Paperbag jeans - yay or nay?

[Rosti1981]

And if yay, what works best with them?

they don't suit me at all & think they suit very few people. I think they look best with something tighter fitted on top that's either waist length or shorter

The flatter some, but look awful on others.

I have a pair from Zara.. they aren’t the most flattering as they do give the illusion very wide hips, but honestly they are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned!!

I’ve got Zara ones too and they’re nice and comfy but not overly flattering.

I just wear a plain top with them tucked in.

Oh I like them, if they suit. I'd wear a boxer vest tucked in, or a plain long sleeved t-shirt. They don't want anything fussy as they are fussy enough themselves.

This is helpful. I had considered some on vinted but they aren't cheap and so I think it's too much of a risk given I wouldn't then be able to return them.

I bought some online the other day and returned them as soon as they arrived. They looked like I was wearing my dad's jeans from 30 years ago. I'm petite, bought the smallest size they had. Do not recommend.

I'm petite and have tried this style in trousers, shorts not jeans, but it just doesn't suit me all, too much bulk around the middle, love the look on others.
