if you thought trouser jeans wear a good way to avoid skinny...

Kitty · Hermes

Hmm..they don't look skinny in that pic.

I was actually thinking of just getting the Express editor jean for fall..but when I went in they've changed it!! I them last year in black and loved them..but they changed the cut/fabric/or something. Not the same.

sorrow.

Well, for one thing the stitching is like a marigold color now. I dont think the ones from last year had any visible stitching. Also, the fabric just felt different and the cut did too...

Eww why do they have to wreck a good thing?

BTW Lilykind, very sorry to hear about your dressing room mishap - I'm sure you'll find jeans that fit you beautifully

Ha! Love it! I always know a deceiving skinny jean when I have a hard time in the calf area. Seriously, I should never have to start tugging on jeans before they hit the knee. It's just a personal rule.

Although the skinny jean is really in style and will stay that way for awhile, I DONT like the trend. I think it is extremly unflattering on most shapes.

I would have thrown those jeans on the floor in horror as well!

Have you ever tried Paige Premium Jeans? They make a great trouser - mullhound trouser. I love the fit !

I have...Paiges fit nicely through the butt and thighs, but don't have enough leg room in the knees and calf (I've got volleyball/fencing/dancing/hill climbing ones). I remember trying that trouser on last year and liking it, though I will never spend more than $150 for jeans EVER.

I'm kinda stuck on Meli-Melo for trousers but my job is far too casual for me to get them. I'm at work wearing a pink t-shirt, baggy cargo pants and havaianans with a heart print right now.
