Like today. If I had had a long white straight leg jean to put on, I would have. (I just didn't feel like wearing crops today--it was cool in the morning.) But I wore my new bootcuts and they were fine, because it did not rain, despite early clouds. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1294549 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 02:52:04 +0000 jackiec 1294549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favs are the sized up kuts. Having said that, I still like all three of your current white jeans! They don't look too small to me at all, FWIW. Different looks for different purposes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1294344 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 22:02:52 +0000 unfrumped 1294344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp; think the bootcuts are just made for your figure and long legs. I actually like the curve of the waist better than the Kuts.<br />The Kuts would work if you really want a straight long pant. I decided on mine because I can wear them full-length-scrunched or with a roll or 2. They are difficult to wear much higher due to thick fabric and length.<br />The EB crops are superb--I would just wear those to death. They are perfecly "easy fit" on you.</p> <p>So I might just use the EB's for the summery leg-baring look rather than buy more to roll up. Then use the bootcuts for a slightly more dressy long white pant. They will work tucked or untucked on you. </p> <p>The main problem with bootcuts is PPL's--you can't shift shoes much. I was only going to get one pair of white pants so I did the Kuts for some length and shoe adjustments. So, hmmm,then the Kuts might be needed..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1294307 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 20:54:05 +0000 Angie 1294307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Team White Jeans and Team Wear.

I do think it is nice to have a pair with a close fit as you said. I have a pair of slim fit white jeans that are actually a pull on style (but not skin tight like leggings) and they are the best pick for certain tops. I also have the KUT Diana's that are called skinny but are a comfortable slim fit in the legs for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1294212 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 18:43:34 +0000 susan 1294212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased the Catherine's last year per Angie's recommendation on &nbsp;You Look Fab and still love them!

No, their full-length white jean is a different cut. </p> <p>Thanks for weighing in, <b>Angie</b>. I'm wearing the new bootcuts today--tags are off!

I feel like white jeans are harder to get right than darker ones, though. </p> <p><b>Suz</b> and <b>Jjsloane</b>, I do need to do some styling. What I liked about the AG Stilts was that they were a longer length and a close fit. I could wear tunics and ballet flats with them. But how do I want to wear white jeans now? Maybe not the same way. </p> <p><b>Claire</b>, what a funny tale about reclaiming your jeans from your daughter! <b>Kiwigal</b> makes a similar point about weight dropping in summer. I think I'm a little panicked because it hasn't happened yet. But that's not a reason to buy a whole new wardrobe--yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1293621 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 01:45:15 +0000 Sal 1293621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the white bootcuts are the best and would purchase them.<br />I would not get any more - you already have great crops, weight often drops over summer, and I think any more would be overkill. &nbsp;I think how often would you want to wear them - maybe twice a week over summer, you have lots of choice beween one new pair and your existing.<br />I hope that does not sound negative because they all suit you and look fabulous - I just think you may as well enjoy what you already have.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1293581 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 00:58:13 +0000 Joyce B 1293581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a tough decision to make because you look great in all of those.<br /> My favorites are first one and the Kuts but all look fab.

If your weight is fluctuating, do you need a second pair?&nbsp;</p> <p>1-2 - a different look, dressy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can imagine with pointy toed shoes.&nbsp;Fits you well - especially rear view!</p> <p>7-8.- more casual, lower rise. May want to get them tapered a bit if you plan to cuff. Not sure? Seem to fulfill same role as 11-12.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1293458 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 22:42:31 +0000 Caro in Oz 1293458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stand outs for me are your current ones, &nbsp;the&nbsp;<span>white Eddie Bauer. Next is #3 then #1.&nbsp;<br /></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1293448 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 22:32:54 +0000 Anonymous 1293448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay! I LOVE, love, love the first boot cuts. They look spectacular. I love the second, more tapered pair as well. Those will be perfect for flat shoes. Of the cropped pairs, I prefer the leg shape of the J. Crew because they're more tapered. For the two sizes of Kuts, it's hard to say. I had a pair of Kuts and they stretched. A lot! So keep that in mind. From the pictures, both sizes look great. Oh, and hang onto the too tight jeans. If you're like me, you loose a few pounds every summer and you might be into them again in no time. I'm back into the white jeans I gave my daughter last winter when I was heavier. I hope she doesn't miss them, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1293441 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 22:26:10 +0000 Anonymous 1293441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your finds!

Jeans shopping is always a trial. White jeans shopping, more of a trial.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the bootcuts and think you should keep.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both sizes of the Catherines seem to work well, so I guess it just depends on how much slack you want in them. As well as on stretch. Since I don't own these, I can't comment on that. You might also want to compare how they look rolled, if you plan to wear them that way at all. And styled. I sometimes find with K/R that I get my answer by styling the item. I know better which one *feels* right.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also like both versions of the cropped jean. Again, I'd go with the one that feels best. They both look decently substantial and are flattering.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-annual-white-jeans-search#post-1293297 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 19:44:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1293297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the title sounds like I'm a bit over this white jeans shopping thing, it's because, yes, I am. I went through quite a trial last year to find the perfect white jeans, and this summer they don't fit. It's a combination of small amount of weight gain (every little bit shows in jeans!), and that I'm wanting a slightly roomier fit this year. </p> <p>I'd like to have a pair of white boyfriend jeans that can be worn full-length or a straight leg that is slightly slouchy. <br />I'd also like a bootcut that is flattering. <br />I think I may have found both, but please tell me honestly what you think.</p> <p>Here are the contenders:<br />1-2: White bootcuts (Lucky, Lolita). I'm planning to keep these, unless you see something that I'm missing.<br />3-4: White boyfriends (Kut from the Kloth, Catherine, <i>sized up</i>). <br />5-6: White boyfriends (Kut from the Kloth, Catherine, in the larger of my two usual sizes).<br />7-8: White cropped boyfriends (Lucky, Sienna).<br />9-10: White cropped straight legs (JCrew, Reid).</p> <p>What I currently have, for comparison/info: <br />11-12: white cropped boyfriends (Eddie Bauer)--these fit, and I wear them.<br />13-14: white bootcuts (NYDJ, Barbara)--last year's, too tight.<br />15-16: white straight legs (AG, Stilt)--last year's, too tight.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and helping me decide what to keep (if any). Collective wisdom is so useful!</p>
