A column of color would help disguise where the top of the pants ends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2041166 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 15:07:34 +0000 Anonymous 2041166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pair looked slightly baggy try a size down, and I think a darker colored top (black perhaps) would go with them better. Being they are looser fit and your tucking in you should wear a wide belt with the jeans to give that boyfriend look, it would be perfect for this outfit and give it the finishing touch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028736 Mon, 20 May 2019 01:47:50 +0000 anne 2028736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, thanks - so it's the whole issue of volume on the bottom - that's fair. FWIW I think my most flattering jeans look is hands down bootcut - but the volume there is limited to the lower part of the leg</p> <p>To all saying "hold our for a higher waist" - I'm not sure I can. These are already sold as "high waist"&nbsp; If any Australians know of any <b>higher </b>waist jeans in this style I'm all ears!!</p> <p>Wow - the Cat - that's high praise indeed! Thanks very much</p> <p>Bennet&nbsp; - the new blue glasses are just my backup if I've misplaced the red ones. The family isn't keen on them so when I found my usual red ones I put them back on.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028699 Sun, 19 May 2019 21:12:58 +0000 Anonymous 2028699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that the smaller size is better, but can't hurt to try higher rise too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028691 Sun, 19 May 2019 20:54:34 +0000 Carla 2028691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liking the fuller leg style on you, and the smaller size. However, think it is an 8 and I would like you to hold out for a 10. Agree with those who think a higher waist would be most flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028674 Sun, 19 May 2019 19:33:11 +0000 Bennett 2028674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these, and if the price is right....&nbsp; These will look great with some flat sandals this summer. I always wear flats with my wide crops; not because of foot issues but they just go together to my eye. Along with flat boots when the gap needs to be covered in cooler weather.</p> <p>Have you abandoned your new glasses?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028671 Sun, 19 May 2019 19:07:48 +0000 rachylou 2028671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I like these wide crops on your figure (the smaller size). You have a strong shoulder line and they balance with it to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028627 Sun, 19 May 2019 16:04:00 +0000 The Cat 2028627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I must say, the fit of your new jeans look gorgeous! In fact, I have seldom seen anyone here on the forum or in real life look so great in a pair of jeans! I am especially impressed by the sidelook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028623 Sun, 19 May 2019 15:41:56 +0000 Janet 2028623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can easily get away with a waist worn higher — you’ve got that great slim long torso! I think the second pair fit better but this style will look better on you with a higher waist and a lower contrast top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028611 Sun, 19 May 2019 15:14:21 +0000 Anonymous 2028611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not an expert on jeans - especially these *new* mom jeans/highwaisted looks. &nbsp;I just know what works when I see it. &nbsp;With a long torso and shorter legs, I think denim volume on the bottom half is tricky. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028606 Sun, 19 May 2019 14:39:32 +0000 anne 2028606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, yes I do have some black culottes. They are crepe, with a gathered elastic waist band, so hard to compare with denim.<br /> Bijou, good thinking about the column of colour, but also a bit worrying, because my winter light coloured jumpers are mostly blue and it might clash. Also, it doesn't work without heels then it isn't for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028593 Sun, 19 May 2019 13:20:30 +0000 Bijou 2028593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the smaller size on you and think it looks good - you have a great figure and look slim and athletic - so I can't see any stumpy leg effect myself. </p> <p>However, I do think that a column of colour is always elongating, so if you want to make yourself look more leggy, heels and a column of colour (say a light coloured shirt) with a dark blazer would help. I often wear dark denim in the winter months because it is easy to wear with navy and black knits and a brighter topper. </p> <p>I really like how you are styling your hair - it looks fab!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028591 Sun, 19 May 2019 13:10:09 +0000 Jules 2028591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Come to think of it don’t you have culottes in black that work well for you? Get the same proportions in denim maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028589 Sun, 19 May 2019 12:40:22 +0000 Jules 2028589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a style with an extra high waist and wider legs? More of a culotte. I am short waisted and envy your lovely waist, seems perfect for tucking with the new high rises - just a matter of tweaking proportions I think.<br /> The skinnies look good I just see them as a different thing so not directly comparable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028586 Sun, 19 May 2019 10:07:28 +0000 anne 2028586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I forgot to add that I would only, or mostly wear flats with these. I realise my short legs are problematic.<br /> Adriana I haven't found any extra high rises in this style or at this reasonable cost. I did try super high skinnies. I think this was a bad picture of them ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028572 Sun, 19 May 2019 07:49:00 +0000 Adriana 2028572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size is better but I agree with DD 15. Could be higher, and you have a waist so you can tuck. I have the same issues as you. Long body, shorter legs. I always feel with wide cropped trousers that I don't have enough lenght in my legs for the pants, a bit of skin and booties.<br /> That didn't keep me from wearing one ha ha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028570 Sun, 19 May 2019 07:33:45 +0000 anne 2028570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, thanks for everyone who responded. Sorry for taking a while to get back to you. My excuse was a national election in Australia that distracted me a bit! </p> <p>So just to respond, all of you who said too much room, how is the smaller size?<br /> Bennett, don't worry, I line dry almost all of my clothes :-)<br /> Thanks for all the hair appreciation</p> <p>Lisa, thanks for your honesty. I think DD 15 agrees. What style would look better, do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028568 Sun, 19 May 2019 07:26:12 +0000 anne 2028568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here are pictures of the new one. Tags still on as I am not sure. Divided opinions in my house. DD11 and DH like, DD15 thinks not high waisted enough, which is probably true since my torso is so log, and thighs too baggy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028476 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:52:17 +0000 Anonymous 2028476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - wrong cut for your body. &nbsp;Hair looks great, I agree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028399 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:08:45 +0000 Sarah 2028399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're a little big on you.&nbsp; I would keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028362 Sat, 18 May 2019 18:54:59 +0000 Allison 2028362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you Anne!&nbsp; I'm thinking about buying something like that.&nbsp; Do the pant legs stay at your ankles when sitting down or does the pant legs ride up very much? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028357 Sat, 18 May 2019 18:12:07 +0000 Stephanie 2028357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length but think&nbsp;the thigh area is a bit bulky in fabric.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028315 Sat, 18 May 2019 15:47:34 +0000 Christina F. 2028315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet and Smittie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-jeans-1#post-2028309 Sat, 18 May 2019 15:42:57 +0000 Janet 2028309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don’t look like the greatest fit to me.
