They remind me a bit of your old jodhpur jeans...not quite as edgy, but a similar structural vibe.

Tanya, thank you, and good that you hung onto that short cardigan. Great for skirts too

Jenn, good memory! Those were notorious jeans, and my absolute faves. They are threadbare, but I cannot part with them......too many incredible memories.

I bought these in the fall. I have a completely different body type but I really like how they fit me as well. I haven’t worn them much because I wear scrubs at work, joggers at home, and don’t go anywhere else. I am hoping this style lasts for a while so I can get more wear out of them once things start to open up.

You look fab! The stiffness and sheen really heightens the effect of the shape--they will turn heads when you wear them, I'm guessing!

Yes, Japanese vibes!

Those pants were made with you in mind. Now you need to wear the outfit with the citron jacket to NY Fashion Week.

Incredible! Your balloon jeans are a piece of artwork! The cardigan is definitely a dream cloud! I am smiling from ear to ear

Oh my goodness! So stinkin’ cute! I loooove these on you! I wonder if they would camouflage my thighs or just emphasize them. I may have to give them a try!

Super cute ‘80s fabulousness!

I'm surprising myself by really loving these! The slight sheen on the fabric and the shape is very unusual and flattering at the same time. I wasn't aware of shapes like this!

These look great on you!

They look great on you. Such a fun look! Love the cardigan too.
I can’t imagine them on me yet, it will probably take me sometime to adjust to the look on myself, I am not early adopter.

They look great on you Angie. I might have had some similar shaped pants in the mid 80s but I weighed about 18 kg less than I do now. I will have to check old photos. Don’t think I will be joining in! Fun to see them styled.

They are super cute. I still have my balloon jeans from last year (washed black but I wish they were true black). I do think they look better in person than they photograph. And they are super comfy of course. But yours look great even in photographs!

I love these on you, such a beautiful fit. They do have a Japanese look to them, especially in that uniform indigo colour.

Oh, I’m having an 80s The Gap flash back...gosh these are great. I love them...wondering as the weather heats up and boots are too much, what footwear would you wear aside from the high tops?

These look beautiful and I bet they feel great, too. I love stiff pants! It's a reminder that you're wearing high-quality fabric.

Posted a thread of pants from my cellar that I was thinking might scratch this “relaxed legs” itch. But looking at the pix I see that they don’t have that taper these do in pic 2. Not sure about them...

Your legs look miles long! I thought of the jodhpur jeans too!

Wow wow wow! You look amazing in these! And, you've got the proportion-perfection thing DOWN!

I love them on you. The first thing that come to my mind was they make you look taller. Always a good thing in my book. I am going to try a pair.

Thanks for the positive reactions, everyone!

Molly Mac and Greyscale, great that these worked for you too. I hope you model them for us!

Nikki, that's so nice

Bijou, YES. The dark raw blue makes them even more Japanese-looking.

Karie, go Team '80s! You get it.

Brooklyn, LOVE your balloon jeans.

Jonesy, what a wonderful surprise. Miss you around here!

kkards, I will wear them with low top sneakers, ballet flats, and loafers when it warms up. That's all I wear on my feet, so it's easy!

Lynette and Debbie, YAY! Try them too.

LOVE! The silhouette and raw denim are just fab. So glad you found them for yourself.

#9 please!

I'm fondly remembering some Fiorucci cords from back in the day.

Add me to the fan list! I would have thought they needed the waist exposed to tame the volume but you have proven me wrong. They are perfect every which way!

I like the way you blended the avant grade vibe of these architectural pants, with your modern classic style. The way you can pull off the latest trends without looking like they're wearing you, shows your expertise and talent!

I might of missed this elsewhere, but how are they when seated or bending?

You can wear these styles so well! I'd look comical in them but they sure do suit you beautifully. Well done!

Yikes. Enjoy them, Angie. It’s going to take me a while to adjust my eye. I remember how darn uncomfortable some 100% cotton, heavyweight denim was - stiff and unbending.

Angie, the toffee felt a little too bright for me, but I have the Utility version in "rosewood" in my cart! Potentially a matching set with last year's cardigan...
