I have a pair of the skinny legging type to tuck into boots and they are fab -- great fabric. Thanks for this recommendation - these look great!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-rec-for-the-big-legged#post-938600 Wed, 22 May 2013 02:09:45 +0000 Sveta 938600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For a moment you gave me hope that they may be my long searched for white jeans (I have the same thigh issue)! How is the thigh fit compared with Paige - any looser in the thigh? Also how much the rise is lower than Paige - if more that 1/2" in the front it may be too low for me...<br />Thanks for sharing!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-rec-for-the-big-legged#post-938357 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:41:43 +0000 Angie 938357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, CF!

I will be noting this. Not jean shopping at the moment, but I may refresh the collection for fall, and this is very useful for me and my thighs. :-)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-rec-for-the-big-legged#post-938331 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:14:46 +0000 cinnamon fern 938331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Donna, I tried them and they're pretty narrow in the thigh, if you want them to be really slouchy they should be OK, but sizing down and wearing them as straight legs would only work for apples I think.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-rec-for-the-big-legged#post-938330 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:14:33 +0000 Angie 938330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great info!
