They really highlight nice nice shape of your legs. I like how shapely your calves look in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans/page/2#post-1246165 Fri, 09 May 2014 00:28:47 +0000 Aida 1246165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I think each of these jeans is doing the thing they're supposed to and fit well for those intents. For you, I love those JBrand's and I actually like the baggy flared look on you as well (which is one I sport, but I know not many do) because it looks intentional. But as Angie said, you're the one who will wear and must enjoy the pieces. A linen blend jean sounds super fun, and if it's cheap to boot? Definitely worth playing around with. Would you be more into them as a straight/wide leg silhouette? Could be an interesting take on linen wide leg pants.</p> <p>Una, my husband is FIRMLY on Team Anti-Bread Pudding Butt :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans/page/2#post-1245948 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:25:36 +0000 DonnaF 1245948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I am Team Pancake Butt and unexpectedly bought Big Stars because they made my butt look so good.&nbsp; I found mine at Nordstrom and Zappos; sale was better at Zappos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans/page/2#post-1245535 Thu, 08 May 2014 14:06:28 +0000 texstyle 1245535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK - have you tried the Big Star brand? I ended up with those instead of the AG Nikkis for different reasons but I love the ones I got. Rae is the one who suggested Big Star brand. They were much less expensive too. I don't have a problem filling out the back so much so I end up sizing up and have a just slightly&nbsp;roomy waist on mine. So maybe they would be a good match? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans/page/2#post-1245362 Thu, 08 May 2014 07:11:11 +0000 cciele 1245362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Una! FWIW I think you look smashing in them.</p> <p>My SO actually likes my sweatpant jeans. He says they drape nicely on my butt. Whatever that means -- I'll take it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans/page/2#post-1245350 Thu, 08 May 2014 06:31:54 +0000 catgirl 1245350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, DH brought up his opinion tonight as I was once again schlepping about in the sweatpant jeans.&nbsp; He said "Those would be really cute a size down because your butt is baggy."&nbsp; I responded that they are sweatpants, after all, to which he replied that they were supposed to look like jeans and therefore fit better, which caused me to deliver a diatribe about the boyfriend look being trendy and fluid fit and how he was not keeping up.</p> <p>Nevertheless, I fear he is on Team Anti-Bread Pudding Butt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244850 Wed, 07 May 2014 20:27:41 +0000 JAileen 1244850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the third pair best. The others are ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244773 Wed, 07 May 2014 19:00:02 +0000 Parsley 1244773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I like the Nikkis on you, but I get what you're saying about the rear view. I'm another "butt-less wonder" and mine always want to sag like that, too. I have some jeans where it's intentional, and my friends and family keep telling me they're too big. :-(</p> <p>For a jegging, those J Brands look awesome on you, and really showcase your shapely legs. If it's conventional flattery you're going for, they're it.&nbsp;</p> <p>There are just so many jeans silhouettes right now, I think it makes it harder to judge what fits and what doesn't. The bottom line is that they should make you feel happy and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244760 Wed, 07 May 2014 18:47:25 +0000 jackiec 1244760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>"they are turning my butt into a bread pudding."</p> <p></i>OMG I am ROTFLMAO.

I agree with you, IK, that the rear view on the AGs is not as flattering as you deserve. With all the different jeans out there, it seems hard to justify this pair, seeing as you will surely find something you like better. To be honest, the rear view on the AGs felt to me like those pants that rap music singers used to wear, that would hang off their rear. (Or do they still wear them?)</p> <p>Do you wear heels with your flares? Maybe taking some pix with you wearing heels would help better assess the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244748 Wed, 07 May 2014 18:40:14 +0000 cciele 1244748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, what Suz said. I like the JBrands the best out of all of them. If you like a well-fitted rear view, I don't think either pair of the blue&nbsp;jeans has that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244721 Wed, 07 May 2014 18:24:13 +0000 ironkurtin 1244721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you so nailed it!</p> <p>Also, I think if the AGs had been less than $200 I'd be willing to take the chance, but $200...!&nbsp; And the Jbrands were silly cheap for leather leggings, so I'm willing to play with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244703 Wed, 07 May 2014 18:15:05 +0000 Suz 1244703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny &nbsp;how personal all of this is, isn't it? My impulse would have been to pull the Nikkis <b>down</b> a bit and belt them -- for more slouch! But I don't mind the looseness in the back at all. The photo isn't super flattering, but you have to account for the weird angle, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually like all of these on you. If you want a legging jean, the J. Brands are fab. If you want a slouchy skinny, the Nikkis look good, but if they're not comfortable and you don't like them, do as Angie says and try the Rag and Bones. I have those ones and love them. I sized up one from my normal size. I could have worn my normal size but I like the added slouch.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see what you mean about the flares. The wrinkling might make them feel like just "too much" bag. But for that price, and in a fabrication that makes them wearable in your current climate, I'd say they are worth playing with.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244697 Wed, 07 May 2014 18:12:40 +0000 Ledonna N. 1244697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing wrong with saggy butt pants if that's what you like, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244678 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:52:41 +0000 catgirl 1244678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go - I love me a baggy rear view if the look is deliberate. Always have, always will. I don't find it sad at all - I think it's insouciant and sassy and unpredictable and speaks of a certain defiance. </p> <p>But I'm guessing you are in the majority here! And you look great in your preferred look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244674 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:46:19 +0000 April 1244674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the rear view in the Nikkis is not as flattering as you deserve.</p> <p>And personally, I'm really challenged by the "yank a belt around it" approach to bigger&nbsp;jeans. &nbsp;I've been doing this lately with my two oversized pairs&nbsp;and I find the belt pressing uncomfortably on&nbsp;my hipbones all day. &nbsp;But if I pull the jeans up above my hipbones, they're kind of all up in my business. &nbsp;</p> <p>I like your 7 FAM pair the best of these three.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244673 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:45:51 +0000 Angie 1244673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I totally get it. You share the same opinion as some of my clients. You have to wear the Nikkis - and YOU have to feel fab in them. Pack them up and it's onto the next fab item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244672 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:45:42 +0000 ironkurtin 1244672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, "better" means not saggy.&nbsp; Saggy butts are sad butts IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244669 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:41:14 +0000 catgirl 1244669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh oh, semantics again! What does it mean to look "better"? In light of oversized and fluid fit and BF jeans? Or BF sweats! </p> <p>It could be that this kind of look is just not your style and that's okay - you have a strong defined style that works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244661 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:34:10 +0000 Ledonna N. 1244661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK maybe you could have them tailored and then it will be a better fit or you could just search out the right pair for you new wonderful physique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244660 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:30:06 +0000 ironkurtin 1244660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, you got me.&nbsp; I often don't wear things 100% like other people do, either.&nbsp; But here's the deal.&nbsp; After working out, I now have a smaller waist, no hips, and bigger calves. So something that may look like they don't fit the calves are going to just plain fall off the waist and bag around my butt.</p> <p>Sorry, I just don't see the wonderfulness of these AGs... they're comfy, but I'm working so hard on my butt I feel like it should look a LITTLE better than this in pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244659 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:29:41 +0000 catgirl 1244659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, didn't you post a "why don't I look like the model?" thread?

I worry that a smaller size in the Nikkis will not fit your calves. Have you tried the Rag &amp; Bone BF's?

I don't think the other two pair do you any justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244628 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:52:00 +0000 catgirl 1244628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You gotta love the "hectic" fit to own it. I will say my AGs are big on me and I think I got the 28. So you should be a size down because they should fit in the waist and still be loose everywhere else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---3-pairs-of-jeans#post-1244621 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:38:05 +0000 ironkurtin 1244621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh they FEEL fine.&nbsp; I just feel like these giant fits are super, super unflattering.&nbsp; I have some R13 relaxed skinnies that aren't flattering either, but the denim is thin and nonstretch and somehow seems to have more intentionality.&nbsp; I feel like these AGs just look like they don't fit.</p> <p>The 7FAMs were $20 and are a light linen blend, so they might be worth tailoring to trim the flare.&nbsp; Sorry... not a flare girl! </p>
