Button fly jeans - YouLookFab Forum

I don’t know,l don’t post for months then you can’t keep me off the forum!
Just a quickie today .l wasn’t planning to post but l got excited that l actually had a photo of myself in the style of garment that Angie is discussing in the Blog today I.e. button fly trousers.(The photo was taken last summer.)

l totally get why some people feel self conscious about their stomach in this style but as with all clothing l think fit is the key.

Heres how l wear mine .The blazer hides my stomachs side profile (!)and these jeans from gap are very comfortable,not too tight around the stomach but stiff enough not to outline that area and give comforting support to the middle aged tum!

Thank you for looking and for any comments that you would like to make.

Cardiff girl, your jeans fit you so well. The button fly adds interest and texture to the outfit.

Excellent fit, great jeans, you really look amazing. Maybe you could change my mind about the button fly.

Cardiff girl

Thank youStyle fan.l think because l don’t wear a lot of jewellery added touches on garments like this really appeal to me.
suz,thank you fellow gardener!I can’t wait to get back out in the garden,it’s abit cold and wet at the moment here but l guess it is with you too
Mirjana,thank you.l think having seen how expert you are at styling outfits that you could easily make button flys work for you if you wanted.

YOU LOOK FAB! Stinking cute look on you! Sooo nice to see you post.

On trend, and flattering

Bijou

I love this look and it is such a treat to have you posting again! Those are exactly the button fly jeans that I wish I had (well if they fit me the way yours fit you).

Jaime

These are fantastic on you! I agree completely that it all comes down to the exact jeans/person combination. (Also totally relate to the side view concerns.)

Zaeobi

Haha I can completely relate to the issue of sporadic posting/ lurking habits.

The fit of both your jeans & topper are lovely - wish I could pull off casual denim blue as well as you!

Your greenhouse is lovely too - having a garden is one thing I miss about the UK!

Jenni NZ

These look amazing on you - and you look amazing! It makes me realise we haven’t seen nearly enough pics of you lately!

Sisi

Those jeans fit you like a glove and you look fantastic in this outfit. This is the type of look that I like so much (I would define it "relaxed elegance"). Now I want a pair of button-fly jeans.

Joy

You are rocking those button-fly jeans and look fabulous.

RobinF

Perfect example of how to wear button flies! Love it.

Zaeobi,thank you.l do love my garden and greenhouse,they have been a real solace in these troubled times.
