Yay = Keep
Nay = Return

I posted about these a couple of times, but now that I've photographed the backside, I'm not sure if I should keep them. I love the color and fit, and they're very comfy. But the back... I don't know. I wear a 16/18, so I know it will never look stellar, but I don't want to look atrocious. Keep or Return?

Let's be honest; a close-up with flash of the tushy ain't gonna flatter anyone!

I think a better photo might help judge; can you take one that is full-length and not back-lit by the window?

They look wide in the leg and saggy in the back, almost like they're too big however this is probably not helped by the fact that they are too long and you're not wearing shoes, so they are draping on the ground. Could you throw on a pair of heels to get the hem off the ground? I think it would be a better judge of fit that way.

I LOVE the color...but for me they are missing something that I can't quite put my finger on. I feel as if they are a return.

Anyone else ?

I agree with Jenava. I'd love to get a better look if you are able to post some new photos.

Agree a better view from the front is needed. The color is good. Do they have any stretch? Back view is not atrocious and I like the idea with jacket and top in 1-2.

Agree that taking a close up of one's back view is not going to please anyone! I think overall they look a bit big actually. The color is great.

I don't like the fit on you - they look too big from the front & they have folds around the thighs at the back. I love the colour though.

I don't know if this was in your previous post but I wanted to ask what kind of fit do you want the jeans to have? Do you want them to be kind of straight leg or do you want more of the skinny jean?
Because I like the fit of the pants(guess I am the only one) but they don't have the fit of a skinny jean.

I think it is too hard to tell from your pics - as others have already mentioned! Can you get a pic without the backlight and with some shoes on? If I were to go by the pics that you've posted, including the back view, which is the one pic that I can really clearly see, I'd say they are too big for you. Did you try the size down? Or, maybe you just need a different style? The color is great - but I've seen many wardrobe items this fall in that color, so if you pass on these, I'm sure you can find some other item in this color!

Hmmm, if I had to vote based on pic 4, I'd probably vote return because there the pants are too roomy and the sweater is oversized.

Pic 5 has a more fitted shirt and they're looking better there. Same for pics 1-2 where you have the more fitted jacket on top.

Overall, they're pretty roomy looking and that's okay if that's what you want and if you want to pair with fitted tops. You might want to try down a size?

I really like the color - dark, pretty neutral, but a little unexpected.

I will commiserate with you on any rear photos -- I am always unhappily surprised by my own rearviews!!

Love the color and like how you styled them - I think they are too big in the thighs and once you wear, will stretch even more. Try a size down or keep on the hunt for same color in different brand?

I did take more photos, but they look just as bad.

They are a slim straight leg, not skinnies. But all of the feedback made me realize that these are going to be fussy pants! They are the smallest size I can go before I'd be unable to zip them. If they still look baggy and bunchy, then they're just not right for me. I love the color and will try to find it in a different pant.

Back they go!
