OK I may have gone a bit overboard with the jeans wardrobe refresh. I started out this whole process with only a couple pairs of Levi shaping skinny jeans from Amazon, but then started rebuilding and embracing wider and wider jeans, till I ended up going off the deep end and drinking the barrel jeans kool-aid! I thought it would be fun to do a fit lab, kind of like a taste test but with blue jeans. I'm focusing only on the blue jeans, not all the other colors/patterns.

Hubs is a very traditional dresser, so I get more compliments from him when I wear solids and button down shirts (like he really likes the 19-20 outfit). But those type of conservative "business" clothes don't really feel like me, I love whimsical/playful looks, bright colors and patterns and pattern mixing and matchy matchy. I realized that at least 90% of my dresses are patterns rather than solids.

Recently he asked me why I was starting to wear such baggy pants and was wondering if I was feeling insecure and trying to hide my figure. He even mentioned he read about Billie Eilish wearing super baggy clothes even though she wasn't overweight. He said the baggy pants make me look bigger than I really am and that I should wear more "normal" jeans because they are more flattering to my figure and he likes it when he can see my ass(ets). I said I don't care about conventionally flattering or what other guys think of me and said Billie and I can dress however we want!

He doesn't like the sweatpant jeans either and says they look kind of sloppy. Of these jeans, he only likes the first two pairs, the skinny and bootcut. But skinny is kind of "out", right? And it makes me more self conscious about my waist unless I wear baggy shirts on top. Mind you, he's not saying anything negative about my body and thinks I'm beautiful, so he gets a pass, but he's definitely not used to this whole oversized baggy barrel jeans trend and our fashion tastes kind of don't mesh at all (he thinks he has superior taste, but I think my fashion sense is less boring, LOL!). He definitely likes it better when I dress in conventionally flattering clothes.

So what do you think of the different jean silhouettes on me? I kept the shirt the same and used a fitted shirt and side views so you can see the fit better. This is more of a discussion on what you think of the different styles, not a K/R. Which is your favorite and least favorite of these jeans? I already have/wear all of these jeans, but lately I've been going for comfort. I like the barrel jeans a lot, and am loving the sweatpant jeans the most, especially the track pants because I can match the stripe colors to the rest of my outfit, which tickles my matchy matchy gene. I literally have like 10 pairs of the various Rag and Bone jeans! So I'd have to say the Rag & Bone track pants (all the different colors) are my favorite and the skinny jeans my least favorite right now.

A few other pics showing my four blue denim jackets. They're all different so I need them all, right? LOL. That's not even counting the black one I bought. Plus I don't have a white denim jacket yet. The old Levi cropped blue denim jacket I had before is too small now and tight in the shoulders and I like a longer length now. I tried a La Ligne cropped Val sherpa jacket, but it looked too masculine on me so I returned it. I love the Frame swing coat with the bell sleeves and flared back because it's roomy but more feminine, and the Miramar trucker jacket because it's so soft and matches all my track pants. The two tone Wash lab denim skirt is a fun piece too. I admit the Gap floral jacket and horseshoe jeans combo is ALGO (a lot going on)--I know DH will not be a fan of that outfit. But vive la difference! We still support and complement each other even though we are different in a lot of ways. That's what makes life interesting. Anyone else with partners who are amused at our fashion escapades?
