So let's see if I end up ordering - might need a belt with it? </p> <p>You're right about the patina effect though, hadn't thought about that - could make it a useful piece for casual nights out (where you want to look evening/ party-appropriate, but not too polished/ dressed up). Don't have many events like that to dress for though (especially with the half-restrictions due to COVID), so it might not be worth it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket/page/2#post-2280754 Sat, 10 Sep 2022 05:37:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2280754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, I haven’t washed them yet! I have other coated jeans and I wash them inside out in the washing machine. I plan to do that. Others here have mentioned that the coating on coated jeans tends to come off over time, but I haven’t had that experience with my other coated jeans (which I’ve now had for 5 years plus). So I was willing to take the chance. From an aesthetic POV, it might not matter, because the jeans have a patina effect in any case.</p> <p>My experience with 100% cotton jeans is that they tend to tighten up with washing, then relax again with wear.</p> <p>Just a note on sizing: I sized up in this style. Because I like them so much I recently tried another style of Collusion jeans in the same size. They were too big. So I think the bronze jeans run small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket/page/2#post-2280753 Sat, 10 Sep 2022 05:16:06 +0000 Zaeobi 2280753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Took another look at the bronze jeans - how easy were they to wash, @Brooklyn? Did you just machine wash them as normal with all your other clothes, or in a mesh bag - did the finish stay intact? Do they stay stretched out or does the 100% cotton bounce back to its original fit after washing?</p> <p>PS - I'm pleasantly surprised they have a curvier fit, considering Collusion usually does a lot of unisex clothing (at least from what I've seen of the brand at ASOS)! Leave no retail stone unturned in the quest for full length, relaxed fit trousers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket/page/2#post-2280444 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 14:10:12 +0000 Angie 2280444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> my late Mama was very candid and direct about my fashion choices too.

Great styling as usual, YLF in them! Like Irina, in the last decades I also struggled with regular straight pants (esp. if not jeans...which I also seldom/never wear:-)). I like cropped and cigarette the most-because I like to show a bit of ankle, am so worried these will go out of trends/fashion and will look dated on me sooner or later:-(((.</p> <p>ETA:--Wow!!! Brooklyn, the light bulb went on!! Thanks for remindig me (in your answer to Irina) styling them with more substantial footwear, which I almost forgot that was what I did when wore them last time, 20 yrs ago! I started collecting&nbsp; chunky&nbsp; sandals last summer but chunky loafers were only available here&nbsp; this spring (already collecting, them-once again -too) but&nbsp; I almost forgot they will work so much better with straight pants! who-hoo!:-))</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket/page/2#post-2280321 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 03:27:10 +0000 kellygirl 2280321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa!!

I think I "need" bronze pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket/page/2#post-2280089 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 13:06:58 +0000 RobinF 2280089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The bronze colors are great and the length of the jacket is perfect. I have the opposite struggle from you regarding pants - if they fit in the waist they are baggy everywhere else. Skinnies look like straights on me. Works for now but if they stop selling skinnies I’m in trouble. Glad you are feeling better and didn’t give Covid to your mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket/page/2#post-2280076 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 05:12:21 +0000 Indigoprint 2280076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowsa.<br /> You look Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2280064 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 03:51:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2280064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Angie, I am enjoying my bronzes at the moment. Mum wasn’t as keen on the jeans as I thought she’d be. Probably not shiny enough! And she’s definitely not a fan of sleeve cut outs. You win some, you lose some. She does love the jacket however.</p> <p>Merwoman, you too! I may just have a box set of the entire series of Buffy :)</p> <p>Xtabay, I always think my ability with colour is quite limited so I take that as a great compliment.</p> <p>Janet, I have a 12 inch + difference between my waist and thighs. So generally jeans that fit my waist are too tight on my thighs. And if I size up they usually end up being too big around my waist, and often still too tight on my thighs. So I empathise. These jeans seem designed for a curvier figure. Which is why I think I will try some of their other styles. I hate jeans shopping!</p> <p>JAileen, yes, by the time I realised I had it I figured he had been exposed and it was too late to isolate. Plus our house is small so I’m not sure how I could have isolated from him. I really hope we don’t get it again anytime soon.</p> <p>Jules, slouchy pants will look great with your Docs.</p> <p>And thanks UmmLila, Catherine and Jaime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2280040 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 02:06:49 +0000 Jaime 2280040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning! Wow that cut of jeans works beautifully on you. The whole outfit is mesmerizing and I love the texture on the top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279984 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 16:51:35 +0000 merwoman 2279984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally slaying this look. ( groan! )<br />Buffy was awesome, DD and I rarely missed an episode.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279968 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 15:14:15 +0000 Angie 2279968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the Power of KILLER</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I LOVE the '90s fit of those jeans!!! Fab scrunch! A big wide cuff could work, if you fancy that vibe. The coat adds a beautiful elegant touch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry you and hubs got COVID. It sucks - sooooooo glad Mama stayed clear. Bet she liked your outfit! You had her with the shine&nbsp; :)</p> <p>(P.S. My late Mama would love this too! Her palette. She loved glitz! She would have turned 81 on Sept 1st).&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279959 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 14:51:38 +0000 catherine 2279959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool, edgy, and glamorous.

I have given up on ever wearing shiny pants — just too much emphasis on a part of me that does not need it, and they always fit too snug. I love the fit of those jeans on you, and I cannot see for the life of me how you would have that straight-as-skinnies fit problem I have! When I size up, everything just goes droopy but the thighs still suck to me. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279947 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 12:35:10 +0000 Jules 2279947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool! Love the pieces and palette.<br /> I’m another one who struggles with longer pants, especially with all the current variety in width and length - I haven’t figured out a go-to formula. I like the way you are wearing these (sized up with some slouch at the bottom) better than the model. Something for me to think about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279943 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 10:38:36 +0000 Brooklyn 2279943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Star. Another Buffy fan! That jacket sounds fab. The bronze jeans are still available on ASOS. Just saying. Maybe Angie could create a find (it doesn’t work for me).</p> <p>MJ, thank you. I was nervous about my mum because I got symptoms the day after seeing her. But she is fine. What a relief. </p> <p>Rachy, relaxed fit jeans are a HEWI for me. So happy. I’m thinking of ordering some other styles from this brand. Just in case they are “my brand”.</p> <p>Thanks Jenni. Yes, the jacket pattern is subtle. The jeans do the talking It is amazing how random and variable Covid is. Lots of people I know have just had a sniffle. Some say it was more like the flu. Mine was like a short, intense cold (I wouldn’t describe it as mild). One woman I know had a very mild case, but it lingered for 2 months. </p> <p>Thanks Zaeobi. Those satin cargo pants sound good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279937 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 07:36:12 +0000 Star (Lise) 2279937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool and interesting outfit. I would love a pair of bronze jeans.&nbsp; I have a coat like Buffy.&nbsp; I thrifted it in Spring for a extremely reasonable price.&nbsp; Made in Italy.&nbsp; It is a little snug.&nbsp; Cannot wait to wear it when I get back to my regular shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279935 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 07:09:20 +0000 Mirjana 2279935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First I am so sorry about the Covid but glad it did not go to your mother and you are good now. I hope your husband will be also good soon.<br /> Those jeans are amazing on you, they are really unique. I love the whole outfit, bronze is BG beautiful on you and you wear that color the best, your signature . Love the jacket, shape and the length. Fabolous Brooklyn like always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279932 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 05:04:35 +0000 rachylou 2279932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way the new pants hang.

I can’t tell it is houndstooth from a distance though. More of a “false plain”.<br /> Unique items are great aren’t they?<br /> Glad you recovered well from Covid but sorry about your husband. It seems so variable how badly people are affected… unpredictable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bronze-jeans-mini-houndstooth-jacket#post-2279929 Sat, 03 Sep 2022 04:13:03 +0000 Zaeobi 2279929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can definitely see the Buffy vibes - especially with the longer undershirt. The houndstooth is subtle enough that it blends in well. </p> <p>The bronze jeans steal the show, though - I recently bought some bronze satin cargo pants too, &amp; find them to be surprisingly versatile (looks great with browns, like here!) </p>
