I am probably in the market for replacement white jeans soon so having some leads on brands and thinking about what to look for is so very helpful (I am definately joining you on team rearview for my shopping priorities). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes/page/2#post-1115430 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 14:25:24 +0000 Anonymous 1115430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to say that I love my AG "The Legging" jeans. I have them in two washes. The yoke is angled and so are the pockets. I'm not an expert on the rear view, but these seem to be flattering. My main concern is that a jean doesn't give me the dreaded Long Butt.&nbsp;The legs are very, very slim. "The Stilt" jeans by AG&nbsp;are still skinny, but have a little more room and fit me more like straights. Good luck with your quest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes/page/2#post-1115420 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 14:03:43 +0000 Janet 1115420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really have a hard time saying one looks better than the other, you look great in either one. </p> <p>But I admit to not being much of a RR. I avoid my rear view as much as possible. Flat butt + saddlebags + crooked spine = a disastrous rear view, no matter what. I prefer to live in denial. (Why can't some celebrity make saddlebags the new sexy thing to have?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1115417 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 13:59:53 +0000 amiable 1115417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't think I'd care, but I actually prefer #2 due to the pocket placement! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1115362 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:54:54 +0000 Mona 1115362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a RR and think the #1 is more flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1115336 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 07:42:39 +0000 CocoLion 1115336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess you decided to return both but if you're interested in an opinion for future jeans shopping, I am with ManidipaM in that I prefer #2 over #1. &nbsp;I don't mind a boxier/square shape, and I see no flattening. &nbsp;But #1 does look curvier if that's your aim.&nbsp; So I think Angie is right they both work and it could just be that you're lucky enough to have a backside that can project a variety of different looks and shapes, equally well. &nbsp;Work it, girl!</p> <p>If #2 did slide down that would drive me insane, I try to avoid that at all costs but usually you can't tell until you've worn the jeans for a good 8 hours.</p> <p>(And whoever said J Lo's main cultural contribution was to validate the fuller booty had me in stitches!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1115209 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 02:30:10 +0000 carambola 1115209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting. Before looking at this set of pictures, I would have said pocket placement over yoke. After all, that's what I noticed in your other thread and preferred the rear view of the skinnies there. But, now that you mention the yoke and I am looking for that, I do see the "squaring" effect of the straight yoke and cannot unsee it. I think I am a convert and have a slight preference for #1 now, although your butt looks great in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114973 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 21:06:25 +0000 LACeleste 1114973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mo, &nbsp;You look great in both but I like 1 better. &nbsp;Your butt doesn't look a day over 26! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114864 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 18:14:19 +0000 Refugee 1114864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain. &nbsp;I fight the SpongeMom SquarePants look a lot. &nbsp;My white jeans are from Madewell. &nbsp;I went with their rail straight cut (I wanted a wider leg opening) &nbsp;Perhaps their skinny skinny cut might work for you.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/DENIM/skinnyskinny/PRDOVR~A0230/A0230.jsp">https://www.madewell.com/madew...../A0230.jsp</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; I like the pocket placement and the dip in the yoke.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114848 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 17:37:05 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1114848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a cute tookus (did I spell this right? &nbsp;No idea). &nbsp; I had to flip back and forth between the photos like, seventeen times, and re-read your post, before I really understood that&nbsp;they were, in fact,&nbsp;different pants. &nbsp; I can't decide. &nbsp; I say wear the ones that give you the greatest happiness when you look face-on in the mirror, because your backview is adorable in both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114841 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 17:26:29 +0000 Sveta 1114841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am always concerned how my rear looks in jeans and trousers (and almost never like what I see) but I have no idea about which details enhance it.

(Though I have worn no-pocket, which in my book trump poor placement.)</p> <p>And sure enough, swimming against the tide, I *much* prefer #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114817 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 16:46:47 +0000 pastrygirl 1114817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I'm laughing so hard at your description!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114804 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 16:25:45 +0000 marianna 1114804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure.

They make you look curvier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114215 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:17:28 +0000 Jules 1114215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I believe that was J Lo's single greatest contribution to culture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114108 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 19:29:08 +0000 Vix 1114108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mo --</p> <p>I just caught up on your other white jean thread and there and here I preferred the straight legs from the front AND back (#1 photo here)&nbsp;by a pretty substantial margin.</p> <p>But yes, if neither pair is doing it for you&nbsp;you may want to hold out for the magical combo that does it all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114099 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 19:15:11 +0000 Mo 1114099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he he, I have seen that before, Beth. &nbsp;Thanks for the smile. &nbsp;I don't want to get <i>too&nbsp;</i>picky about it all, but a good rear view is a worthwhile endeavor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/riveting-rearsiders---pockets-or-yokes#post-1114091 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 19:03:32 +0000 Beth 1114091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL to to being a discerning RR!&nbsp;</p> <p>IMO, pocket placement is everything. Size, width, length and even angle. That said, I really like both pairs and your rear looks fab, truly. :)</p> <p>Have you seen this?
