I’ve been wearing my jeans rolled once, &nbsp;but with a wide cuff. &nbsp;I can’t tell if your jeans are stiff enough to hold the cuff, or if there is much of a contrast on the reverse (though it’s not necessary.). Something to try…:-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289408 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 15:13:23 +0000 JP 2289408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style does not suit my body type, but I like how you styled it. I also love what Suz suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289400 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 13:53:11 +0000 Lesley 2289400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these looks! You did it! If you're asking how I would take this look and make it mine, I'm with Helena, I'd go with some hip sneakers.</p> <p>I have a personal rule that the baggier the pants, the less athletic the sneakers need to be. So like, I only wear my "Dad sneakers" (that look like colorful 80s hiking/running shoes) with a slimmer pant, because they kind of dowd up my barrel-leg and wide-leg jeans. I am usually either in high tops or Adidas superstars for my wider legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289344 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 22:14:17 +0000 Dee 2289344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sloper,Eliza, LaPed, SF,&nbsp;</b>Thanks for the boost.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289338 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 21:23:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2289338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great on you!

You wear this style really well.

Any outfit looks chic with dad jeans.

Will be watching the thread with interest for ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289185 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 01:53:17 +0000 judy 2289185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love baggy jeans!&nbsp; They look great on you.&nbsp; Yes, maybe with chunkier footwear.&nbsp; I'd also try a thin v neck cardigan worn as a shirt, like in this link&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://bananarepublicfactory.gapfactory.com/browse/product.do?pid=405135071&amp;vid=1&amp;tid=bfpl000029&amp;kwid=1&amp;ap=7&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw5P2aBhAlEiwAAdY7dInhYCJR5zreKj24YUQ3GAzD_sK2YsN3qdjJ8QCWrsVkXvsjpXK35BoCI1YQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds#pdp-page-content">https://bananarepublicfactory......;tid=bfpl0</a>&nbsp; tucked in at the front.&nbsp; I love that look lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289183 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 01:35:48 +0000 Jaime 2289183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans and looks! I would probably start with trying bulky shoes and a floral top . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289168 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 23:47:01 +0000 cjh 2289168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are really great as is. I’d just go for sneakers instead of loafers, and perhaps a graphic tee instead of the stripes, layering all three tops: tee, button shirt and sweater, and rolling up the sweater sleeves.</p> <p>Another layering idea is to wear the striped top over the button shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289161 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 23:21:17 +0000 CarolS 2289161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tres chic!

You're ready to live in the French countryside ....I've lived in France and agree with you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Back later to answer your question...</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289115 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 19:04:53 +0000 Janet 2289115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear them well! They do not suit my body or my style so I leave them to others! I can’t wait for rises in jeans to lower back to a moderate/mid rise. As someone with a very short rise, most rises over 10” look all kinds of awkward on me. However I do like boyfriend cut jeans, and like wearing them with structured jackets in a variety of lengths, to offset the loose and casual vibe of the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289103 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:41:22 +0000 Suz 2289103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans! And like the outfit. I'd wear something similar (striped top and all) but probably pair with my plaid combat boots or chelsea boots outdoors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289100 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:32:54 +0000 LJP 2289100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very well done ! I don’t have any dad jeans - that I know of , lol- so no ideas from me . A boot would be great here too - a sleek Chelsea ( continuing on the French vibe ) or a combat / moto style . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--90s-dad-jeans-with-a-french-twist#post-2289097 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:19:41 +0000 Dee 2289097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After I bought these Levis red tag dad jeans in charcoal demin, I wondered about the best way for me to wear this new looser denim silhouette in order to suit my personal style and voila, this is what I came up with.</p> <p>To me, these two looks have a bit a french vibe to them.</p> <p>I cuffed the jeans to feature the patterned socks, threw on loafers, the tops were tucked and a belt added to cinch the waist a bit and refine the look.<br /> I added a boxy, collared cardigan with the striped top for additional texture and pattern mixing.</p> <p>Since I'm into casual, modern classics, this was my way of wearing them, but I'd like to know how you might style these dad jeans to suit your personal style ? </p>
