But roll up higher and cuff narrower because you have dainty ankles to show off and the cuff needs to match scale. My hypothesis is that dainty ankles need either a VERY deep flat cuff if tapered or quite a narrow roll, chunkier ankles doing better with wide rolls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1012023 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:19:00 +0000 Debra 1012023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best, but I too think they need to come in a little at the bottom, love the little t shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011956 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:31:00 +0000 Debbie 1011956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not read the other comments but I love the first pair on you. You look extremely happy in these photos. I hope you keep them. I also have the Catherine's and I love them. I haven't had any problems with them bagging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011951 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:16:22 +0000 Adelfa 1011951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs of these (blue denim and white) and they are such a joy to wear. Just perfectly comfortable. Great choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011839 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:52:16 +0000 Nadya 1011839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the slim Cathernes too and love them so much I have to keep talking myself out of buying a duplicate. I especially like 1 on you.

But I agree the legs are too wide. <br />Have you tried the Gap sexy BFs? What's your comfort level with using a seamstress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011512 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:29:30 +0000 rae 1011512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote either size is a keep, but definitely taper. With this wide a hem, though, you need to get sewing involved. Too much fabric to peg.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011511 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:28:26 +0000 lyn* 1011511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 too, and if your jeans are anything like mine, they get roomier as we wear them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011506 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:24:44 +0000 Susie 1011506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I like these on you! I'm glad that you decided to give them a try again. I definitely prefer the fit of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011497 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:15:02 +0000 Beth Ann 1011497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle: the amount of difficult involved in tapering depends on the kind of side seams you have on your jeans.&nbsp; If they are "flat felled" with double layers of top stitching, that's a little more work, but a seamstress can do it pretty quickly.&nbsp; I would do it, but I'd consult a online tutorial or a sewing friend first.&nbsp; I'd also use a photo of what you'd like the taper to look like --- I'm sure you can find one on Pinterest or the forum that works.</p> <p>Love these on you!&nbsp; How cool that DH loves them too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011386 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:15:43 +0000 Thistle 1011386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH liked them both. He actually thought it was hot that I was supposed to look like I was wearing his jeans&nbsp; :)&nbsp; (Although, he thought they should be husband jeans instead, and boyfriend jeans should be in the juniors department)</p> <p>As far as narrowing the leg . . . is that something I need a seamstress to do, or does that involve more cuffing?&nbsp; </p> <p>Will try more cuffing when I get back tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011327 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:30:58 +0000 Kristin L 1011327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011317 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:20:26 +0000 Carole 1011317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Noting the expert comments. I have just embraced the BF jeans, too, and am still getting used to the look. These look great and am anxious to see the outfits you create with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011302 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:58:07 +0000 Jules 1011302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PC problems are preventing me from loading the pics, but as a pearish hourglass I've had issues in the past with jeans that sit on my hips at the beginning of the day, but are falling off at the end. Belting only helps so much (paper bag effect, needing another size of belt for your hips vs. belts that work on your waist). Plus your body is changing right now due to the weightlifting, right? All these things considered I'd probably go with the snugger fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011299 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:50:06 +0000 texstyle 1011299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and think they just need to be tapered in order to be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011253 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:49:56 +0000 Suz 1011253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the BF look on you. I'm not sure which pair is best without side and back views. Your comfort level is important -- some people like more slouch than others. I agree that if you like the second pair they might benefit from some alteration to increase the taper or perhaps some shortening.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011247 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:48:30 +0000 Angie 1011247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so proud of you, Thistle. You are amazing. It gives me great joy to see your style journey. Truly. </p> <p>I much prefer the smaller, normal size - so #1 gets my vote. A little tapering on the lower leg and you are in business. </p> <p>Your smile made me smile. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011245 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:46:29 +0000 Sara L. 1011245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 also, but agree with others that the hem is too wide and would need to be tapered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011244 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:45:21 +0000 donnat 1011244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the taper in #1. I think IK is right, jeans stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011235 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:39:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1011235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which pair do you feel most comfortable in Thistle? I like the look of the larger size and think they are quite flattering. Agree with the others that the roll needs to be a bit narrower but higher up so more ankle shows. If you decide to keep you may need to hack off a couple of inches from the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011220 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:17:57 +0000 Diana 1011220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they have potential. I like the larger size, it looks more deliberately oversized. I agree with Ceit that they're too wide at the hem. You'd need to have them tapered. I think you also need to make the roll narrower if you're going to wear them full length, which may involve shortening as well. Do you want to ever wear them at a shorter cropped length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011218 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:16:22 +0000 ironkurtin 1011218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1.&nbsp; Jeans stretch.&nbsp; </p> <p>Love your smile in these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011217 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:16:07 +0000 peekaboo 1011217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2, but agree they need to be shorter and more tapered.&nbsp; Nice look though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011214 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:13:07 +0000 Lisa 1011214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggled with finding the right fit in BF jeans for quite a while.&nbsp; I like the size up, for myself (another pear shape) I found baggy works well but they also need to taper a bit at the bottom near the cuff.&nbsp; I like the larger one's here but would roll up/tailor to taper them a bit and have them sit a little higher up on the shin when rolled.&nbsp; I roll mine up 4 times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---boyfriend-jeans#post-1011213 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:12:44 +0000 pil 1011213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Ceit said, these would really work with some altering. I like the fit and wash/rinse in #2. </p>
