It still clings, but there is too much of it.&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>This will be especially true if you have a curvy figure. If you are stick straight, you might be able to "get away" with sizing up on a thin, lightweight jean. But otherwise -- forget it.&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>What you need is a fabric with enough weight and/ or stiffness. Here, you have it. So it works. &nbsp; :)</p> <p>You also need a cut that allows for a bit of ease.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1189440 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 11:04:17 +0000 Inge 1189440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look absolutely fantastic, Sveta!

I will proudly wear those jeans as relaxed skinnies :-)</p> <p>Thank you all for validation and for the compliments :-)<br />Laura, belt works fine with those jeans, they are not too-too big. My Kut BF jeans however are heading into that "too big to wear comfortably with the belt" category :-(<br />Catnip, I hope you enjoy&nbsp;your new jeans . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188750 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 17:03:56 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1188750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea what to call them, but if I looked as good as you do in these photos, I'd never take them off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188746 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 16:59:46 +0000 Day Vies 1188746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the they look great side. They still have shape and don't appear to be falling off. I frequently buy my skinnies too big because I prefer a straight leg look. I especially love how you've styled your jeans with the petty's and the white jacket. This is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188738 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 16:50:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1188738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew I should have kept all my too big jeans when I lost weight! They look great in your pics. I find that the belt is the key to keeping oversized jeans in the right place - otherwise the crotch droops as you wear them and you're always tugging it up. I would imagine that the stopping point would be jeans that are so loose they can't be belted comfortably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188708 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 16:02:43 +0000 Catnip 1188708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I waited to respond until Angie did, and am so relieved.&nbsp; I bought a pair of jeans yesterday that fit the same way and have been wondering about them (will post shortly).&nbsp; Sveta, I think your jeans look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188702 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 15:53:13 +0000 Angie 1188702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A hundred thumbs up.

I usually figure if the fit of the&nbsp;pants doesn't annoy the heck out of me, it's all goodie :)</p> <p>I really like the way these fit you. I think they look great as relaxed skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188615 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 13:53:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1188615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fabulous on you Sveta - gorgeous casual outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188613 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 13:50:00 +0000 Suz 1188613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are great, Sveta. They fit a lot like my sized up J. Crew toothpick jeans fit on me. I consider those a "relaxed" skinny, and I love to wear them. Great save!! And yay for the weight loss!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188597 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 13:22:42 +0000 Jules 1188597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I think they are perfect.

I ended up with my first pair of faux BFs by hanging onto an old pair of David Kahn jeans that I had shrunk out of. I eventually ended up cutting them off to make clamdigger length shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188557 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 12:34:21 +0000 marianna 1188557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them.

To me the fit looks great! More fluid but still narrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-will-these-count-as-relaxed-skinnies-of-just-badly-fitting-jeans#post-1188420 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 04:56:47 +0000 Sveta 1188420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have bought these Paige straight leg jeans a couple of years ago. I sized up to 33 as at the time size 32 was too snug in the thighs for my liking.<br />Recently I have lost a bit of weight and they are quite big now: I can remove them without unzipping.<br />Do they qualify as "relaxed skinnies" look or are they just plainly too big and a bad fit now? I am still struggling to understand where one fit ends and another one starts </p>
