relax/stretch.&nbsp; then post another pic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393952 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:38:25 +0000 Suz 1393952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that front whiskering will relax some, and it always shows up a bit more with white jeans, I think. My Kuts do a similar thing and it is not about the rise length at all -- it shows up more in photos than IRL.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393949 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:35:05 +0000 texstyle 1393949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look really good on you Sveta - if they feel good and you're only concerned due to the wrinkling, I'd say keep because pretty much all white jeans seem to have more obvious wrinkling. If the wrinkling is feeling weird or bunchy, that's a different story. I kind of wish I had sized down on my BR cream jeans because they feel a little too roomy. Even so, they still have some obvious wrinkling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393850 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 08:05:04 +0000 Deb 1393850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too Sveta and they appear to fit you well. Perhaps part of it is the fact that you often wear a looser fit pant and these may be an adjustment for you. You wouldn't want them to shrink though, so I'd avoid hot water or the dryer with them. Jeans usually 'give' a little over time, so they should feel even more comfortable with wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393847 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 07:27:36 +0000 CocoLion 1393847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look amazing on you. &nbsp;And Sveta, your body type has really changed since a few years ago. &nbsp;You used to be and hourglass / pear now you are an hourglass / IT. &nbsp;No pear at all, but then maybe you never were a pear you just thought you were. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393838 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 06:44:05 +0000 catgirl 1393838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the length and since Angie has spoken, I will admit that I would have said these seem to fit but not as well as your other jeans to my eye. She has seen you and these pants in person so pay me no mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393836 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 06:29:56 +0000 Eliza 1393836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta- is the rise comfortable? I sometimes find that pants don't lay the way I like due to the rise feeling a bit short. This may not be your issue if the pants are talls. </p> <p>They look great on you. Part of it is how you want them to fit. You wear them well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393827 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 05:15:54 +0000 Anonymous 1393827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to ask about stretch since they are so close. Have you tried wearing them around the house for a few hours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393807 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 04:38:04 +0000 Ariadne 1393807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393736 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 01:42:29 +0000 Angie 1393736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't. I think they will stretch. They are comfy, aren't they?&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393734 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 01:39:37 +0000 Sveta 1393734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for you replies. I was leaning towards returning based on the feedback and then - BOOM - Angie gave her approval :-)<br />Angie, they are Tall so length is good. So you are not bothering with the wiskering in the front and don't think I should try to size up? That would be quite a relief if I do not have to order another size or go back to the hunt again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393727 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 01:30:12 +0000 Angie 1393727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look GREAT. My thumbs are up. LOOK AT THE LENGTH. Wooohoooo. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393684 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 23:58:28 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1393684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I think they look quite good (especially the backside) but perhaps not quite a 10. &nbsp;How perfect do they need to be?</p> <p>I agree with Lisa. &nbsp;White jeans are hard to get just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393683 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 23:55:10 +0000 unfrumped 1393683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree these don't seem to be "the one". I agree about the pulling, so they may be cut&nbsp;just a tad too straight,&nbsp;&nbsp;but overall I'm basing it on a lot of other pants outfits you've posted that just look really good on you, so I think it's just the cut of these is not quite up to your fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393669 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 23:13:25 +0000 Anonymous 1393669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joyce - they look like they are pulling across the front in the fly area. &nbsp;It might be just the way they look, but it does appear that they are a little snug.</p> <p>As much as many of the forum members love white jeans, I find they often aren't the most flattering things going - and I think it's purely because of the colour magnifying everything and making jeans look tight when they may not be. &nbsp;Just a personal thought... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393659 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 22:55:13 +0000 Joyce B 1393659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good but I think you can do much better. Something about the front view is not 100% to me but I cannot explain it better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393655 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 22:47:06 +0000 Sal 1393655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't answer about the exact jeans as I don't own any J Crew items.     A perfect fit in the waist is a plus!!  And they look good and no sagginess on the bottom.</p> <p>But if you are sitting on the fence then this to me shows that they are not right.  I tend to KNOW when I love a piece, rather than need to be convinced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-how-these-jeans-should-fit#post-1393628 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 22:10:39 +0000 Sveta 1393628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JCrew white Reid jeans have arrived and I am not sure if they are the right fit. They feel the same way my Madewell jeans fit (except that Madewell are a bit roomier in the waist - these Reid jeans are a perfect fit in the waist). However they do look tighter to my eye because they are white!<br />I am looking for an advice: should I try size up or is this the correct size - or maybe this is not the right cut for me altogether?<br />Thanks in advance - it has been a week since I got them and I cannot decide. My hopes for YLF wisdom are very high now!</p> <p> </p>
