Might have to try those Mangos.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am enjoying this trend. We had such a warm fall that I could wear the cropped flared BR jeans until Christmas. Now it's too cold for them. But I cut off an old pair of higher waisted skinnies and have been continuing to wear those at times with boots, which of course gives a different look but does extend the wearing season. For the most part this, like BF jeans, must be spring/ fall in my climate, but as someone who wears jeans often I love having options!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606466 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 06:16:46 +0000 Debbie 1606466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely going to try these! Thanks for helping us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606443 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 04:19:41 +0000 crst 1606443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, those are cute and the price is right. Are they pronounced flares? Are they relatively fitted through the thighs? The black look cuter on the model, but of course both pictures are of the same style. Their pics are throwing me off a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606392 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 03:03:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1606392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will have to try them on. Like Laura, I'm skeptical, with the shape of my calves. And I kind of groan inwardly when I see that a new shape is in style, once I've finally gotten a collection of denim that I really like. All that hard work of finding the right pairs. . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606389 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:59:54 +0000 Sal 1606389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I like it too! Great to have choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606384 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:52:28 +0000 Jaime 1606384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I am on board Angie - my winters aren't that cold but the roads do get wet, and I love anything to show off my shoes. I posted the Mango ones last week. They do run small and I think I will have them hemmed a bit, but the interesting thing is the fringe is a seems to be sewn on, so I think a tailor will be able to put it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606381 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:46:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1606381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For more spring / summer looks, a shoe that laces up the ankle might be a gap filler. I like the idea of these but suspect that, on me, all the laces might wind up around my ankle bone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606372 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:34:09 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1606372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at the photos I am not instantly drawn to these. The jury will be out until I try some on and see how they feel. They are definitely fashion forward in my world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606371 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:30:57 +0000 Janet 1606371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just spotted a couple of pairs in this silhouette in black. Interesting.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shopbop.com/layla-crop-flare-denim-trouser/vp/v=1/1580837203.htm">https://www.shopbop.com/layla-.....837203.htm</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shopbop.com/equestrian-crop-straight-leg-rag/vp/v=1/1518993364.htm">https://www.shopbop.com/equest.....993364.htm</a></p> <p>I wonder if the fit on the R&amp;B is anything like the Dres. I have a credit at Shopbop so I may need to try these.

They don't look quite like the finds pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606265 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 22:40:06 +0000 Aziraphale 1606265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I might give it a try. My first reaction is that it makes the models' legs look short, but I bet it would be OK with heeled ankle boots rather than pumps. It's the exposed expanse of ankle that bothers me.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606168 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 18:01:03 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1606168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to chime in and say, try them if you like the look. I'm short with large calves and I wore the BR petite flared crops with boots yesterday and I absolutely loved them on me. The flare hits below the wide part of my calf so doesn't emphasize it. I' m 5'1 1/2 and these jeans have a 24" inseam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606156 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:14:22 +0000 kkards 1606156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks angie, i did try to buy the gap pair that you bought, but the last time i checked they were sold out….but these are on my winter/early spring need list…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606150 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:01:41 +0000 Angie 1606150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, try a petite in a straight leg style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606148 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:55:43 +0000 kkards 1606148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm struggling with this…..i'm totally on board with the cropped cuffed….been on board with that for a while….having issues with the wider leg, mostly with finding the correct length….</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606145 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:44:56 +0000 Angie 1606145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to hear ladies. I have a busy day, so my apologies for not getting back to you individually. Here are a few answers to the questions:</p> <ul> <li>Gigi, I sized down and bought a petite in the Gap Girlfriends to get the fit you describe, and kept the cuffs UN-rolled. See my last outfit post for visuals.</li> <li>Umlilla, seen a few shades of ecru jeans at higher price points - Anna linked to a pair - but it's still early days. You can wear white jeans year round though, (and I do).&nbsp;</li> <li>OF COURSE petites can wear this style. All you need to do is chop shorter to keep proportions balanced.</li> <li>Cropped<b> skinnies</b> and <b>straight legs </b>are easier to wear than cropped flares. I like the cropped straight legs best because they flare out a little, but not as much as the pukka flare.&nbsp;</li> <li>By all means chop an old pair of jeans to get the look. I've done that to an old pair of white skinnies and black straight legs.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>If you love jeans - consider getting this style. All my clients are going to throw in a pair of these - but with a skinny or straight leg most of the time. They are more practical in Seattle then long flares - which I love too.&nbsp;</p> <p>For the last 3 to 4 years it was BF jeans, and now it's this. I am WELCOMING the sleek fit around my hips, waist and thighs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606045 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 14:18:03 +0000 Janet 1606045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I said I'd hold off on getting any more of these, but I realized when I wore mine last that I might find a darker wash pair even more useful than the light wash pair I have. One nice thing about this style is that I don't have to worry about the pants being long enough for me, for a change! </p> <p>I would probably choose a fit that's a little less boyfriend-y loose and more fitted than the CE's I have. I don't want a tight thigh and a lot of flare on the leg though -- I feel like that is not a great look on thick thighs like mine. More of a straighter, gentle flare. Now how hard could it be to find that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606030 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 13:42:37 +0000 viva 1606030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need another pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606029 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 13:42:08 +0000 Helena 1606029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm all over this, cropped or cuffed pants are part of my style that I only sacrifice for winter-weather purposes. So right Angie, it really does freshen up a wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1606024 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 13:21:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1606024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I think it was those. It's such a drag when you get fixed on one kind of thing and it's either nowhere to be found or not in the size thst fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1605959 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 08:19:32 +0000 Cococat 1605959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely in for Winter. I'm not sure if I will chop mine or buy new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1605945 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 06:54:39 +0000 Kaelyn 1605945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial feeling looking at them is "eh, I don't think I could make those look good." But I will absolutely not knock them until I try them because a few years ago I said I'd never wear jeggings and here I am, madly in love with them. Since they're trendy and I'm plus size and on a budget I may not find any for a while, but it'll give me time to see them on others and end up really liking them, I'm sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season/page/2#post-1605930 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 05:01:08 +0000 annagybe 1605930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummlila were these it?<br /> <a href="http://shop.mango.com/US/p0/women/clothing/pants/flare-crop-trousers/?id=53057012_02&#038;n=1&#038;s=prendas.pantalones&#038;ident=0__0_1453524735368&#038;ts=1453524735368&#038;p=140&#038;page=8" rel="nofollow">http://shop.mango.com/US/p0/wo.....038;page=8</a></p> <p>Unfortunately the size 8, largest available wouldn't work either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season#post-1605928 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 04:57:44 +0000 rachylou 1605928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope so!

They are perfect for casual looks for me with my collection of high shaft boots. However I am struggling with how much to hem and need some input. Pictures coming up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season#post-1605918 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 04:15:29 +0000 Janet 1605918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I had the same thought about capris when this trend started to appear. It's grown on me though. I enjoy the pair I have, but I'm not jumping on any additional cropped jeans until I find myself wearing the ones I have so much that I need more. They're rather season-specific for me -- too much for summer, and a little too bare for winter. Considering I also cuff my other jeans to get this effect to a certain extent, I may have this look pretty covered without buying any more. However, I am attracted to those white ones. We'll see... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season#post-1605916 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 03:54:59 +0000 Joyce B 1605916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking that for people with short legs a crop straight or crop very slight flare might be better since a full crop flare will make the legs look shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season#post-1605915 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 03:53:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1605915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of these look like the oft-derided capris of a few years ago to me. Everything old is new again...</p> <p>I personally am not that excited about this. My calves are substantial enough; they don't need emphasis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-silhouette-of-the-season#post-1605912 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 03:47:35 +0000 CocoLion 1605912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An informative thread with all of the pictures. Mary I went ahead and had 2 pairs shortened. One at 25.5" the other at 23.5". This kind of Jean requires ppl so I think it's worth it to hire a tailor. </p>
