Period. 882701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you are looking for a very leggy look, what about trouser jeans? &nbsp;Ones that fit at your waist and hip, but flow into&nbsp;wider legs from there? You need to wear them long, long enough that they&nbsp;pretty much cover your shoes. &nbsp;I wear them with shoes with a heel or platform (wedges for stability running after kids in my case....). They make your legs look very long, the longest of any of the jean shapes, in my opinion. &nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-882670 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 02:24:28 +0000 Liz A. 882670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ can you specify what exactly your fit problems are? &nbsp;gapping waist? &nbsp;too long? etc. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-881723 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 03:35:22 +0000 4babiesMe 881723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am feeling a similar frustration right now. &nbsp;I can't seem to find that "perfect" pair of jeans. &nbsp;I think part of my problem is that I just don't have the time right now to spend hours&nbsp;trying on jeans (I'm a SAHM of four and DH works full-time and is in an MBA program). &nbsp;My problem is that I have a flatter butt, mom-of-four tummy,&nbsp;and curvy thighs. &nbsp;:/ &nbsp;I found this blog today, and I'm going to use some of the suggestions for my body type and go in that direction for starters. &nbsp;<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.denimblog.com/c/a/the-12-womens-body-types-and-jeans-that-will-flatter-each">http://www.denimblog.com/c/a/t.....atter-each</a><br /><br />I do like levi's demi curve &amp; perfect waist jeans right now, but I'm sure there must be something better out there for me. &nbsp;Good luck in your search. &nbsp;I'm sure you can wear jeans and look great in them. &nbsp;It's just a matter of finding what works for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875541 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:56:19 +0000 annaj 875541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think anyone can wear jeans, but as you say, it's a matter of finding the "right" jeans. Be prepared to try on many!!! My suggestion is to go into a jeans store, rather than a department store, and have the shop assistants bring you as many options as possible. Try them all, stand back and observe carefully - try to get a more specific idea of what you like, and what you don't like. It's also a matter of what you want to wear with them. I'd also suggest wearing your preferred "jeans" top so that you get a better idea of the whole picture. Good luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875525 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:23:38 +0000 Jules 875525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 10 inches between my waist and hips, then some extra thigh lower down too! And I actually think that dark wash skinnies with boots &amp; flattering, colourful tops, scarves etc are one of my better looks. The Old Navy sweetheart fit works for me if you want to try something low-end. I do find dark washes are easiest, but lighter washes and colours are definitely doable when you get more comfortable. But I agree with ramya. Your proportions are normal and you will probably love jeans when you find the right pair and develop some formulas for wearning them that work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875508 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:09:58 +0000 ramya 875508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahem a pear here too...</p> <p>Talk about short legs... I think I am 28" at waist and 40" at bottom and my legs are for sure short :)</p> <p>I wear straights skinnies and anything I wish.<br /> It's just a mental block we have and once we overcome it everything works.</p> <p>I swear by my Levi's curve id.<br /> Also surprisingly most H&amp;M pants work for me(Strange but true).</p> <p>I suggest try a few pair. Post your pics for comments.</p> <p>The forum is very helpful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875489 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:38:11 +0000 Anonymous 875489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My waist is 29 and my hips are 41, so comparable to your shape. I find straight cuts to work better for me, but I am not appley at all and prefer my jeans to slouch on my hip bones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875476 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:13:26 +0000 Lauren 875476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're a pear! Woo! Me too. My measurements are waist 32 and hips 43... so I get the disparity. I love LOFT or Ann Taylor "Curvy" styles for jeans or Levi's Supreme curve jeans. </p> <p>Here are a few reviews I did on my blog (thepearshape.com) for both of those styles:<br /> Ann Taylor: <a href="http://thepearshape.com/first-foray-into-the-world-of-colored-denim-ann-taylor-curvy-slim/" rel="nofollow">http://thepearshape.com/first-.....urvy-slim/</a><br /> Levi's: <a href="http://thepearshape.com/quick-alteration-making-tunics-flattering-for-pearshapes/" rel="nofollow">http://thepearshape.com/quick-.....earshapes/</a></p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875421 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:53:12 +0000 Thistle 875421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone can wear jeans and look good in them (or so I am telling myself as I hunt down a pair). The trick is trying on lots and lots and lots.</p> <p>I also think boot cut are quite flattering, if not of the moment, and straight legs as well. Skinnies would probably be best tucked into boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875315 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 05:52:31 +0000 jayne 875315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try straight leg and try on many many to find a pair that make you feel good. Bottoms are the hardest to fit.. You are definitely slim enough (from 38 I get) to rock jeans </p> <p>I am your height but a size 42 and I wear straight legs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875313 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 05:38:21 +0000 anne 875313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcom to the forum!! I have similar proportions to you, though I am 2 inches shorter. My legs are definitely shorter. While I'll never look like a long legged person, I do wear jeans a lot and don't think we can't wear them - I wear bootcut, straightleg and jeggings styles.<br /> You could try tucking them in and wearing them with heels, for a start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-wanna-wear-jeans#post-875297 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 04:45:08 +0000 JaneEng 875297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi i always envious to see people with long legs wearing beautiful jeans. this made me want to a pair of jeans so badly but due to my body type, i feel like i looked terrible in jeans.
