Wearing shoes would make these look different wouldn't it? I think I'm going to hack off about another 1 - 1.5 inches to make the roll neater and slightly higher and then pop on my pointy toe kitten heel pumps and wear them. I love the baggy/saggy fit and they are super comfy. Diana - I have no idea why these BF styles feel right to me. I guess both my eye and my body have adjusted.

You could hack off a little more to create a neater roll. And tapering is an option too. But not a must.

I would add a little taper myself.

Have the legs tapered by a professional seamstress who knows what she's doing. Fitted to your body, these might look terrific.  Lyn D. on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942531 Mon, 27 May 2013 07:36:58 +0000 Lyn D. 942531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How annoying that you are forced to keep! They must have been cut for the land of the giants if you had to lop-off 8 inches!! I too would taper or shorten and keep as a spare pair of shorts. rae on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942495 Mon, 27 May 2013 04:19:22 +0000 rae 942495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like them and am on Team Taper!

However, I wonder if you'd wear them as is, because I remember all the trials and travails you had with your previous BFs. What makes you think this one is any different? Deborah on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942468 Mon, 27 May 2013 03:29:47 +0000 Deborah 942468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Personally I am worried that Angie thinks she has 10 thumbs :) Shannon, as you know I am  not a lover of BF jeans but I really don't see anything wrong with these.  They have the oversized look and they are a nice wash.  If you don't think they are up to 'going out' jeans they woul certainly be great for running around and weekend wear.  Mia on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942444 Mon, 27 May 2013 02:57:13 +0000 Mia 942444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the hue of these jeans or the "wash" on you.   I don't mind the silhouette for casual.  If you don't wear 'em then chop them?  I too am anxious to hear more from Angie on this.  I have a similar pair that I wear for watching DS swim meets but I was always thinking I should probably keep them for "house jeans"   lol.... annaj on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942443 Mon, 27 May 2013 02:56:58 +0000 annaj 942443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they are perfect as boyfriend jeans - they look like you have effortlessly thrown them on, and I think they look fab!! Love the shirt too! My "every day" clothes look like this, not my gardening/washing/housework clothes!!!

Now I'm even MORE confused - lol! Options are: <ul> <li>Pass, they are too big</li> <li>Turn into BF shorts</li> <li>Taper the legs more</li> <li>Leave as is</li> </ul> Angie - if you happen to pop back into this thread, what makes you put your 10 thumbs up? I'm very curious.

They are not up to your standards. They look too large in the legs, and not "cool" and relaxed. No, no no. Get out of them as soon as possible. I am so sorry. I am just honest. Now let me go hide! Angie on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942346 Mon, 27 May 2013 00:18:40 +0000 Angie 942346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *holding up 10 thumbs* JulieJohn on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942329 Sun, 26 May 2013 23:52:57 +0000 JulieJohn 942329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look really cute to me, I especially think your rear view is fun and flattering. But I am monogamous, so I don't know as much about BFs as some of you girls who are more *experienced* .

No expert on bf fit, but my eye wants to see more taper from the front.

Peri on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942271 Sun, 26 May 2013 20:25:24 +0000 Peri 942271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they are cute! Not a BF jeans expert though so I'm not going to comment on further changes. Maybe they could be more perfect, but I'm okay with them now! Don't remember if I told you, but you are one of my board idols. I have three.

Suz on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942224 Sun, 26 May 2013 18:32:04 +0000 Suz 942224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, you are beyond cute! I actually kind of like these like this! I can see making them shorts or clams, too, if you have a need, but if not...yeah..I'd wear 'em.  Ingunn on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942212 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:58:23 +0000 Ingunn 942212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not really sure what to look for. Should they be more tapered to look like boyfriends? I think they look quite good on you as is. Parsley on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942208 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:44:20 +0000 Parsley 942208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, I think they just look too big on you, Shannon. But isn't that a happy problem to have? Transcona Shannon on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942206 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:37:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 942206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I thought about that Ceit but I've already done that to one other pair of jeans I found at the Thrift Store. They are Denver Hayes BF jeans but they had a horrendous oil stain just below the knee so I hacked them into shorts and they are fab. Do I need two pairs??? Anonymous on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942205 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:35:41 +0000 Anonymous 942205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I say you chop more and make boyfriend shorts! Transcona Shannon on "Do these work as BF jeans?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-these-work-as-bf-jeans#post-942202 Sun, 26 May 2013 17:34:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 942202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The Canyon River Blues jeans I ordered were too big but getting a refund of only $9 on the purchase because of Fifty Ones crazy shipping/return prices, didn't warrant me sending them back. So I thought I'd try and do something with them. They were at least 8 inches too long so I hacked off a bunch of fabric and rolled them up to be BF style. I though the bagginess and dropped crotch could make them work. So do these work as BF jeans? Good enough to wear out or should I just keep them as "house jeans"? My apologies for my scruffy appearance - in between loads of laundry, I'm working in the garden.
