WIW: BF jeans too baggy? - YouLookFab Forum

Two more "to work" outfits. One from last week is missing, because camera just don't cooperate, but someday I'll repeat it again.
#1 #2 #3 - this is clearly YLF influence, the bomber jacket I bought a month ago Still figuring out how to wear it.
Underneath there was a simple white cotton V-neck tee, tucked into skirt. I did not wear the scarf, just noticed that I could also mimic coral and blue Angie ensemble But I feel this color combination is too sweet for me.
The stud earrings are changing color depending on looking angle - purple/clear/green.
#4 #5 If I have no meetings I can go to work in super casual outfits, and it was Friday - a jeans day anyway
#6 #7 are photos of how my BF jeans look from behind. What do you think, are they too slouchy, baggy, frumpy??? Am I seeing things, or they give me saddle bags on my thighs? I can pull them up if I add a belt, but it is less comfortable.

Thank you for looking, comments and criticism are welcome

You look smashing...Re/BF fit...try the belt..No fun if they are not comfortable...What happens when you bend over..with them beltless?...
Great looks...smile..

Love the freshness of the bomber! Wonderful! I like the scarf, too, and applaud you for trying new things, even if you choose not to wear them out!

You have a classic BF fit --- the rear should be like wearing, well, pants borrowed from a man. The drooping looks like fabric, rather than your bum, to my eyes, but everyone has a different comfort level. I just bought a second pair of BFs. My first (and beloved) pair as you're wearing here, but the new ones are relaxed in the rear, but not as large.

If I bend over (beltless) they stay on hips, I mean - there are no offensive views
If I belt them, top of jeans sits just below my natural waist, kind of unflattering and uncomfy. But then the rear view is flattering. You can have only one with this pair, just not both
First 1/2 day after laundry they are just perfect, and then they regain their usual baggy form :/

I think the BF fit looks great. Perhaps it's just a matter of getting used to them. I know it took me a while to realize mine looked intentionally baggy but not sloppy.

LOVE the bomber!

I really like the bomber on you and think the jeans look great. I also really like the color of the scarf. Can you belt the jeans with a looser belt, so it doesn't effect how they hang? That might give you semi-tucking options if you want them.

What rabbit said on all counts!

This is how my white jeans look from behind. I don't love it, but I made peace with it.

I love your BF jeans the way it is. I also like rabbit's idea of wearing a looser belt for semi tucking options.

I am also completely in love with 2. The colors are beautiful together and gorgeous bomber!

What gorgeous color combination in 1/2, I love the proportions and fit. The moccasins look fun with the outfit. The BFs look a bit big from the back to my eye, probably the loose tee's hem is accentuating the effect. Nice RATE look, quite different from 1/2 and perfect for casual Friday.

Thank you ladies! Hearing more oppinions is really helpful, some kind of reality check As several voices say that is a common fit, I declare my peace with it. At least until another pair comes to my closet.
rabbit, I will try other belts. But first need to find them
Bellow there is a picture of my finds, the item is actually the shorts, but I really like the belt. Keeping my eyes open for something of this type, maybe with white metal buckle.

Not too baggy... but for this looser style, I would wear more delicate, possibly heeled footwear.
Other outfits are exquisite.

Yes I noticed that nice heeled pumps can pull out the baggiest of pants. But I wear heels only sometimes on special occasions. For everyday wear I need comfort, and have hard time with patent leather, pointy toes, narrow straps and mostly all delicate looking footwear But I noticed that many women on YLF have fussy feet, and their footwear looks fab, so I need to learn

Agree that the jeans look good! The bomber looks like a great color and shape for you. I like it in both outfits, and am especially a fan of the second, more casual one. Something about the striped shirt and that bag together.

I think the jeans look deliberately baggy, and a belt is a great option. Now let's talk about this bomber for a second, it's a lovely color and I like that quilted look. I've worn my bomber open with a solid column of color, and as you have done here, paired over a knit top. I have also seen outfits with a bomber as the 'cardigan' with a dress, for another idea.

I think the jeans look good on you. No saddle bags anywhere!! That's how they are supposed to look. I agree a looser belt, worn lower on your hips, will look good and may also improve the rear view and make these better when they are stretched out. A number of jeans companies make bf fits that are 100% cotton, they hardly stretch out. True Religion, J Brand and Rag & Bone/Jean all come to mind. If you're worried about price, try eBay. I found new J Brand 100% cotton bf jeans for around $50-50 (bidding in an auction).

Regarding the jacket, I like it on you! It is so pretty and summery. I would keep the outfit very simple with that jacket as the color and quilted pattern make a statement. If you keep the rest of the outfit strictly minimal -- for example, those same bf jeans + white tee or tank + jacket + white or blue sandals (either matching jacket or top), it won't look too sweet.
