My thighs are disproportionately large compared to the rest of my body, sadly, and have probably got bigger again recently.</p> <p>Deb - the second pair are the Danni Minouge ones from Target! I'll try your other suggestions.</p> <p>Sandra - I haven't heard of Wakee but I'll search them out</p> <p>Kiwimom - thanks. I have tried to stop buying from Ezibuy since I moved to a capital city (I was tired of paying for shipping) but I'll keep it in mind as a last resort.</p> <p>I am not sure if we have Kutfromthe Kloth or Lucky jeans in Australian but I'll look!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1567095 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 23:06:04 +0000 Joyce B 1567095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz about sizing up for white jeans. The second photo looks very nice, maybe it will work in the next size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1567069 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 21:19:36 +0000 Sandra Brooks 1567069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann I bought a pair recently in Melbourne. The brand is Wakee 99% cotton 1% elastane. They are a great fit for me. No pocket problems but I shortened them a little. Good luck with the hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1567057 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 20:41:53 +0000 Linda 1567057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling envious as I just laundered my white jeans to put away for the winter. You can definitely find a pair that works!!! I agree with the previous posters in that you need a less skinny pair. I like KutFromTheCloth boyfriend jeans. Can you get them in Australia?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1567052 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 20:19:47 +0000 Kiwimom 1567052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having the same problem, and I'm pear shaped so not sure white jeans are for me.</p> <p>I did try on some at Ezibuy that weren't too bad. The Capture straight leg jean is a heavier weight, no pocket show through. But definitely go up a size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1567018 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 18:55:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1567018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that you need to keep trying and look for straights rather than skinnies. Do you have Lucky brand in Australia? I got a pair of bootcuts in their Lolita cut and a pair of straight legs in the Sweet Jean cut. Both are mid-rise curvy styles, so they aren't too fitted in the thigh. I also probably bought a size larger than I would have in a dark denim. I'm happy with the fit and the look of the white denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566942 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 15:03:22 +0000 Stephanie 1566942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - don't give up! Just look for thicker pairs, and maybe try some with a mid or higher rise too. Love the cobalt and white combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566935 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 14:52:21 +0000 Anonymous 1566935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours in this outfit are so fab and summery on you. You must keep trying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566932 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 14:46:10 +0000 Angie 1566932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try straight legs instead of skinnies, Anne.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES. You need thick denim to prevent the transparency.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566854 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 09:25:03 +0000 Bijou 1566854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I find a pair of white jeans that work, they are wonderful workhorses. Of course the quest is always where to find them. &nbsp;I have been meaning to check out Trenery's slim boyfriend jeans in the off white colour, because I need a new pair of white jeans for spring / summer too. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.trenery.com.au/shop/womenswear/the-denim-store">http://www.trenery.com.au/shop.....enim-store</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566846 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 09:10:40 +0000 DizzyLizzy 1566846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Maneera. White skinnies are just too hard to find a flattering fit. I prefer a more substantial fabric in a straight leg with no more than 2% lycra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566845 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 09:05:49 +0000 Maneera 1566845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. White jeans are not easy to buy! </p> <p>I prefer a thicker denim....not the lightweight variety as that ensures the pockets don't show. My favourite white jeans have faux-pocket design ---there are no pockets; but it looks Iike there are pockets from outside. Just seaming detail in reality. For another lightweight pair I got recently, I cut off the pockets and sewed the edge. </p> <p>I find white skinnies a bit hard to find plus wear too. I much prefer a relaxed skinny fit or slim fit, or straight leg jeans. Bootcuts are great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566780 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 03:27:43 +0000 Lyn D. 1566780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne- my Sportscraft ones from last year have worked well for me :)<br />Deborah recently found a slouchy pair from Valley Girl.<br />Good Luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566777 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 03:24:54 +0000 Deborah 1566777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same problem. Have you tried Katie's? Valley Girl had some nice ones. And have a look on line at Motto. There's look good but I haven't seen them IRL yet. You are taller than me but the crops are often longer on us regular people :). Have a look at Target too. Danni Minogue range has some nice ones. Oh and I liked some I saw in Suzanne Grae. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566773 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 03:22:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1566773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my white jeans!&nbsp; My newer, cropped pair are made by Denizen (a division of Levi's found a Target here in the states).&nbsp; I did size up.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566768 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 03:11:22 +0000 Suz 1566768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Levis. Can you get those in Australia?&nbsp;</p> <p>And for white jeans, you often need to size up.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566757 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 02:31:14 +0000 missvee 1566757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely keep trying. I must have rejected at least a dozen pairs before buying some. And don't forget the front pockets are usually easy to sew shut and remove if that's the only issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566724 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 01:11:34 +0000 BethT 1566724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep trying.&nbsp; The fit is off a bit, but definitely a no on the pockets.</p> <p>My white jeans have pretend pockets in the front. They are about 1" deep, so I get the illusion of real pockets, but not the visible pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566722 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 01:09:03 +0000 catgirl 1566722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just went for a distressed slouchy BF pair. Skinnies were too much for me to handle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-jeans-may-not-be-happening-for-me#post-1566718 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 01:05:26 +0000 anne 1566718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried 2 pairs yesterday and am not impressed. Visible pockets and too sausage casing on the thighs.<br /> Any thoughts or suggestions? Remember I'm in Australia! </p>
