Good luck!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flattering-jeans#post-1737760 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 02:09:47 +0000 lady 1737760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've liked Torrid's jeans a lot lately. I'm a size 18. I primarily wear flats or very low heeled boots. </p> <p>Perhaps you would like these?<br /> <a href="http://www.torrid.com/product/torrid-high-rise-slim-boot-jeans---dark-wash/10676960.html?cgid=jeans-bootcut#start=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.torrid.com/product/.....ut#start=3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flattering-jeans#post-1737749 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 00:54:35 +0000 April 1737749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I second the idea of a trouser jean. &nbsp;Or maybe a "baby bootcut." &nbsp;(A very modest version of the regular bootcut.) &nbsp;Check out "NYDJ" brand, which are a relaxed fit in general -- they advise going down one size to get the right fit. &nbsp;</p> <p>Keep in mind two things, though. &nbsp;One, the wider the hem of the jean, the more you will have to commit to a heel height on the shoe you'll be wearing. &nbsp;If you change your heel much, the jean will either drag on the ground or look a bit too short. &nbsp;Two, if you're in a rainy climate and you prefer "perfect pants length" (the hems just about brushing the ground), you'll find yourself with damp or soggy hems on wet days. &nbsp;The beauty of skinnies is the way they tuck into boots or booties when the weather is rainy, so maybe keep one pair for those rainy days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flattering-jeans#post-1737739 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 00:18:53 +0000 Emily K 1737739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll want to search for "trouser jeans". &nbsp;They are straight-legged or slightly wide with a straight leg. &nbsp;No flare. &nbsp;Usually, they are dark wash in a refined denim. &nbsp;You'll wear them long--to within a smidge from the floor. &nbsp;They are sleekly styled through the hips and waist and very flattering for size 16.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flattering-jeans#post-1737728 Sat, 08 Oct 2016 23:12:44 +0000 njw 1737728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of foot issues so my shoes are not something I want to emphasize..I feel like most ankle pants do that as well as not always flattering for my size. &nbsp;So...in need of dark wash jeans that are not big flares and also not ankle length...is there a jean style that would flatter a size 16 that would be full length and be straight but not skinny style? &nbsp;I think that is what would be best for my body type but completely open to all ideas/suggestions. &nbsp;Thanks in advance.</p>
