My first choice is #2, but I also like #1 on you a lot. I agree that #1 is more versatile, being longer, and you can roll them to get a similar effect to #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149395 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:24:48 +0000 Anonymous 2149395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the first pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149355 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 07:13:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 2149355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your figure looks astoundingly good in the first pair. Wowsa!<br /> The second pair is mildly stumpifying in comparison although still good, but as a fellow short person I would prefer some that made me look like the first pair makes you look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149345 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 03:28:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2149345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look amazing on you! The first pair are keepers for sure. But I agree with Suz that the second pair could be just as good with slightly different styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149327 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 23:39:33 +0000 Bijou 2149327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are fabulous and so chic with you black sweater and beautiful hair. #1 for cooler temps is what I would keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149319 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 21:50:37 +0000 Gigi 2149319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal</b> and <b>Gisele</b>,&nbsp;thanks for chiming in!</p> <p><b>nuancedream</b>, I love Audrey Tatou!

(I like the second pair but agree showing skin at your ankles would be key.) You have a high waist, but your rise is long, so you look pretty balanced to me! The high rise really lengthens your legs!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149195 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 22:19:43 +0000 Gigi 2149195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phoebe, a longer top is a great idea for fixing the proportions.</p> <p>Angie, thanks for the compliment! :)</p> <p>kkards, I agree that the first pair seems more versatile.</p> <p>La Ped, I wish I could keep both, but my budget has other ideas!</p> <p>Carla, thanks for your input on the fit!

I'd love to see the cropped ones as part of a summer outfit (bare ankles, different shoes -- as Suz suggests). I think they'd be perfect in spring/summer. For winter, the full length is probably more useful and it sounds like that's the pair that makes you happier, but if you have room in your closet and budget, I say keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149154 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:00:59 +0000 kkards 2149154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hair! Fab!<br />re the jeans, love them both...if i had to pick 1 I’d go for the full length pair in the 1st set of pictures...you can always cuff or roll them if you want to show off your footwear, but you can’t add length to the shorter pair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149127 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:35:49 +0000 Angie 2149127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both! Will make them top picks. KILLER x2.&nbsp; </p> <p>Soooo much better on you than on the model :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149123 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:31:25 +0000 Anonymous 2149123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like they both fit well and are flattering. I agree with Suz that the second pair might be just as winning as the first with a proportion adjustment although what stood out to me as needing adjustment was the ratio of crotch to waist versus crotch to leg hem. I might try a longer top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149075 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 05:05:06 +0000 Gigi 2149075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz,&nbsp;</b>thanks for chiming in with your expert eye! Good idea about styling the second pair differently to make them more flattering. The weather here is already quite chilly, so there might not be many bare ankles in my near future!</p> <p><b>slim cat,&nbsp;</b>I had actually flirted with the idea of undoing the hem, ha! And to be the object of hair envy...wow, you just made my day! :)</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, both pairs feel good comfort-wise, though my initial thought on the second pair is that it is definitely shorter than I'd like. I almost ordered the regular (nonpetite) version for more length, but I have not had luck with the rise on J.Crew's regular pants in the past, so I'm hesitant to try it.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149073 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 04:47:31 +0000 Anonymous 2149073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both. The first pair shows off your curves more. The second are more skimming and a bit too short Which feel best on you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149069 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 04:04:13 +0000 slim cat 2149069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the first pair - looks perfect!&nbsp;<br />The cropped jeans could work out - I'd consider undoing the hem and wearing it unfinished with sneakers or sandals with a bit of a lift ( like Fly London ).<br />Your hair is my envy . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149063 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 03:46:46 +0000 Suz 2149063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gigi,</b> you look fabulous! Your hair is the perfect gamine complement to your frame. So nice to see you post.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the first pair. Keep those for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>But if you also want a pair for slightly warmer/ mid-range temps, try styling the second pair with sneakers / bare ankles or sporty sandals and summery tops. I would wear that pair in a heartbeat in early fall/ spring. They look good on you -- it's just a question of adjusting the proportions of the rest of the outfit to show them to their best advantage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149062 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 03:37:57 +0000 Gigi 2149062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, SarahD8! I think maybe the second pair emphasizes my short-waistedness more. The proportions are definitely different.</p> <p>Thanks for the hair comments. I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago. I love long hair, but short hair always looks better on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149060 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 03:25:43 +0000 SarahD8 2149060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree! I like the first pair (and your hair!). I'm not as fond of the cropped pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149059 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 02:53:22 +0000 Gigi 2149059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shevia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149052 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 02:08:29 +0000 Jaime 2149052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, I love your hair! I think the full length (first pair) jeans look excellent on you and I would go for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-straight-legs#post-2149045 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 01:41:30 +0000 Gigi 2149045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After lots of looking around, I finally came across two pairs of straight-leg jeans that might fit the bill (I am short and curvy, with short thighs, and straight legs are difficult for me).&nbsp;</p> <p>Pair 1: Silver's Avery fit in the eco-friendly wash, in short inseam. <br />Pair 2: J. Crew's curvy fit, vintage straight, in the petite sizing.</p> <p>I sized up one size in both pairs to get that "effortless" French chic look.</p> <p><b>Which pair do you think looks better?<br /></b><b>Which length do you prefer?</b><br /><b>Is one of these OK, or should I keep looking?</b></p> <p><b></b>Honest feedback is appreciated. My feelings won't be hurt if neither of these looks up to par. It's just clothing, after all. :)<b></b> </p> <p>P.S. I played with the contrast and brightness a bit because my apartment is really dark, so that is why some of the photos look a little odd.</p>
