Much to ponder here.<br />Staysfit and Skylurker, the smaller ones do feel quite tight. Part of what appealed to me with the larger ones was the very comfy fit from the start. <br />StyleFan, I think you are onto something. I think the 100% cotton can stretch out, and I'm hoping they'll be comfy. But if not, I may take both pairs back.<br />Staysfit, Angie, and others who like the big cuff--I tend to agree, the wide cuff is part of what I love about the style. If I shortened the pants, I'd keep the wide cuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule/page/2#post-1820929 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 16:11:51 +0000 skylurker 1820929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size down fits better, yes.<br /> (I'm often tempted to buy trousers too big. The boyfriend fashion didn't help. And I'm always afraid to be constricted). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule/page/2#post-1820928 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 16:02:54 +0000 Dianna 1820928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3-4(smaller size) are better.&nbsp; Love the cuffs, I think they add interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule/page/2#post-1820917 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 15:05:16 +0000 Angie 1820917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size MUCH better.

Of course it can be as am a big fan of monochromatic bl&amp;w outfit, and your shopping one is a masterpiece, not else, wow!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule/page/2#post-1820877 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 11:24:17 +0000 Staysfit 1820877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I disagree with people who think the cuffs are too big. I like them. Maybe it's an eye adjustment, but I think they look great. If you make them smaller they would be more like regular cuffed jeans and I think the fun of these is the wide cuff. IMO it needs to look purposeful/deliberate to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule/page/2#post-1820876 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 11:20:23 +0000 Staysfit 1820876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size looks best in photo. Do they feel too tight? The fit in the bum is great but that may make them snug there too and if the denim is thick and stiff perhaps uncomfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule/page/2#post-1820870 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 10:57:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1820870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your tops are sooo gorgeous.

I always seem to buy jeans based on the store fit and then have to wash them after even a short wear because they bag so much. I recently bought some NYDJ linen trousers that seemed great &nbsp;and after an hour they were falling off. I had not taken off the tags, so was able to return them for a smaller size.</p> <p>The size smaller does not look tight at all from the front or rear view, but fits much better. Obviously comfort is key, but from a looks perspective, the smaller is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820815 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 03:37:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1820815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Runcarla. These are 100% cotton, and a thick denim with not much give. I think 100% cotton can stretch, too. I'm trying to wear the smaller ones around the house a little while to see what happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820812 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 03:22:36 +0000 Carla 1820812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely #3/4 - the derrière fits so much better. Are they 100% cotton or is there some synthetic? Sometimes (like, lots of times!) blends stretch over the course of the day, and what was comfortable becomes too loose, and what is snug, fits just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820801 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 02:49:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1820801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all--<br />here are <b>photos comparing the two sizes of the Pilcro jeans</b>.<br />Photos 1 &amp; 2 are the larger size.<br />Photos 3 &amp; 4 are the smaller size (one size down).</p> <p>I may end up deciding based on feel, but I'd be interested in your input on how they compare visually.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820659 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 16:37:18 +0000 karen13 1820659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Pilcro jeans look great from the front, but the excess fabric at the back pooches at the bottom of the pockets which says "too big" to me. I bet a size down would fix the problem. I seem to always buy my pants too big and end up regretting it after a few hours of wear.</p> <p>Love the white jeans - this may be the year I finally break down and buy some, if I can find a pair that doesn't calf suck! The mint color doesn't seem like you although they look great from a fit perspective. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820640 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 15:15:05 +0000 Angie 1820640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good, Sharan. I like the turn-up idea, and take pics of the size down on the Pilcro jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820594 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 11:24:42 +0000 Staysfit 1820594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, your jeans may feel tighter when you wear them, but they certainly do not look that way in these pictures. You look really beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820537 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 05:06:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1820537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your very thoughtful comments! It really helps to get your perspectives, as it's so hard to judge sihouettes, fit, lengths, etc. on myself, especially when I'm dealing with new styles like this. </p> <p>I will admit I'm not enamored with the photos of me in the Pilcro jeans. I loved them in the store and again in front of my own mirror. In the photos, I'm not completely happy with the proportion of the cuff and the length on me, but I'm wondering if it's partly because I'm comparing myself to the long-legged model--never a winning proposition! I may try playing with the cuff and seeing if I can make it look less jarring. I also think I will go back to the store and see if the next size down is available to try. While I like the way this size feels, sometimes there isn't that big a difference in sizes, and if the next smaller one fits, it may look better. </p> <p>I'm going to return the mint ones. I don't think I'd wear them. </p> <p>I wore the cream ones today!! <b>Angie</b>, after I saw your comment, I turned up the hem a couple of inches. I kind of liked them that way. I don't know if I want to cut them or just continue to wear them turned up. They are comfortably loose, but not baggy, and I really, really like the way they look and feel. They are kind of like a very high-waisted slim boyfriend fit, and the denim is substantial. </p> <p>Thanks for the compliments on my shopping outfit and on my tops! It's nice to know the jeans I wore shopping still work well, even though they are a little tighter on me this year than they were last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820530 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 04:03:40 +0000 Anonymous 1820530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think number one looks so amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820525 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 03:01:43 +0000 Jaime 1820525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the wide cuffs and the first pair of white jeans, you wear jeans so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820503 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 23:55:22 +0000 Emily K 1820503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pilcro jeans the best. &nbsp;For myself, I might consider shortening them by an inch and removing the heavy cuff. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-jeans-capsule#post-1820500 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 23:12:20 +0000 Sal 1820500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look great in jeans - I do like the cropped ones and the white.
