K/R - 'skinny jeans' - YouLookFab Forum

These are actually a similar style to my BFs sized down. I'm feeling the desperate need for a new pair of jeans that really fits, so when I saw these on sale, I ordered a pair. They are not the exact same model as my BFs though, or I would have been beyond happy with them. These here have the rear pockets placed wider apart which is a problem I have with a lot of jeans. But they fit great and I love the front view, so I'm wondering whether the back view is good enough to keep them. I'm self-conscious about my bum, so I know I might see problems where none exist.

So, what do you think?

This is mostly a question for the team riveting rearsiders...

(Please ignore the bad hair and messy looks.)

Beth Ann reminded me that you can't see the length of these tucked into the boots. They're long enough that I had to cuff them before I tucked them into the boots. You can do a roll without them looking cropped.

I think they look really nice. If you've got the booty, I say shake it!

(in other words, they don't do bad things for your bum, imho)

Ooh, Astrid, I think they look great on you! To my eye, I think many of us would like to have a rear view that is so flattering. I hope you keep them.

Neel

I love them!!! With the riveting rear side and all! Very nice wash and nope it doesn't do weird stuff to your bum! Please keep!

Beth Ann

Your booty is fab! Truthfully, sometimes we need to remind ourselves that bodies are in 3-D and aren't clotheshangers. I do understand, however, that you don't necessary want to highlight it as you walk down the street -- and these jeans are quite tasteful but flattering in their fit. Can't see the length, though! You know Angie will be looking!

Diana

I love them on you, they remind me a lot of the AG Nikki jeans! Looking at this on phone so pics are small but the rear view looks great from what I can see.

Astrid

Haha, thanks LL!

Thanks Beth!

Thanks Neel! I love the wash too.

Thanks Beth Ann! Good to think of the length, I added some info above.

Thanks Diana! I've got the AG Nikki comparison on the other pair too, they really seem to be similar.

Astrid if I had seen thid in Berlin. I eould grab them with both hands. They are awesome.

Thanks, Ramya!

Joyce B

They look great on you. Keep them, they are very flattering!

Susie

Wait, Would Ramya be grabbing the jeans or the bum?!

They look great on you, Astrid. Very nice fit.

Lol Susie. I was talking about the jeans.

missvee

Ok, now that we've clarified Ramya's intentions I agree with the others - keep - they look great on you. Love the tee shirt too.

Lol on Ramya's comment

Big thumbs up on the jeans from me!!! They look great! Pocket placement isn't an issue b/c there is no contrasting stitching to highlight them. These are a nice dark denim - keep!

Thanks Joyce!

Thanks Susie! I didn't realise you could read it that way, but now that you said it.

Ha Ramya, I never thought differently.

Thanks Missvee! My mum bought the tee for me when we were in London, it's a boy's size actually. But they were just so much nicer than the girlie shirts. My sister has gotten the same, I should get her to do a twin outfit picture.

Thanks Jackie! Yes, you're right about the contrast stitching - it would be more of an issue then. I think I'm going to keep them.

Suz

Great jeans, Astrid, and you look fab!

Golden

The jeans fit looks great, and you look great in them. You should keep

Thanks Suz and Golden! I've decided to keep them. I'm going to cut the tags now, there going to go into the washing mashine right now so that I can wear them next weekend when I go home.

donnat

Those jeans look awsome on you.

Eliza

Great decision. I like the fit and the wash. Very flattering.

Marmee

Great jeans and fit. Good decision to keep. Could you wear them to the reunion, or would that be too casual?

Thanks Donnat and Eliza!

Thanks Marmee. I think I'm going to take them in any case, for wear on the other days. It might be a good idea to add a button down that I can wear with the jeans in case it gets really cold. That would be a lot more casual than the skirt outfits, but better warm than freezing.
