Those ON wide legs are fabulous on you - I like how the waist is fitted but the backseat is deliberately a little slouchy (in a cool rather than oversized way). I need a ~12" rise to effectively cover all the junk in the trunk (& the car bonnet/ hood, lol!), so it's useful to know we have a similar height/ denim fit!

Speaking of which, you mentioned Levi's - their classic 501s never work for me. But I've had surprising luck with the fit of Lee jeans (especially vintage styles), so they may be another denim brand to consider?

I also like the Gap crops on you but agree with the others that the full-length Old Navy's are so much more leg lengthening on you! I wonder whether the horizontal line of your ankle strap sandals has more to do with that than the hemline, though?

Suz these look fab on you. Indigoprint beat me to it re: question about the rises. I love wide leg pants and would be happily throwing all of my money at them but I need a 9.5" rise or lower, which are proving to be scarce still. You rock those high rises!

KMM, I would try them on, anyway. Angie also has a lower rise but she is able to wear this new style. They fit a lot differently from some of the older wide legs.

Zaeobi, for sure, the style of the sandal definitely adds to the shortening effect. It won't necessarily be the shoe I'll wear with these; it's just what I had to hand. I wasn't really trying to style them at all -- just a try on for fit. I think the ON jean would absolutely work on you and the price is reasonable, especially if you get a sale, so it might be worth a try.

I like both of these on you, Suz. The light wash blues are great, especially for summer with the footwear you're showing here. Score!

Do not crop! I adore that long length on you, which I've never seen before. They make you look so elegant and tall -- but the shape and color are also very current. Fabulous!!!!

These look magical on you, Suz--you were made for this style!! They look so chic and the fit is immaculate. I would wager that they will both become workhorses for you, with all kinds of footwear.

@Suz
No worries, I figured - just throwing it out there based on my first impressions

They're great jeans though - & your modelling of the ON ones is tempting me too! But alas, I think I need to sit on my hands for a bit when it comes to blue jeans... I'm glad to see dark washes trending again (I still only see people wearing light & mid washes out here though!), but I think coloured denim works better for me at this leg of my style journey.

Plus I have to remember I'm no longer in a 4 season, 'denim all year' sort of climate

Suz! I ordered the ON jeans in my normal size 14 and I love them. They just cover my belly button (I have a short waist but a normal rise I think) and fit well everywhere. Length is perfect for me to wear with flats like my underused blush Birkenstock Buckleys. And the full length does make them wearable now or at least pretty soon, vs. so many seasons of trying to work with cropped pants. I’m excited! Thanks for posting

Jules, I'm so glad!! We've been lucky with ON jeans in the past year or so. And GAP. For years, they did not work for me -- now, suddenly, better luck. So interesting!

ON for the win, again! The fit is so perfect on you Suz!
