Boot cut, or straight leg?

Winnie

Hello,

I've never really given much thought into jeans, but through the blog and the discussions in the forums this wardrobe staple is quite a science...

I picked up two pairs of jeans through GAP's $20 (very sweet!) sale last week --

Lighter wash, boot cut: http://whatsinseason.wordpress.....otcut1.jpg

Dark wash, straight leg:

Here are the questions:

1. Should I keep either of them, and why/why not?
2. While we're here... what is my body type? :o)

Thank you so much!

Hi Winnie- you scored a sweet deal on jeans! They both look nice on you, but the straight leg in my favorite. I think you're probably an hourglass with rectangle tendencies like Angie.

Khris, is right! We have very similar body types. Slap bang in the middle of an hourglass and a rectangle. Not very curvy, but not curveless either.

Thanks for the pics, Winnie. The straight legged jeans are KILLER. And for that reason, you should get them :0)

Hi Winnie!

1. Straight-leg for sure. The wash in the first one is cute, but the cut is not as flattering. It bags too much at the knees. If you could find a bootcut that was tighter are your knees it would be fabulous, but I think those ones hide your nice legs too much.

2. Angie is the authority on this, and I agree with both her and CHewyspaghetti. You seem hourglassy leaning towards rectangle. Nice!

thank you for the comments! I think I will return the bootcut and feel like I've now learned a bit about jean fitting, hehe.

Dark wash, straight.

You have the figure for them,
and the wash is more fashion-forward.
