I like the simple knits with your jeans too, you really suit this classic look which shows off your tiny waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2219190 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 05:50:25 +0000 CocoLion 2219190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in high rise jeans.&nbsp; Like a model.&nbsp; All jeans look excellent on you.&nbsp; I wish I had a longer torso, it makes you look tall.&nbsp; So do not think for one second that your torso looks too long in those jeans.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218719 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 14:39:12 +0000 anne 2218719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Synne</b> - you asked how I know I have a long torso? The answer is that I have a long waist - I know this&nbsp; both experientially because waistbands often hit at my ribcage, and also because I can fit about 2.5 hand widths between the bottom of my bust and my waist AND I have a long rise (the ribcage jeans are about 12 inches).</div><div>While I agree that a tonal look may work better, and I'll give it a go (I certainly feel better in dresses which are more consistant over the body) vertical lines are "supposed" to be flattering on long torsos because it breaks up the expanse.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Rachy, Irina, Phoebe, Suz, Jonesy and Shevia.</div><div><br /></div><div>Janet - I felt rather indulgent buying two pairs of jeans this year and I hope for my sake the high rises will stay in fashion long enough for me to get wear out of them. Hope you can find some moderate rise for yourself though<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218713 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 14:11:39 +0000 Janet 2218713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High waists are perfect on you! Milk the trend now before lower rises come back in style! Meanwhile, I can barely find any pants to work on me because the rises are so high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218641 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 01:50:40 +0000 Jaime 2218641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great on you, lengthwise and otherwise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218621 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 23:28:17 +0000 Anonymous 2218621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great, agreeing with Synne about trying a more tonal look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218615 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 22:27:26 +0000 Irina 2218615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pairs on you.

(Who told you that you have such a long torso?). One thing I have to say is that when you dress in two contrasting colours (white top, dark jeans), you draw extra attention to the proportions of your vertical line (torso and legs). You underline where your torso ends, so to speak. How about wearing a more tonal look?<br /> The jeans looks great! (And I think I might have a long torso too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218539 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:11:18 +0000 Anonymous 2218539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep- the length looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218536 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:08:15 +0000 Suz 2218536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Jonesy</b> said!

I love both pairs of jeans too! Your torso looks wonderful, and the lengths of both pairs of jeans work well. Nice cuffing :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218508 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 16:51:12 +0000 CarolS 2218508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. The jeans in #3 are super flattering. An ultra high rise on me veers into bustier territory, but there you are looking perfectly proportioned with actual torso above the waist. YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218506 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 16:46:04 +0000 Jonesy 2218506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pairs of jeans! The fit looks great and I think the length on the first pair works well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218479 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 14:41:03 +0000 anne 2218479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Helena, I was feeling uncertain, so your affirmation is great to hear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218448 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 12:54:31 +0000 Helena 2218448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am hopeless with lengths so I'll leave that to others, but just chiming in to admire your ability to wear an ultra high rise ...

The length of the wide legs looks good to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218418 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:19:21 +0000 April 2218418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have anything smart to say re. fit or length, just waving hello and high fiving as a fellow "ultra high rise" long-torso-ed person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jeans-on-my-long-torso#post-2218417 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:13:58 +0000 anne 2218417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Hi guys,</div><div><br /></div><div>Haven't been posting much (still can't upload photos from phone) but wanted to show some recent pictures of my 2021 jeans</div><div><br /></div><div>Pics 1 and 2 are my wide legs ones. I bought them a couple of months ago but only just hemmed them. DD, who took the photo, says I look much better in real life so try to imagine that! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Did I get the length right for the new "shorter length" ? I can easily unpick and re-hem</div><div><br /></div><div>Pic 3 are my ribcage jeans. I haven't hemmed these, just experimented with folding so any comments welcome.</div><div><br /></div><div>And the long torso thing. I wanted to get ULTRA high rise because they are supposed to be good on long torsos. I still feel like the upper part of my body looks too long. I suppose a lower neck would help (But I love turtlenecks in the&nbsp; Australian winter) Outfit 1-2 actually had a scarf with it but it didn't make the photos.</div><div><br /></div><div>Comments and criticism welcome.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p>
