Just the right amount of easiness.<br />I sympathize with size-choices, though, because I am clueless about how to anticipate stretching and shrinking. I hate trying to anticipate that---buying the size that looks wrong now so it will look right later. Hopefully these will stay right--they look perfect on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-921103 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:42:02 +0000 Marigold 921103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them!

I also never thought I would wear this trend, and now I'm loving it. I just wore mine yesterday. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920643 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:14:38 +0000 Scarlet 920643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay, I have cut the tags. They are mine all mine!<br /><br />ETA: I realized too that I can adjust the fit quite a bit by wearing them higher or lower on my waist, depending on what I want. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920273 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:23:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 920273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These look great on you Scarlet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920240 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:18:44 +0000 claracluck 920240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ boyfriend nectar!perfection. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920236 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:12:49 +0000 Carole 920236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic fit! Yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920199 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:18:38 +0000 Scarlet 920199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I am happy to get this positive feedback because these jeans are one of those things where once you have them on you don't really want to take them off. They are definitely going to have some give and get baggier the more I wear them though. I hope this really is the right size.</p> <p>Sarah, that's a good point. I think it may be actually the big belt I am wearing that is hiding how long the rise is as well as possibly the particular POV of the photo.</p> <p>Gaylene, you have my thought process down to a T. Yes, I think I need to spend some time putting outfits together at home so that these hopefully become a no-brainer quickly. I was curious to find out what my husband had to say to these. I was expecting him to say they are ridiculous, but he didn't. I asked him if he wouldn't mind even when they get baggier and baggier, and he said, hmm, that's not your usual style. You might have to put on your rapper necklace with them. (I have a chunky gold necklace, which he actually refers to as my "rabbit" necklace, meaning rapper. Not a native English speaker.)</p> <p>Sveta, I read a quote from a blogger that says she loves her BFs so much that she has now had more jeans than actual boyfriends </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920154 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:53:08 +0000 Gaylene 920154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First, Scarlet, those jeans look adorable on you. I mean, when Angie gives you an 11/10, that seals that question.<br /><br />BUT, I do understand the hesitation when you look into the mirror--the "<i>hmm, not bad; I kind of like this look--who would have thought? Whoa, maybe <b>I'</b><b>m </b>just thinking that and everyone else who sees me is going to double over laughing. Maybe time to re-think this whole idea while I can still return these. BUT, others are wearing them... Yes, but I don't need to follow the crowd...But they are kind of cute and are SO comfortable...</i>" scenario.<br /><br />My solution was to follow ALL of Angie's tips for putting the outfit together. That was the magic. By themselves, my slouchy khakis looked a bit weird, but, it was when I put the whole package together that it completely transformed the outfit in my eyes. And test drive those babies in your own home for a bit until you feel like you are bossing them instead of the other way around.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920065 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:12:14 +0000 Inge 920065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The fit is perfect, Scarlet. These jeans were made for you, wow! Happy to hear you are embracing the BF jeans, I really think it's a look that works really well for your style persona, and you could wear any shoe you like with them: booties, ballet flats, oxfords, slipper flats, ankle boots, sandals... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920039 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:17:17 +0000 Anonymous 920039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Please keep them. You look amazing! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-920036 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:05:38 +0000 Angie 920036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ An 11 out of 10.<br /><br />I went to your other thread to answer the low rise question. I hope it all makes sense!&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919945 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:07:36 +0000 Suz 919945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My thumbs are way up! I think you look fantastic in these, which doesn't surprise me in the least!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919926 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:29:47 +0000 sarah 919926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, Scarlet, I'd say you were made for this look. I think these are fantastic on you. But I'm curious that you say the rise is really long, as it doesn't look that way in the pics. I wonder if it would be worth posting a "straight-on" pic, just to reassure yourself. But, honestly, I think you are adorably in these BF jeans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919920 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:46:02 +0000 Beth Ann 919920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them! This is a "refined" bf look in my book, which suits you to a t.&nbsp; Love the back view, too.&nbsp; And don't you enjoy the feel of the loose fit?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919914 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:31:56 +0000 Sveta 919914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they are a very good fit and not too much "dropped crotch" at all. My thumbs are very much up on these ones for you! You can wear them unrolled over booties as well and I really like them with the flats. No leg shortening on my screen at all!<br />I just bought a 3rd pair of BF jeans yesterday in white, I guess I am officially obsessed with them now... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919908 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:52:33 +0000 krishnidoux 919908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, they fit you well! Love them with the ballet flats best. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919906 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:51:06 +0000 Anonymous 919906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, they look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boyfriend-jean-help#post-919891 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 09:05:51 +0000 Scarlet 919891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So up until now I thought this was a look I would give a pass, but I guess it has been subconciously growing on me. I was out for a shopping sprint yesterday and coming up empty over and over in my search for replacement white jeans, I tried these on a whim because I liked the wash. They are really comfortable and I thought they were kind of cute, actually. The denim is lightweight so would serve me well for our coolish summers. I think I can also wear them with booties as well as summery shoes? I think my biggest question with these is that the rise/zipper portion is really quite long and I am quite tiny so I am uncertain whether I can carry it off or whether I should look for something less dramatic. I can pull these jeans down even lower on my hips to emphasize the dropped crotch effect but I always think of Rae's smuggling plums expression. Although to be honest I think I like the dropped crotch look but just don't want to deal with stares in my conservativer milieu. The saleslady thought I might need a size smaller as these will stretch out some, but I think she herself wasn't very comfortable with the bf look and I thought the size seemed right. (They don't have a smaller size in stock anyway.) Finally, I can shorten the length to make the roll less bulky if I keep these.</p> <p>These need to be a 10 for me to keep them. What do you think?</p> <p>1. Front view with ballerinas<br /> 2. back view<br /> 3. front view booties </p>
