I'm really wanting (and not finding, so far) a lighter pair of jeans! I got a pair of mid-wash, but that's the closest I've found so far, and I'm really missing the variety. (Well. I also found an off-white pair, which works for some of the original purpose of light-wash jeans, but maybe not all, feel wise.) I'm assuming my next pair of boots will be darker than these, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4/page/2#post-1566336 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:09:34 +0000 Angie 1566336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes sense., WL.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I think a lighter pair of skinnies will work better with the boots because they create a low contrast against them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4/page/2#post-1566252 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 10:05:45 +0000 Summer 1566252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look really good on you, WordLily. &nbsp;I have fought shy of skinnies so far, but, as with JAileen, I like them on others. &nbsp;I'll have to take the plunge, I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4/page/2#post-1566245 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 09:43:39 +0000 Bijou 1566245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can understand your concern. &nbsp;I have only one pair of skinnies and it has taken a while for me to really embrace the fit. &nbsp;As I am a boot girl too, tucked into boots is how I like to wear them. &nbsp;Skinnies are so handy if you live in a wet / snowy area, as the ability to tuck into boots is also a bonus. &nbsp;My skinnies are super comfortable because of the stretch in them and it is probably the comfort and ease of tucking into boots that have made them real workhorses for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4/page/2#post-1566239 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 08:45:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1566239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you too. A longer top can help you get more comfy with the whole skinnies thing but the one you are wearing works well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4/page/2#post-1566183 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 03:03:08 +0000 Anonymous 1566183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look FANTASTIC in these! They're very flattering. And you have great boots and chunky knits really pull off the look well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1566057 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 23:38:42 +0000 Word Lily 1566057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Tania! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1566056 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 23:37:38 +0000 Tania 1566056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Folks have already chimed in, but I think these look great on you.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565877 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 17:35:14 +0000 Word Lily 1565877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you did, <b>Cheryle</b>!

Plus, since my torso is long? They're not going to be longer than this if they're bought off the rack, I don't think. Unless it's supposed to be a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565856 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 17:05:19 +0000 amiable 1565856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good with this length top, but I understand you wanting it to be longer too. &nbsp;I really wanted longer tops with my skinnies at first. &nbsp;I guess in some ways I still do....</p> <p>Longer tops are tricky to fit too, aren't they? &nbsp;(I was thinking that they shouldn't be hard to thrift, but they are hard enough to fit that I bet they would be).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565838 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:48:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1565838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great to me. I like this top with them, because it shows more of your leg than a longer tunic would. It seems a very nicely balanced silhouette, with the boots grounding the whole look.&nbsp; I took a while to get used to skinnies, too. I wear them a lot more than my bootcuts now, though, because they are easier to wear in wet weather, with the hems off the ground! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565835 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:41:54 +0000 donnat 1565835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those skinnies look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565822 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:16:05 +0000 Word Lily 1565822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It <i>is</i> funny, isn’t it, <b>JAileen</b>? Thanks.</p> <p><b>LisaP</b>: Sometimes I think I’m just contrary. Skipping whatever the big thing is, just because it’s big. </p> <p><b>Carole</b>: Thank you!</p> <p><b>LavenderMoon</b>: I’m a boot girl, but this is currently my only pair of boots. Sigh. Still planning to add another pair this fall, though.</p> <p><b>Amiable</b>: It’s weird. The shirt issue (I still want it to be longer, but I don’t have anything longer right now) is making me want to walk away. How much work is required to pull off a new silhouette? I start looking at tunic patterns. Try on a holding zone tunic that I’ve held on to for years while it was too small. (It fits!) Think how much better I’d like it with bootcuts or flares. …</p> <p><b>Maneera</b>: Thank you! This top doesn’t actually have an asymmetrical hem, but the burgundy one does. This one’s longer in the middle though. I agree about the wash of these, though, for sure.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565810 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:03:27 +0000 Maneera 1565810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really really like them! This is EXACTLY how they should fit! </p> <p>I love your outfit because the boots are so damn great with these jeans. I don't think they look like jeggings at all. And I also don't think you need a longer top-----this length looks pretty damn good because of the asymmetrical hem. </p> <p>Oh do try your black hand knit top next!!! Yay!! I think these jeans flatter you MORE than you think. I like them ALOT. you look slimmer and very effortlessly styled here.</p> <p>ETA: The simple dark wash is especially great because I find it to be more versatile and more slimming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565802 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 15:56:47 +0000 amiable 1565802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - I still like them - especially with the long sweater and boots. &nbsp;It's a departure from your usual, and I know you crave less variety than I do, but I think it looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565801 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 15:56:11 +0000 Anonymous 1565801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're a boot girl, you've got to have these!&nbsp; They look great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565742 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:28:34 +0000 Stephanie 1565742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally get it! I have been wearing skinny jeans for years and am so used to them now. I actually have the same problem as you but flip flopped - I am so comfortable in skinny jeans that I feel weird in boot cuts and flares. You weren't harsh at all, I am still trying to learn what other members like/don't like I say keep em around for a few days and try styling them with different tops/things you already have. They look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565740 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:27:26 +0000 Carole 1565740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great!

They look great on you, fit you well, and look good tucked into your boots. I am the opposite of you - lol. I wear nothing BUT skinnies! &nbsp;Can't get myself into boot cuts but just might try today:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565732 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:18:31 +0000 JAileen 1565732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny, I can see them on others but not on me.

I really (finally) like these glasses, too.</p> <p><b>Stephanie</b>: I don’t know how I feel in them yet, which is why I posted it as a question. It’s sooooo far from my normal that I can’t tell! It just feels weird so far. Sorry if my first reply was overly harsh. I’m not confident enough to pull off a shorter top with these, at least not right now.</p> <p><b>Diana</b>: Thanks. Yeah, I like boots, too.</p> <p><b>Jenn</b>: I agree. I think this is the longest I’ve got right now, though. However, it’s cotton and has a tendency to grow over the course of the day. It might be a full inch or two longer by afternoon! I’m curious to see how the pants change over the course of the day, too.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>: Thanks!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565719 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:07:36 +0000 Stephanie 1565719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had to throw it out there...I am a partial tuck-a-holic I agree with Jenn then...try a slightly longer top with these. I forgot to mention that I really like them paired with the cowboy boots too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565716 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:04:09 +0000 Suz 1565716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the whole outfit! It's sleek and I enjoy the bookending of your boots and hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565715 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:04:03 +0000 Word Lily 1565715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>: They are pretty body-con, yes. Which is partly why I don't see myself pairing them with anything but boots and long loose tops, at least right now. As my weight continues to drop, though, theoretically they'll fit a bit looser, which gives them more longevity in my closet than if they were loose now. The patchwork ones ... I don't know. My first thought is they're just too haphazard for me. I think the flatness of the wash is helping ease me into the silhouette; more flattering.</p> <p><b>Stephanie</b>: I don't think I'll be pairing them with a structured (or tucked, horror!) top any time soon. Yikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565709 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:01:31 +0000 Alassë 1565709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like they fit well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565705 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:52:58 +0000 Jenn 1565705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, but think they might work better with a longer top... just another inch or two would help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565703 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:51:59 +0000 Diana 1565703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great to me. I resisted skinnies at first too but came around once I realized how well they work with boots. I REALLY like boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-4#post-1565700 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:49:39 +0000 Angie 1565700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These fit "body con". Which is a look - and they fit well if that's what you are after. Make sure you like the uniform wash.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can also get skinnies that look less like jeggings and more like jeans. See below. Do you like the patchwork jeans, Work Lilly?&nbsp; </p>
