Jeans fit: or the tiger, tiger remix

Kiwichik

So yesterday I wore a pair of boot cut jeans that I shouldn't have (let's ignore whether I should have worn them with my new bomber jacket).

1-4Here I am wearing yesterday's jeans
5-8 here I am wearing a pair of men's
Levi 552 flares
I think the 2nd pair work - they are longer in the leg and easier in the thigh and the crutch to waist measurement is longer plus they don't crutch bag when I wear a belt.
What do you think?

I hate buying jeans as I always have trouble getting it right.

I actually don't mind the fit of yesterday's jeans at all. I think they do accentuate your shape a bit more but it's a great shape! That's mot the deal breaker for me but I do see what you mean about the bulge when you belt them and that annoys me also. The second pair fit really smoothly with the belt so that's why they are my preference.

Wow, they both look fine but I prefer the second pair...and I didn't expect that!

They both look great to me! But I understand what you are saying about the first pair. There is something happening with the rise there perhaps. And also, they look a touch short, which is not related but does affect the overall impression. I am amazed at how well the men's ones seem to work considering that you have a woman's curves!

Wow a surprise to me, but I see exactly what you mean about the better fit when belted! Go figure!

Ah the belt is what did it yesterday! I quite like the second pair, though they have an even more casual feel because they're baggier. And the length is better

Interesting. I prefer the second pair, especially the V seaming on the back.

Aida - you were right about the belt - how do you do that?

Well ladies pair number one are back in the dispose of pile - too short, maximize, the saddlebags and I can't wear my favorite jeans belt with them.

Pair 2 are in for all the reasons listed above and they are perfect to wear to number 1 son and baby boy's soccer games and grandsons rugby league. Could wear them to watch darling girl play softball but the season's over. I like the casualness of them too.

I see what you mean about #1, but I still prefer them. They hug your curves. Perhaps they are more 'traditionally' flattering.
If you are happier in #2 then definitely go with your heart. Life is too short to wear clothes that don't make you happy! Yep, and I'll say it again so be warned! Tehehehe!

To my eye the men's fit better 5-8 maybe taken in at the waist to show your beautiful curves.
