Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

Cocolion, did the sit-down and bending test. Comfy. No problem

Laura, I'm soooo enjoying them.

Shevia, keeping the hips uncovered adds just enough structure!

Oooh, La Ped. I'm loving that rosewood column of colour for you

You definitely have the figure to pull that look off.

Great fit and so cheery, indeed! Predict they will be a worty replacement for the once you've had the jodhpur jeans!:-)

Love them, so fun!

The architectural silhouette is perfect for you! They remind me of your beloved jodhpur jeans from long ago in their sculptural integrity. Rock on, fellow 80s lover!

Thanks, everyone!

LOVING the multiple references to my old and notorious jodhpur jeans. My faves of all time

These look super cool on you, Angie. They work nicely for you with that polished look the denim has, too; they look crisp.

I loooove these so much!! They look amazing, Angie, and your new cardigan is gorgeous too!

Love these jeans on you, Angie! They have a great architectural shape. Now I want them too!

Thank you so much

This is so interesting.You look fabulous in this cut.l have tried a pair on as I am really drawn to this type of Jean but although I am probably a size or three bigger than you l looked like a waif and stray in them.l am guessing it probably depends on how much volume there is in the leg and where the max volume is situated on the leg?
Anyway you have obviously found a very flattering pair.For me the hunt continues.

Those are so cute on you!!

I really like the look of these but my sense is that they are going to be more challenging for shorter girls to style. I can see that I would need some height to combat or balance the volume. And I would want to play off the shape of the pants with a short or tucked top to bring the waist in. Despite all that I’m keen to try a pair on x

Love these on you! Such elegant architecture and with your citron jacket, they really knock me over. Appreciate seeing them on; they read extra luxe. Enjoy them.

Thanks for the kind words!

Debbie is petite and rocks her new balloon jeans! Look:

Try a petite size, maybe.

Debs my dear, you are the last person on earth to battle with styling volume

Angie lol I guess that is true. My concern would be the volume around the tummy and thigh area. That is probably my most challenging area and I can look dumpy if I am not careful After commenting I spent about an hour reading about the balloon jeans and also looking at quite a few versions that are available here. The more I looked, the more I liked. I saw quite a few styling options I liked that swayed dressy. I have my eye on the Marks and Spencer ones as they are available in Australia but they don't have them in black The khaki is quite nice tho. I have also decided, after much imaginings, that I could probably work a flat shoe with them after all.

Debs, I guarantee that you will style your balloon jeans beautifully and feel fab in them. Hope you find just the right pair
