The fit is so perfect on you Suz!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2316938 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 15:58:24 +0000 Suz 2316938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jules</b>, I'm so glad!! We've been lucky with ON jeans in the past year or so. And GAP. For years, they did not work for me -- now, suddenly, better luck. So interesting!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2316914 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:41:54 +0000 Jules 2316914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz! I ordered the ON jeans in my normal size 14 and I love them. They just cover my belly button (I have a short waist but a normal rise I think) and fit well everywhere. Length is perfect for me to wear with flats like my underused blush Birkenstock Buckleys. And the full length does make them wearable now or at least pretty soon, vs. so many seasons of trying to work with cropped pants. I’m excited! Thanks for posting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2316044 Sat, 01 Apr 2023 00:04:13 +0000 Zaeobi 2316044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz<br /> No worries, I figured - just throwing it out there based on my first impressions </p> <p>They're great jeans though - &amp; your modelling of the ON ones is tempting me too! But alas, I think I need to sit on my hands for a bit when it comes to blue jeans... I'm glad to see dark washes trending again (I still only see people wearing light &amp; mid washes out here though!), but I think coloured denim works better for me at this leg of my style journey. </p> <p>Plus I have to remember I'm no longer in a 4 season, 'denim all year' sort of climate </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2316038 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 23:48:58 +0000 Jonesy 2316038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look magical on you, Suz--you were made for this style!! They look so chic and the fit is immaculate. I would wager that they will both become workhorses for you, with all kinds of footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2316010 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 19:46:05 +0000 notsaf 2316010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do not crop! I adore that long length on you, which I've never seen before. They make you look so elegant and tall -- but the shape and color are also very current. Fabulous!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2315992 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:58:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2315992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these on you, Suz. The light wash blues are great, especially for summer with the footwear you're showing here. Score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2315990 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:52:44 +0000 Suz 2315990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>KMM</b>, I would try them on, anyway. Angie also has a lower rise but she is able to wear this new style. They fit a lot differently from some of the older wide legs.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Zaeobi,</b> for sure, the style of the sandal definitely adds to the shortening effect. It won't necessarily be the shoe I'll wear with these; it's just what I had to hand. I wasn't really trying to style them at all -- just a try on for fit. I think the ON jean would absolutely work on you and the price is reasonable, especially if you get a sale, so it might be worth a try.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2315979 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 16:12:05 +0000 KMM 2315979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz these look fab on you.&nbsp; Indigoprint beat me to it re: question about the rises.&nbsp; I love wide leg pants and would be happily throwing all of my money at them but I need a 9.5" rise or lower, which are proving to be scarce still.&nbsp; You rock those high rises!<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs/page/2#post-2315976 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 16:06:11 +0000 Zaeobi 2315976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those ON wide legs are fabulous on you - I like how the waist is fitted but the backseat is deliberately a little slouchy (in a cool rather than oversized way). I need a ~12" rise to effectively cover all the junk in the trunk (&amp; the car bonnet/ hood, lol!), so it's useful to know we have a similar height/ denim fit! </p> <p>Speaking of which, you mentioned Levi's - their classic 501s never work for me. But I've had surprising luck with the fit of Lee jeans (especially vintage styles), so they may be another denim brand to consider? </p> <p>I also like the Gap crops on you but agree with the others that the full-length Old Navy's are so much more leg lengthening on you! I wonder whether the horizontal line of your ankle strap sandals has more to do with that than the hemline, though? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315973 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 15:34:09 +0000 Suz 2315973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. I get it about rise heights. For those who have a very short rise, the high rise <b>generally </b>won't work as well. How well I remember the days of "mid-rise" that was closer to low rise on long rise me. And low rises that ended below my hip bones. Or pressed into my hip bones in an agonizing way.</p> <p>Having said that, I do find the recent higher rises much, much more forgiving and they tend to work of a wider cross section of body shapes and sizes, in part because a lot of them have are more proportionate than the first high rises were. The back rise is longer, there are often darts at the waist, and so on. And the shape of the bottoms makes them either flare attractively or drape, depending on the fabric.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jules,</b> I will certainly wear them with sneakers for cooler spring days. In fact, I did so, yesterday! We are just moving out of boot weather here -- so probably not boots for much longer. But the white ones <b>do </b>work -- I wear them with the Everlane jeans all the time. The Everlanes are the jeans for transitional weather -- they are more substantial and "crisper" so they work brilliantly in March and April temps and will be great in October, too. They will be a bit hot for later spring. But these ON jeans will fill that gap. And even be wearable in summer, to an extent. The GAP crops more so, of course.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>lyn67</b>, these don't feel like the older wide legs did -- rigid or boxy. In some cases it is the fabrication and in some cases the cut.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315966 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 14:37:07 +0000 lynn 2315966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, you look fabulous in both pairs of jeans!! &nbsp;I can’t even pick a favorite! &nbsp;I struggle with long shirts unless they look good untucked. I can tie them at the waist but that is never my most comfortable outfit. &nbsp;Anyway,&nbsp;You look beautiful ! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315963 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 14:16:28 +0000 BlueJay 2315963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Fantastic, Suz! </b>Old Navy and The Gap have been amazing for me for the past two or three years. I hadn't bought anything from Gap since c. 2002! HA! Now I have one pair of jeans and one pair of pants. Love the lilac shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315957 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:58:59 +0000 Jules 2315957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also wanted to mention that I think the longer ones, worn with that top but shoes instead of sandals, would make a great transitional spring outfit (on a dry day), for those colder "spring" days where we want something visually lighter and fresh but it's not actually that warm yet. Your white boots would probably work?</p> <p>Anyway between yours and mtnsofthemoon's reviews&nbsp;I am probably going to be ordering some new jeans today ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315954 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:35:38 +0000 Indigoprint 2315954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz...I appreciate you taking the time to explain with details and examples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315952 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:20:12 +0000 RobinF 2315952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! I am always happy to spend less when I am unsure that I will actually like the trend. The high rises just won't work for me and from what I have seen most inexpensive wider leg styles are high rise. I like the linen shirt too. Pretty color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315951 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:18:49 +0000 Helena 2315951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315950 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:12:59 +0000 Janet 2315950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look so fantastic on you, Suz! Isn’t it great to discover new-to-you item that fits so seamlessly into your style?</p> <p>I’d be tempted to try those jeans but that rise is likely too long for me. I don’t know if I really *need* more, but I’m so enjoying my wider legged jeans! I get compliments and questions whenever I wear my Nili Lotan Celias. Even my sister asked about them when she saw a photo, and I had to admit they were ridiculously expensive. But I’m wearing and enjoying them so much it’s worth it! If I were smart, I’d be searching out a *darker wash* wide leg pair! I think I have the light and mid wash covered between these two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315943 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 11:32:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2315943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans on you, especially the first pair.&nbsp; The shirt looks great tied. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315938 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 11:23:34 +0000 Anonymous 2315938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first pair of jeans especially!

I hate skinnies and love a crop wide leg but sported&nbsp; them only in more fluid weighty fabrics till now and also&nbsp; I could not embrace the full length version for me yet-not to speak about jeans so rigid-I am not slender anymore and always feel like a block in them but great IRL visuals, thank you-maybe I can warm myself up for them somehow with the time passing...(I am always late with trends:-((). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315912 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 07:41:46 +0000 bella 2315912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds!

It's official -- Mr. Suz, who chuckled when he first saw the wide legs&nbsp; (like half the people I've run into) today announced that he LOVES them.&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; &nbsp;I definitely benefit from the leg lengthening from a figure flattery perspective, but I agree, it's more a good style fit than anything else.&nbsp;</p> <p>I did wear these back when I was a teen so maybe they just feel natural. Anyway. I will enjoy the trend while it lasts.&nbsp;</p> <p>Still a huge fan of BF jeans, too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jules</b>, I agree, and I think the denim is actually better in the past few years than it was maybe a decade ago. I like that they show on models of various sizes and shapes as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Rachy</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-the-trend-tickles-milk-it-reviews-of-lower-priced-wide-legs#post-2315896 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 03:21:42 +0000 Jaime 2315896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The long wide leg jeans are your jeans style Suz! Who knew? I agree with Angie about the leg lengthening but more than that long wide legs just seem jive with your style perfectly.
