Thank you for sharing that. I spent a bit more than I wanted for used tbh. Wish I hadn't now. &nbsp;I'll give them a wear and see what happens! Otherwise, might resale/donate them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383481 Wed, 02 Apr 2025 18:16:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2383481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ket, I have owned one pair ever. I thought I might have a pic in one of my early posts but can’t find it. I bought them maybe a decade ago but eventually donated them because they would always dig in to my waist and feel uncomfortable. Not horribly uncomfortable, still wearable, but after quite a few years I thought why am I doing this, my other pants just feel way better so goodbye to these ones!<br /> Worth trying yours for several hours if you get a chance, to check. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383475 Wed, 02 Apr 2025 17:28:18 +0000 Ket 2383475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan</b>, *blushing* thank you for such kind words! :)&nbsp;I agree about more fluid fits right now. I haven't had a chance to wear this pair for an afternoon to stretch them out. I do wonder if they will even stretch much more?? I have a feeling they were ran through the dryer a lot and are older in general; so not sure if they much to give in the give dept? But we shall see! I might need to try some City Chic trousers soon, so I have some fluid fits for the coming autumn/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383471 Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:58:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2383471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others that this style is really good for you, but I'd like to see a slightly more fluid fit, whether from a size up or if this pair stretches. I think the trouser styles offered now in jeans are cut to be more fluid and to drop down from the derrière, rather than cupping under it. That said, either cut will look super on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383465 Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:26:12 +0000 Ket 2383465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another good idea! I don’t at the moment but plan to for this summer. I’ll try it when I get some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383463 Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:22:34 +0000 Jules 2383463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or do you have any thigh saver or thin bicycle type shorts that could be worn in place of undies? They might also smooth things out a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383458 Wed, 02 Apr 2025 15:11:41 +0000 Ket 2383458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will have to try those!

Thank you! I'm actually wondering if these will never loosen? &nbsp;The fabric doesn't give me that feeling even when I tried them on. That said, still need to wear them for a day. Things got hectic here with appointments and commuting, so I haven't had the chance to try them out. I am definitely on the look out for more wide leg shapes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383247 Fri, 28 Mar 2025 19:46:20 +0000 SW Ann 2383247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was about to say the NYDJ do sometimes stretch out--but not always.&nbsp; I had a pair that was tight tight tight, and never loosened. I counted on them doing so, and finally had to thrift them.&nbsp; Wear them awhile, and stretch and bend and see what they do.&nbsp; I love the wide leg on you but the torso seems a bit tight to me.&nbsp; Good luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383199 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 01:27:01 +0000 Ket 2383199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, that's a good point about just trying them for a day. Why not and then know. Thank you for such a lovely compliment That makes my night! I definitely want to try more wider leg pants... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383197 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 01:23:28 +0000 Jaime 2383197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie and Donna said - I like them on you but want them to be just a touch looser and more skimming. But they might stretch out - might as well wear them for a day and see. Definitely worth sizing up otherwise, they make your legs look miles long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383193 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 00:34:36 +0000 Ket 2383193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>DonnaF</b> ooooh! That is very helpful to know. Thank you! I’ll give that a try and see what happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383189 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 22:37:58 +0000 DonnaF 2383189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NYDJ is notorious for stretching out, so wear them for a few hours while bending and playing pretzel. If they don’t stretch, pass them and keep searching for a similar pair as the style in general looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383188 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 22:15:10 +0000 Ket 2383188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, that's exactly the type of fit I prefer in a wide leg!! It's definitely an A-line, with the hips more fitted. I'm really glad you shared that. And thank you for sharing your finds! I will see if I can find a similar pair soon. I want to get them back into my wardrobe. I love a slim leg, but the wide is such a refreshing change right now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383181 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 20:13:04 +0000 Ket 2383181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone!! This is all helpful and confirms what I thought. <br />I haven't worn them enough to know if they stretch out. Truthfully, I feel rather let down that they're so snug and not a great fit off the bat.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I might try them with different underwear, but honestly, they're probably too snug and I'll need to size-up or consider a different brand.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, oh thank you for the feedback re: wider legs. I will see if I can find them in a larger size. I actually am loving wider legs on me, which I never thought I would say! Still love a slim leg, but wide legs are just floating my boat. :D&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383172 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 19:19:06 +0000 RobinF 2383172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the consensus - great style, probably a little too small. Unless maybe they stretch out? I have sized up only to find they are too big after a few hours of wear.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383171 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 18:54:00 +0000 JAileen 2383171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thoughts were the same as Angie’s: maybe they will stretch. &nbsp;If they aren’t uncomfortable, just wear them around the house until you like the look of them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383164 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 18:14:04 +0000 Angie 2383164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These seem a size snug here, <b>Ket</b>. Tighter than tailored, to my eye. Do they perhaps stretch out during the day to your advantage?&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, I am LOVING a wide leg silhouette for you! I see major potential. If these were a size up - they would be an incredibly gorgeous look :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383163 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 18:13:50 +0000 Sal 2383163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried wearing them for half a day to see if they give a bit. Other alternative could be different underwear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383162 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 18:13:46 +0000 Suz 2383162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the wide leg on you a lot but a more fluid fit would be more comfy and you'd enjoy it more. I remember your showing us the J. Crew pants. I think you want these to fit snug but not this snug at the top, and then flare out. My wide legs fit this way. You can see they do have a kind of A-line shape to the legs, as you reported. I think you and I like the same kinds of fits on our pants -- wide A-line, OR a slimmer tapered shape. It took me a while to find wide legs I really liked. When they first started being popular again around 2018/19, they ere a bit too straight and stove-pipey to be ideal for me. I wore them, but without the same comfort that the more recent A-line cut seems to give me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383159 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 17:53:42 +0000 Cookie 2383159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The style looks good for you but they do seem a touch small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383158 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 17:52:23 +0000 Ket 2383158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far between your smart feedback and my own observations, it seems like I really prefer (need??) a more <b>fluid fit</b><i><b></b></i><b></b>.&nbsp;My most favorite pair of pants from J. Crew years ago were a wide leg trouser. (probably bought them sometime in 2007 or 2008??) However, they were snug through the hips then the legs widened from the hips into almost a gentle a-line shape. (Might have just been how they fit me versus actual cut.) And... they had a somewhat fluid feel and look, despite being chinos.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383156 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 17:47:52 +0000 Ket 2383156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, I don't normally like a slouchy fit. However, I do like some fluid flow to my pants, and these don't have it. And I just feel very "Kardashian" and on display in these. :p</p> <p><b>Star</b>, I agree! I was hoping these would be okay as is. But I probably need to consider passing them on or putting them back on hold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383151 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 17:37:47 +0000 Star (Lise) 2383151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a bit too snug for a wider leg jean considering what is trendy now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383146 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 17:04:30 +0000 Lisa 2383146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything wrong with them, they look like a classic jean with a form fitting style and I think this style of jean with the wider leg is fine with your leg line. BUT I prefer my jeans one size larger right now because I want a slouchy fit with scrunch at this point in my style journey.&nbsp;</p> <p>How do you plan to style these? They do not seem to have the flow I've seen with your style with other new additions lately. (Big drapey printed trousers come to mind, while these are much more form fitting). I'd prefer if these were less form fitting.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-too-snug-trouser-jeans#post-2383127 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 16:02:59 +0000 Ket 2383127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I online thrifted these NYDJ recently. They’re an older style and pair though in good shape. I actually sized up despite the NYDJ site saying to size down. Good thing I did. They may have shrunk or just be cut smaller due to being older. (I would guess at least 5+ years older style.) </p> <p>I looked at them and thought: I won’t even be able to button them :O </p> <p>Well… they button to my great shock! However, I feel like they’re almost inappropriately snug.</p> <p>I also don’t know if the straight leg trouser style is my best leg line? </p> <p>The snugness is not a physical comfort thing for me. (They wouldn’t be comfy after a large dinner but that’s not a factor for me in most cases.) All I can see is gobs of panty lines and derrière creases.</p> <p>I’m happy to save them a bit longer but not sure about the style on me either. I got them to try a slightly wider leg without going super wide. </p> <p>What do you all think? Would love your feedback. </p>
