I really like the fitted navy top with the jeans but think you could also wear a voluminous blouse (similar to photo) that tucks into the jeans because your jeans give great waist definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230784 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 14:45:33 +0000 cat2 2230784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about going intentionally 80s with a black turtleneck tucked in? I recall the combination of light denim and black with fondness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230783 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 14:45:17 +0000 Angie 2230783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THESE on you!

Well done :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230725 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 09:26:50 +0000 Star (Lise) 2230725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fun jeans.&nbsp; I would try them with a thick belt with a statement-y buckle, and let the frilly top of the jeans peak out above.&nbsp; You have a small waist and I think it should look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230674 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 02:12:15 +0000 Aquamarine 2230674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve already received so many suggestions so I’ll just say they look GREAT on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230672 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 01:50:40 +0000 Suz 2230672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! And you are the perfect person to wear them. I see you've got a ton of great ideas already, but I have to say I liked what you tried in the first place. kkards is the queen of trendy jeans!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230649 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 01:07:10 +0000 Jaime 2230649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will enjoy these vicariously through you, since they would be deadly on me .&nbsp; They look great without a belt but why not try it all and see what sticks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230627 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 22:55:38 +0000 Sal 2230627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them as you have styled them - whilst the jacket means you can't see the waist I still think they look good....</p> <p>I also think simple tops - woven or knit or cropped sweatshirts will all work well.</p> <p>I agree - clogs might be worth a go too.</p> <p>Or do as the model with a bikini top and shirt and jacket half way down your arms.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230617 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 22:41:32 +0000 Sloper 2230617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm agreeing with Phoebe - these are rather trim for a paper bag waist style.&nbsp; Maybe try them with a bulkier top - a cropped sweatshirt or sweater, or cropped jacket, with a skinny tucked top.&nbsp; And stompy boots as suggested above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230610 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 22:17:37 +0000 lozz_oz 2230610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t think you need any help.....in all honesty you have styled them so well. The paper bag waist is the detail you want to highlight, so it’s tucked in tops all the way!<br /> Looking forward to see the styling with shorter jackets and boots photos too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230608 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 22:11:14 +0000 kkards 2230608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never have thought of a woven blouse/shirts, but as a number of you have mentioned it, I’m going to have to give it a try…and go thru my &nbsp;closet and see if i have jackets that are cropped enough&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230599 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 21:47:31 +0000 unfrumped 2230599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like thin belts with paper bag waists. You don’t have to always— can go by whether you have a belt that complements your top or stands out against the denim color. Just options for different looks. With waist gathers, you can wear a belt just snug enough to not be too droopy, but not so binding that you lose the comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230597 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 21:42:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2230597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it’s too warm out for stompy boots, how about your clogs? They won’t fill the ankle space like boots would, but I don’t think you need that when it’s warm. I do think you want weight on your feet with these </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230596 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 21:37:04 +0000 Tanya 2230596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You already got some great suggestions, but I found two more:<br />1) with a very cropped jacket over tucked in knit top<br />2) with tucked in striped shirt and moto.</p> <p>Love the jeans on you and the both ways you styled them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230582 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 21:03:00 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2230582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A denim jacket could be great, as long as it’s not a slim little one like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230579 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 21:01:12 +0000 The Cat 2230579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These fun pants and your slim waist look like they are begging for a belt. Try an elastic or braided belt that isn't too narrow. Topper is optional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230577 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 20:36:53 +0000 Anonymous 2230577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're pretty trim for a paper bag waist so balancing with a snug top doesn't seem necessary to me. I don't tuck in t shirts or sweaters so I would go with a soft, draping top, probably a blouse rather than a shirt.</p> <p>I don't think you have to reveal everything all the time so the jacket covering the waist does not bother me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230574 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 20:34:01 +0000 kkards 2230574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew&nbsp;that you all would have some great ideas, and help me think this thru.</p> <p>No belt, i was 90% on this, but thanks for confirming</p> <p>higher shaft footwear and stompy boots….yes, if/when we ever get temps below 60F/16C, I’ll pull out these boots. I like the idea of high top sneakers, which I don’t own, but are on my radar…the socks with sneakers idea sound great, but not me.</p> <p>I don’t think i own any non denim jackets, but i like that idea…and i need to experiment with tucking in a sweater…<br />And i love the shacket idea!&nbsp;</p> <p>Lots of ideas percolating… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230564 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 20:22:54 +0000 Anonymous 2230564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful jeans! You could try a very thin belt. Rope or ribbon might work as a belt as well. I really like this styling with a tucked in sweater </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230551 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 19:40:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2230551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool jeans. Synne’s suggestions for a tucked-in slim top and a cropped jacket sound on the money to me. I’d say go for bulk with the topper, maybe something like my trucker jacket here or a cardi with serious sleeves. If you want to go longer, an ethereal topper could work too. For footwear, I’m thinking something kinda stompy. (These are not your colors, I know—they’re from my finds, just to give general ideas). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230546 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 19:28:11 +0000 Katerina 2230546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, these jeans are great! I wish I were better at styling jeans to be able to help you, but unfortunately it is not my forte… I like both the ways you styled them here. Agree on no belt. Maybe a classic white button down shirt tucked in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230542 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 19:18:11 +0000 SarahD8 2230542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, yes the styling in the product photo is no help at all, is it?</p> <p>I agree with others -- no belt, and tucked in top.</p> <p>Maybe a semi-tuck would be interesting?</p> <p>If you need a topper, maybe something less structured like a button up shirt worn open, or a shacket?</p> <p>Maybe wearing a patterned top would help add outfit interest that you might normally get from a belt/topper.</p> <p>I like the sneakers but think they might also work with those very plain 90s style loafers that are back now.</p> <p>In general these jeans seem quite retro to me (remind me of Girbaud jeans) so I think playing up the 90s reference is the way to go.</p> <p>Ooh- with doc martens maybe?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230539 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 19:12:04 +0000 Carla 2230539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my paper bag jeans like you show - with a close fitting top tucked in most of the time. &nbsp;I also wore them with a tailored button down (tucked in) and&nbsp;with a slightly looser fit sweater (still tucked in). &nbsp;I don’t think I ever wore a belt, but rather let the (fun) waist detail speak for itself. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230537 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 19:05:30 +0000 Synne 2230537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! I love how adventurous you are in style. These jeans are THE BOMB. I like your styling very much, but would prefer to 'close the gap' at the ankles (like in the stock photo), with either taller sneakers or.. dare I say it... white tennis socks! That would actually be amazing with this. Tucked top is a must, like you already are doing. How about a cropped jacket? Agree with KG: no belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230530 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 18:51:35 +0000 kellygirl 2230530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great! No belt required--I think it would add bulk and distract from the cool waist detailing. I've only been able to wear paper bag waists with slim tops tucked like you did or with cropped. Interested to see what others suggest but I think this looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-10#post-2230528 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 18:49:31 +0000 kkards 2230528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, over the summer I bought these really cool, super comfy paper bag waist jeans. And honestly I was out of town and was so taken with the look, I failed to work thru the how would they work IRL. So, flash forward to actual jeans weather &amp; I’m struggling.<br /> So fabbers help me out…how would you wear these jeans???</p> <p>Belt? No belt? Wearing a blazer seemed to lose the waist detail, does it matter?<br /> All comments, suggestions and thoughts are welcome and appreciated </p>
