K/R: My three boyfriends and husband ;)

Even I'm jumping on the boyfriend wagon! Up for consideration is the Kut from the Kloth Catherine jeans from Nordstrom (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ku.....tback=1882) Unfortunately this darker wash is not on sale, but I preferred it to the lighter one on sale at NAS (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ku.....ltback=407).

I have it here in my usual size 6 and two sizes up, 8 and 10. I am very unsure as to how these are supposed to look and fit so would appreciate your guidance on which size to pick. The 6 is the most fitted but it's stretchy enough that I can still slide it off unbuttoned. So I think it's possible that they may get a little baggier with wear. Also, just for comparison, I tried on my husband's Levi 501 jeans (he just bought a new pair since he lost some weight, but they're still way baggy on me). Help me pick between my three boyfriends and my husband! LOL! Also I'm not sure how far up to roll them.

1-3. Boyfriend size 6
4-6. Boyfriend size 8
7-9. Boyfriend size 10
10. Original length (they come cuffed like that)
11. Rolled once
12. Rolled twice (it starts getting tight at the knee so it bunches a little)
13-15. Husband

Running out the door here, but I vote for 4-6!

I love 7-9 and 11!

P.S. Love the title

I like 7-9 (but hope they wouldn't stretch out even more).

You have slender legs and can easily wear the extra bagginess. If it's too much for your liking, you'd still look great in the size 8!

HJ (husband jeans) are too big

I like the size 10s, but it really depends on how you feel in them, i.e., what your "slouchy spot" is--do you like them baggier or a bit more form fitting? It might also be easier to judge, I think, if you styled them with the footwear you plan to wear with them.

Oh I just realized #7 is a different size from #4! They both look great to me - how do they feel on?

I like 7-9, but you may want to wear them around and see how much they stretch. I tried these on at NAS and the SA warned me that they stretch out a lot, at least one size if not more. They were really big on me to start with, so she flat out told me not to buy them.

If this is true, the 4-6 may be best.

I'd go with 4-6 but I don't really like the truly "baggy" look of some bf's.

I like the size 8 and the size 10, it just depends on what your baggy sweet spot is. I agree that you should wear them around for a little while just to see whether they stretch/relax. My gap ones relaxed a lot! I like the length in 11.

PS - Can we see where they are sitting on your waist? Even if you are never going to wear them with the waist showing, my personal feeling is that BF jeans should *require* a belt, i.e. they need to be too big even around the low slung waist. No muffin top allowed!

I like the size 8 on you (pics 4-6).

pastrygirl

I really like the size 8 on you!

Jem

I like 7 the best, but 4 looks good, too.

Isis

Another vote for 7-9 and the 11 length!

CocoLion

Both the Kuts in size 10 and the husband jeans look great on you! I prefer the Kuts size 10 in the original roll.

In all honesty, I'm not thrilled with any of these, Natalie. I think it's the design on the pockets. To my eye, it makes it seems like you're wearing regular girl jeans in the wrong size. As far as fit, I like the third pair the best, but I know that with your determination and persistence, you will find something perfect!

Personally I prefer the size 10s, Natalie. I have a high baggy sweet spot!

But I think YOU might prefer the size 8. So I'm vouching for those because my gut says that they will make you feel most happy when you wear and style them. I like them too.

You win best forum thread title of the month

I like the 10's but I'm with Una on the pocket design.

HelenInCanada

My short answer: 4-6 (size 8) look the best IMHO, but 7-9 work too!

Jjsloane

It depends on your comfort with the bagginess, but I like the 8s or 10s. BF jeans are not a lot about the rear view, but I did not get these particular jeans based on the overbusy back pocket stitching (which no man I know would wear so really not BF) I like the length of 11 but you need a few more smaller rolls.

Suz

I'm in favour of the 10s, or even the husband jeans, although those I think could be more tapered at the bottoms. And I LOVE your thread title, you minx, you!!
