Hello everyone,

I am trying to update my jeans to keep my wardrobe current, and I'd like to get some feedback on a few options I have ordered.

I am including photos of the Frame Slim Palazzo in size 31 (Drizzle Wash), the Gap High Stride Wide-Leg Jeans in size 31 Long (Medium Wash), and the Gap High Rise '70s Flare in size 30 Long (Basic Black). I ordered the Gap flares in size 30 because the reviews originally indicated they ran a little big. I have also ordered the AG Saige High Waist Straight Leg Jeans in size 31 (09 Years Dissipate Wash), but I haven't received them yet.

I am 5' 10" tall, with a relatively short waist and a longish rise, and a bit of a sway back so there is usually a gap at the back of the waist. My waist measures about 31" and my hips measure about 40.5" - 41". According to most size charts, I should be a 31 in jeans. For a full length jean, I usually need a 34.5" inseam to wear with flats, sneakers and low heels.

I think the flares are the most flattering of the three styles. They are a bit snug but not uncomfortably so. I am a little worried that a size 31 would stretch out too much. The size 31 in both the Frame and Gap wide leg styles are comfortable and maybe a bit big in the waist. I am a little worried that they will stretch out with wear and sag in the rear. I am particularly concerned with the Frame jeans since they are quite pricey. I have not worn Frame jeans before, and the rear view is probably the least flattering. They are also a bit trendy, and I would probably be more comfortable putting my budget toward a more classic style. The Gap wide leg jeans are cute, but they are a heavier denim and a really wide leg.

Thank you in advance for any feedback, advice, suggestions, etc.
