I think that you can tell that by the picture you posted.

Before you return them, uncuff those babies and lets see what they look like!

Just get the hems sort out I am wild about this color combo. Gorgeous! Jonesy on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-372087 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:32:06 +0000 Jonesy 372087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Man, what a bummer!! Are you sure you couldn't post the pics for us to evaluate? I genuinely love the fit of these on you!! They don't just look passable, they look *good*! I don't see why they need to be tight through your calves for them to be stylish :). To me, they fit your RATE style perfectly. RoseandJoan on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-372040 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 19:06:42 +0000 RoseandJoan 372040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ AG, I don't mind the fit at all, it sort of looks like a cargo fit. In the shot you posted though the longer cardigan fastened combined with the high vamp shoes shortens the look of the length of your legs. I imagine with your shoes off and a cardi opened the effect may be quite different. catgirl on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-372035 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:57:52 +0000 catgirl 372035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mo, thanks for the kind rephrasing. Sadly, we have no Zara here. I will have to hope for the thrifting luck of MaryK!

I think you're an hourglass, and I'm an IT... You look so much better than I do in them. I've taken a billion photos of both sizes this morning, and as I can't seem to even take a photo that doesn't show all the concerns I have with them, I think they both need to go back. I am so sad because I love the color. But I just don't have the body for them. Angie on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371855 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:31:57 +0000 Angie 371855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I look forward to the next set of photos! I actually like the bagginess too Sarah on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371851 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:29:18 +0000 Sarah 371851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They fit us so differently! I sized up for the thigh, but the waist is a hair loose. How do these fit your waist? They look more like a straight leg to me, which is fine if it's the look you're going for. If not, try other options, like Zara has some fab skinnies right now. <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-S2011/61139/275538/SKINNY%2BSTUDIO%2BTROUSERS" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....2BTROUSERS</a> Lisa on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371843 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:20:37 +0000 Lisa 371843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them and don't mind the baggy fit. They lean more towards a straight leg than a skinny jean due to the baggy-ness. The color is to die for on you! catgirl on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371690 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 05:42:39 +0000 catgirl 371690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I held onto both sizes, in case I had to return both, so I will post photos of both tomorrow unrolled. I am willing to hem if that is the concensus. Angie's post here shows some knee bagginess, but not to the degree they are on me. I think it's because I need to be about a foot taller. I don't mind how they look, but if they are a fashion blunder due to not fitting right in the calves, then back they go. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/06/16/colourful-jeans-yay-or-nay/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/06/.....ay-or-nay/</a> annette on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371676 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 04:37:38 +0000 annette 371676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I fell in love with the whole thing...hat, sweater, pants! I have skinny calves and like them...all boots fit! I would love to see rear, side views and unrolled as well! I LOVE checking out your outfits. MNsara on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371668 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 03:58:21 +0000 MNsara 371668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love that color, but they *do* look a bit baggy, so I'll hold out until we see new pics of unrolled. If your heart isn't set on Skinnies, they would be a great Straight/Almost Skinny. . . P.S. Between your super slender calves and my super shapely (as Angie kindly says) calves, there must be a huge grey area where all the lucky calves live! Marley on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371624 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 02:59:15 +0000 Marley 371624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmm . . . I would have liked to have taken a look at the first size that you ordered because to me, these just look way too baggy - I'm wondering if the smaller size was really as obscene as you thought? Anyway, unroll those cuffs and lets take a look at these that way! (Love the color blocking!) Sveta on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371608 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 02:51:13 +0000 Sveta 371608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look like straight leg to me and I think they work, especially if you thought one size down is too tight. I have opposite problem with my calves: straight leg look like skinnies on them and some skinnies I cannot even gen on - so yes, I do envy skinnier calves!

I'm with Angie and want to see them unrolled. Maybe if they're scrunched the looseness around calves will be more acceptable. modgrl on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371592 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 02:45:22 +0000 modgrl 371592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Killer color for you but I don't like the shape. I wish they were slimmer or bootcut.

Sorry, OT! I really like them!! Once hemmed, I think you will be set. They don't HAVE to be skinnies. I think you should be comfortable with the fit for certain. I'm diggin' this cardi, too. (AND THAT HAT!!!) Jonesy on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371524 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:46:41 +0000 Jonesy 371524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like 'em! Are they skinnies? No. But are they cool looking? Yeah. How do you feel in them? Angie on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371488 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:18:49 +0000 Angie 371488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Please unroll the bottoms if that's not too much trouble? Suz on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371480 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:15:54 +0000 Suz 371480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm. I'm with Rae. They don't really look like skinnies. They seem baggy in the thigh a little bit, too. But it could just be the rolling. It really is hard to tell when they get bunched like that. The colour is great on you! crazyone on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371469 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:11:34 +0000 crazyone 371469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, don't feel bad about your calves, they're perfectly lovely! A few people have actually envied mine because they have larger calves and feel that their legs don't look as long because of that. But yeah, we really do all have skinny calves rae on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371465 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:08:45 +0000 rae 371465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hm. They don't really look like skinnies, for whatever reason. To me, they look baggy in the knee as well as the calf... Carole on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371460 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:06:05 +0000 Carole 371460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They do look a little big to me. catgirl on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371458 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:05:53 +0000 catgirl 371458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Exactly. They may look better if I get them hemmed instead of rolling in a half-a$$ way. Why DO we all have skinny calves? I hated my legs forever because of my scrawny calves. Even when I was running half-marathons, they just got stringier. Those dudes biking up the hills of Ladakh with grand pianos on their back and no gears on their bike - how is it possible?! crazyone on "the j brand skinnies - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-j-brand-skinnies-keep-or-return#post-371456 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 01:05:16 +0000 crazyone 371456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I should add that maybe it's the cuffing that makes the pants look less sleek, and I agree with rosee that they should be longer.
