I think that’s the vibe there.. I’ve tried to like sylvies as well but always end up sending them back. </p> <p>That blazer was a good purchase and you knew it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217790 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 19:01:33 +0000 Jonesy 2217790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, you look fab in every pair of jeans here (and I don't think I've ever seen you in a pair that didn't work!) so it's totally a matter of comfort, versatility, what kind of style/look you are going for, and so on. I agree with the pleasure in having some looseness in denim again, after everything being so snug for so long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217759 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 18:04:14 +0000 CocoLion 2217759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your opinions and support!&nbsp;The stiff Levis will go back.&nbsp; </p> <p>The straight legged Frames were worn yesterday, rolled as in picture 5 with a blue tank and sweatshirt.&nbsp; I got a pedicure and it was so nice to be able to lift the hems to my knees without the skinnies leg-choke thing.&nbsp; The pants are so buttery soft and stretch out but I have plenty of belts.</p> <p>I ordered the Frame Flares in one size larger for comfort and to get a little more hem length.&nbsp; We'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217511 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 00:37:17 +0000 Jaime 2217511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even without considering discomfort I like the first two best. In terms of versatility you won't go wrong with the Frame pair, but I also like the flares for a change of pace. I think they look current at this length. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217394 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 18:57:44 +0000 Suz 2217394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look amazing on you, all of them, but I'd say no to the Levis. Life's too short for discomfort!&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the Sylvie Crops and like them turned up like that.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217392 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 18:50:17 +0000 Sal 2217392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look phenomenal on you. I have rigid Levis and don’t mind the feel but they aren’t lounge on the sofa jeans.<br /> But in your case I would pass given these other fab pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217382 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 18:30:38 +0000 Anonymous 2217382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 too- keeep!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217362 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 16:49:29 +0000 Angie 2217362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo <b>RoseandJoan</b> and<b> Brooklyn</b>!

They seem to sit up too high or something - I can’t find the words for what it is . I’m so blown away by how utterly gorgeous you are in the other pairs- especially #1 . I don’t usually care for flares unless they are shorter like this - these are outstanding . Tell me how to be as slim and tall as you are ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217292 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 12:25:57 +0000 Janet 2217292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first two but I do think the first ones are a bit short (I personally can’t get on board with the “shorter full length” thing — I tried but felt like my dorky junior high self in flood pants). I love the second ones cuffed! I’d stay away from anything uncomfortable — so the stiff jeans would need to be returned. Your old ones still look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217288 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 12:11:45 +0000 RobinF 2217288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely pass on the stiff uncomfortable denim. If you haven't reached for them by now then I doubt you will. I think the first pair is a little short and love your old flares. The second pair looks great both longer and cuffed so I vote keep those.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217279 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 11:16:49 +0000 Preppy Pear 2217279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both pairs of Frame jeans on you! The length of the first pair looks just right with flats and a little short with the heels to my eye, but I defer to PPL Queen Angie.<br /> The Levi’s look good, but yeah, pass on discomfort. I don’t think I’d try size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217259 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 07:24:28 +0000 RoseandJoan 2217259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there's enough difference in wash for you to keep the frame flairs and for them to serve a different purpose to your existing MiH flairs. I really like the fit of these in you. Keep.</p> <p>The Frame crops, I really like when turned up. Keep.</p> <p>I would return the Levi jeans, if you are not reaching for then because of comfort issues I would rather have the money in my bank account than wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217257 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 06:51:16 +0000 Synne 2217257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All styles look good on you! Très chic!<br /> I am though worried that the jeans feel so stiff and tight. I haven't worn jeans for a long time, but bought new jeans in a size up, and I wear them all the time now! Stiff premium denim with no stretch. Jeans shouldn't hurt.</p> <p>Maybe you would benefit from sizing up and then tailoring them, like Angie does? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217255 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 06:39:33 +0000 Carla 2217255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good selection of silhouettes and washes. I vote return the 501’s due to comfort issues and keep the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217253 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 06:30:48 +0000 CocoLion 2217253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kellygirl</b> I'm thinking of keeping the second Frames now because they are comfortable and I wear things that are comfortable.&nbsp; I might try the Levis in one size up as you suggest.<br /><b>Brooklyn</b> yes I too wore stiff denim in the 90s I don't know how I did it.&nbsp; In the 70s I wore stiff denim too and thought nothing of it.&nbsp; In the 80s it was skirts and leggings for me.&nbsp; I think the only way I can do stiff denim now is to size up a size or two.<br /><b>RachyLou</b> - Comfort is king right?<br /><b>Slim Cat</b> -- Jacket still has tags on waiting for any occasion to wear it!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217239 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 04:58:16 +0000 slim cat 2217239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cropped Frame jeans - especially with wide cuffs in #5. <br />Your flare jeans are fabulous - terrific on you!

So elegant! I also like the rolled up pair. I’d wear them like that.</p> <p>I hear you on stiff denim. I wore it no probs in the 90s but I think I’ve been conditioned for more comfort now. I like a bit of stretch. I’d return those if they are not comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217231 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 04:00:01 +0000 CocoLion 2217231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Joy, yes I have white jeans.&nbsp; I'm looking for K/R feedback on the first three jeans.&nbsp; The last two pair are ones I already own.&nbsp; I will edit the thread to make that clear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-update#post-2217230 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 03:59:13 +0000 kellygirl 2217230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both Frames! They both look so fresh and current on you! I am partial to Levi’s but get what you mean about the stiff denim. I have to size up in them or else I’d suffer! Great denim collection!

Frame Pixie flares.</b>&nbsp; With heels (pic 1) with flats (pic 2) and backside view (pic 3).&nbsp; Inseam is .5 to 1 inch shorter than I would prefer.&nbsp; I could order them in one size larger to get a looser, longer fit.&nbsp; Nice and stretchy which I love for comfort.&nbsp; (Having trouble with the rigid denim trend.). Purchased along with NAS items but not part of NAS, so I'm not losing anything with price.<br /><b>2.&nbsp; NAS priced Frame Le Sylvie Crop.&nbsp;</b> (Pics 4-5 and 6).&nbsp; I was going to return these but now I'm feeling I might wear them, especially if I shorten the hems.&nbsp; I think they look boring full length.&nbsp; The rise is a little high but the Pixie's rise is too low for me.&nbsp; And they are super comfy, way softer than the next jeans, the Levi's 501.<br /><b>3.&nbsp; Levi's 501 in Tango Surge.&nbsp; </b>(Pics 8 and 9.). I like the way these look but I'm not used to the stiff material when I sit down.&nbsp; The urge to unbutton the waist is very strong and they aren't even that tight.&nbsp; They'e supposed to have 1% stretch but they feel quite stiff to me.&nbsp; I have had them a couple of months but never reach for them because of the stiffness.&nbsp; I've thought of sizing up but then the backside won't look good.</p> <p>Bonus Pics:&nbsp; #9 shows some MiH petite flares from 2015.&nbsp; They are super wide flares, and were some of the earliest high rises I purchased.&nbsp; I still think they're wearable and the 31.5" length is great for me.&nbsp; I actually prefer them to picture 1 because they are dressier.</p> <p>#10 is what I wore today because once again I couldn't deal with the 501s.&nbsp; These are CoH Rocket crops, a favorite style.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm looking for wisdom and direction here.&nbsp; Do the 501s soften?&nbsp; Which styles do you like?</p>
