AND..Yess!! I see the same gorgeous pants& the same great fit-just styled differently. Of course, you have to like them...

I also think they look good on you but you have to love them. I am also a late adopter and it takes me a while to adjust to a new silhouette or look. I have bought items that I never wore the first year only to dig it out later and love it.

So interesting how not just our individuals shapes & sizes but also our individual ideals of how our bodies should look come into play in determining what “fits”. You have mentioned wanting to deemphacize your caboose. I’m going to guess that’s what bothered you about these. In any event, life is too short to wear pants you don’t like.
