There are so many lovely styles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to/page/2#post-1964601 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 04:49:32 +0000 shiny 1964601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm attracted to a lot of different silhouettes, but realistically what flatters my body the most are 1) high rises (for me that's 10" rise, not higher, and not lower than 9") and 2) skinny jeans. I struggle with anything cropped. I love cropped flares and wide leg crops but find them stumpifying. I love a full length flare if it's slim in the thighs and knees, but find those difficult to find as I am just 5'0, and also there's the practicality as I live in a snowy climate. I love the look of distressed jeans with rips, but on me they just look silly and they're cold. I love release hems and have a couple of pairs but I'm short enough that they hit too long unless worn with heels, which I don't wear much these days. Raw hems... aren't so versatile for work though I think I could just cut my jeans to be the right length for me (haven't tried this yet). Also it ticks me off as I think this is just a way to cut manufacturing costs. </p> <p>I am not much of a fan for boot cut. I never say never. But I think it's about when I "came of age" and first cared about jeans. That was in 7th grade, when overnight (summer between 6th and 7th) the fashion went from high rise bell bottom jeans to straight legs. Whereas bootcuts remind me of the personal "dark decade" in my life which for me was the 90s. I just have a lot of bad associations with anything 90s fashion, and that's because I was going through a personal dark time, no offense to the fashions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to/page/2#post-1964595 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 04:07:39 +0000 Anonymous 1964595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High or mid rise, slim straight full length, no distressing but raw hem ok. I don't want tight legs but like a slim leg, maybe boyfriend? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964592 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 03:44:39 +0000 Karie 1964592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roomier cuts and mid to high rises for sure. I am so over skinnies, although I still have one pair that are still going strong- they’re easy to style and wear on mornings when I’m too tired or suffering the effects of a head cold (like now). Also, no distressing. I already have a few distressed pairs and am not interested in adding any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964575 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 02:13:07 +0000 Janet 1964575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m reluctantly adopting some higher rises, but can’t do a truly *high* rise — I’m simply too short in the rise for it. I’ve tried on some jeans that are just comical in how long the rise reaches on me. </p> <p>I love the look of those exposed button-fly jeans, but they make the most sense if you wear cropped tops or tuck tops, and sadly, I just don’t look good in that style. Especially since so much denim is cropped these days. </p> <p>So it seems I’m attracted to styles that really don’t look good on me. I struggle with trendy denim because on me, simple and dark and elongating are much more flattering to slim my bottom half. Yawn. I can wear full length bootcuts well, so I guess that will be my “trendy” denim, even though it feels classic to me because it’s been my lifelong comfort zone in denim style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964569 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 01:14:34 +0000 Kate 1964569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High rise bootcuts.</p> <p>I bought the bootcut chinos Angie has and love the color and style, but the chinos are mid-rise on me, and I'm only doing high rises. Long may high rises dominate the market! So I'm looking for black full-length bootcuts. I love flares too, and have two pairs in non-denim, so I'm considering purchasing denim flares, but won't sink a lot of money in them.</p> <p>I still love and wear all my skinnies. I&nbsp; invested in a whole slew of them in a high rise over the last year, since a lot of my jeans were just worn out and I had to replace most of the heavy hitters. I can't imagine not having skinnies in my closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964563 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 00:28:26 +0000 wendy 1964563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Pedestrienne, thank you for the tip&nbsp; I'll look for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964560 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 23:56:59 +0000 Colette 1964560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m looking at higher rise jeans in straight cropped, not skinny styles which really don’t fit me well but I still like and are so practical. I will try full length, especially flares but they aren’t high on my list because I struggle with PPL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964558 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 23:48:08 +0000 Gigi 1964558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been fun reading about everyone's denim crushes! I think it's exciting that there are so many options out there right now.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was a little worried when high rises came back into style (I'm short waisted and have a larger bum), but I'm finding that if I get the right cut and style it properly, with the right top and right footwear, they can be very flattering.</p> <p>I hope all of you who are hunting for specific cuts can find what you're looking for. Like some of you, I have particulars that I'm looking for, but finding something that fits properly and feels good has been challenging.</p> <p>Loved your finds,&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>! The gold hardware is great. I hope to get a pair of high-rise flares in spring too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964543 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 21:48:33 +0000 Angie 1964543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA more detail:</p> <p>I'm revamping my jeans capsule this year - unexpectedly. Not enough trendy in what I have, and they're wardrobe essentials. I'm looking at these: </p> <ul> <li>#1 - I have. LOVE.</li> <li>#2 - about to commit to. Need to see a size down to compare fits. Will make final decision soon.

Wide leg crops, or slim tapered or "mom" type jeans. But it's all in the personal fit and that means a lot of trial and error. The pictures never seem to tell the whole story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964445 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 16:02:20 +0000 Like the Season 1964445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I were shopping -- which I'm not -- I'd be looking for high-rise skinnies without distressing. I never did hop on the skinnies train because mid-rise didn't work for me in that style. High-rise I think I could do, though, with Madewell, Everlane and J.Crew all offering good possibilities.</p> <p>If I were shopping, that is. </p> <p>Which I'm not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964442 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 15:47:24 +0000 Carla 1964442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High rise straights have been my go-to jeans forever (nice job girdling tummy). Recently got my first skinnies and have been enjoying them. I've worn raw edge for 2 years now, but flares look fresh to me so I will add them if I can. My closet is actually a little jeans heavy and I would like to add non-jeans pants to my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964438 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 15:40:07 +0000 LaPed 1964438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been rocking higher rises for a couple years, but mostly in tapered or cropped styles. Next I'd really like to find some classic bootcuts and maybe a pair of full-length wide-legs. Remember the old dark-rinse trouser jeans that BR and JCrew used to do so well? I'm hoping those make a comeback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964429 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 15:20:09 +0000 Anonymous 1964429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the higher rise, straight or wide or flared leg bandwagon. Cropped, or full length - I like both. &nbsp; But do you think I can actually find a pair in this apparently backwater city I live in? (that isn't in the premium price range) Even the GAP isn't into higher rise flares or wide legs here. It's skinnies everywhere. &nbsp;If i ever see a pair at a price I am willing to pay, I'll buy, but until then, I'll be classic in my relaxed skinnies ; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964417 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 14:37:53 +0000 Kathie 1964417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely exposed button fly.

They make my bottom look like it goes on (or down) forever and ever.<br /> I'd like a pair of dark rinse, no whiskers to point to wide hips, and straight leg. This seems hard to find in my size.<br /> I'm kind of tired of the jeans dilemma altogether! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964413 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 14:15:57 +0000 always trying 1964413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Currently my favs are high rise skinnies&nbsp;&nbsp; still wearing some mid rise skinnies.&nbsp; Love detailed bottoms, and have three pair. Nothing fancy like sequins or rufles, but just interesting bottoms.&nbsp; Since length is&nbsp; a problem with flares or bootcuts I am avoiding them for now. .Since I lost weight my BF's are too big so they are going out at my garage sale tomorrow.&nbsp; Am getting tired of rolling the bottoms, but will keep a couple of pair that will need a little cuff at the bottom to work with booties and sneakers. Otherwise will wear ankle length this winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964398 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 13:30:36 +0000 texstyle 1964398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking for a slight flare mid-rise right now but wondering if I can find the right length to wear with mostly flats (1" or so). Med. wash is usually what I go with so I don't have to deal with color transfer from the dark dyes. I did order one pair in a Petite length to see if that might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964391 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 13:21:30 +0000 Anonymous 1964391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just have 3 pr skinnies, including one embroidered, but wear jeans rarely so dont feel any need to add. But, i like the bootcuts with the open sides. Not sure the rise on mine as i haven't worn them since probably April, but probably high since lower ones slide down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964367 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:31:26 +0000 Minah Lynn 1964367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am now enjoying high waist jeans as they can cover the hump in my lower abdomen (common women problem) and light fabric square pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964365 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:26:57 +0000 kellygirl 1964365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me &nbsp;in on the high rise train. I've tried several pairs of Madewell--petite, regular, button fly, step hem and finally found a pair of JCrew high rise skinnies that fit the bill. I'd love a button fly but feel like that would be better suited for me as weekend wear. I'd also love a pair of higher rise bootcut but fit on those seems more challenging.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964362 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 11:39:07 +0000 Molly Mac 1964362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the mid rise and high rise with a cropped flare or wide leg. I have been wearing them with sandals and sneakers during the summer but will switch to a sock boot for fall/winter to keep my ankles warm. I am also looking for a pair of dark rinse baby bootcuts but so far nothing has been quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964357 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 11:07:26 +0000 kkards 1964357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>high rise with a straight or slighty wider leg....button fly and some kind of novelty leg treatment are an added bonus....and i still like the raw/unfinshed hem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-jeans-silhouettes-are-you-attracted-to#post-1964347 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 09:37:03 +0000 Anonymous 1964347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the high rises with or without button flies. &nbsp;I would like to find some full length jeans in dark wash that I can wear to work (no distressing).
