AG Nikkis... pretty sure it's a "K", but what size?

I'm pretty sure they are a good fit, they sure are comfy! But for this price, they have to be a spectacular fit. Please be honest.

I ordered two sizes, the smaller on the left, the larger on the right. The smaller are almost more comfortable, as I can wear them without a belt and they don't feel like they will fall down. I think I'll need to wear the larger with a belt. But honestly, there's not much difference between the two sizes.

They have a bit of a poofy thing going on at the crotch - is this bad?

I also like the way the wash/distressing has worked out more on the smaller ones, although I suspect after a few trips down laundry lane this won't be an issue. Nor will it likely be an issue when I can't compare.

Thoughts? First of all... K/R. And second, which ones?

I like the first ones just a hir better, but they look really close. I like the option of not having to wear with a belt!

I don't see a poufy thing going on, even looking for it . . .

I'm liking the smaller version, too, surprisingly. Also, I think the smaller version will loosen up a bit anyway.

I see a little crotch pouf but it's only barely noticeable on the larger size and only because you mentioned it.

more validation for the smaller fit!! I find my BF's always loosen up a bit as the day goes on.

Smaller gets my vote.

Diana

I vote smaller too. The legs on mine loosened up slightly over the course of the day but happily the waist did not (happily because mine are juuuuust small enough on the waist to not need a belt).

Keep the smaller ones. They fit great now, but the will loosen up.

Thanks all! Good to know they will loosen up a bit.

Another thing the smaller ones have going for them is that my weight is up a bit right now, and I won't feel bad about keeping these regardless of whether it comes off or not. The larger ones could get a bit big.

I'll be the spanner and go for the larger one. But then again, that's my personal preference -- they both look good on you!

Smaller - they will stretch, though not a lot.

A bit of crotch poof, in my opinion, is the whole point. That's what makes them boyfriend jeans!

And, you totally rock them.

One more comment -- the larger are just fine too, but if you want to go bigger/baggier then make a statement and go even baggier than this. My first pair of BF's (Loft) are quite voluminous, despite the 2p on the label. It's just a different look.

The Nikki's, in my opinion, are meant to be less baggy, more of a slim fit look, like you're wearing a man's pair of skinnies, whereas my Loft BF's are more akin to wearing a pair of man's classic/straight leg jeans. The crotch on those drops even lower... they need a belt or they'd slide right off... the pockets on the rear are bigger and drop lower.... I'm pretty much swimming in them, but somehow it works, especially if I roll them up and expose some ankle!

I'm a super spanner. I would try one size down from the small size.

They look great! I think either size is fine -- so go with the one you like best.

Nice! I like both but since they'll probably stretch a bit I would stick with the smaller ones.

I like the smaller ones, they look great! Sleek but not tight.

I vote the smaller size because you can wear them sans belt. Truly, I can barely see a difference. Looking fab. Glad they worked out. xo

Shiny, I have a pair of Cameron's on thier way at the moment as well... THOSE will be the ones that look baggy! What I want out of these is a slouchy skinny jean. More comfy than my skinnies, ie less leg sucking, yet can also be worn happily with shoes or tucked into boots. So what you said backs up what I was thinking. Tks.

IK, I could probably wear them one size down, but then I think they end up being jeans that sit in my closet. I much prefer a looser fit.

Wow, a whole bunch more responses while a parent came to pick up a kid!

Thanks so much to the rest of you. Angie, I have to admit I'm surprised that you like the smaller ones, you've made a lot of comments about people wearing them smaller than you - I thought for sure you'd be on team big pair or size up even further!

Anyhoo, I think I'm going to really like these, thanks to Angie for recommending them, and to all the others who put up with my sizing questions.

catgirl

Mine have a little of that pouf too - they are rounder rather than flatter (in dimension). I prefer the smaller pair just slightly. Mine stretch out with wear!

Janet

I like the smaller pair, but the difference is subtle. They look great on you! There are days I wish I had mine in a smaller size too. I definitely get the crotch thing happening on mine.

Thanks Una and Janet - good to get more input from those that own these.
