I think it depends on your body. They would look awful on me because of the high waist.

P0mbears · 17/04/2024 14:17

They look nice styled like this (in the mid blue colour)

I think they look nice in the irl pic from
Insta, better than on the pic of the model wearing them. I like the outfit she's wearing them with, I say if you like them go for it op

The colour is a standard pale blue
The waist is high waist (normal waist )
The length is ankle grazer
I don't think you can really tell the fabric from a picture
All of the threads on here
Skinny jeans -nope can't wear
Wide -nope look awful
Slim jeans -no awful
So which jean is left ?

Which jeans are left?

The ones you want to wear.

If you love Skinny.. wear Skinny..
If you love Wide Leg Cargo Jeans that are so long they soak up puddles as you walk.. wear them.

Don't let ANYONE tell you what to wear.

I wouldn't wear cropped jeans with a waist that comes up to my nipples, because I dont like them.. I feel that I would look silly in them. But I am not YOU.

If you ask any questions on MN you'll get answers from every spectrum.

Consider Cricket..
If you stand in a town square and ask every passer by if they enjoy cricket. Some will, some won't.
It doesn't mean YOU can't watch Cricket...

Cricket is shit BTW..

If you like them obviously crack on and buy them but:

There is no such thing as a standard pale blue - all jeans are slightly different in colour, some colours are nicer than others.

Each high waist is different.

Some fabrics are visibly thicker, less stretchy and more solid. Others are visibly softer, thinner and probably less expensive.

Ankle grazer is just a name. A few centimetres on the length makes a big difference, especially if the end is not fitted.

And you did ask, which is why people are commenting.

@P0mbears I think I like that colour better too

I like them a lot more in the other photos posted! I think they look great on the 2nd one in particular- go try them on and see. I find high waists so uncomfortable and make me look fatter than I am 🤷‍♀️ but I know loads of people swear by them.

Josette77 · 17/04/2024 15:35

I love them. The waist is too high for me but other than that they're great.

I have similar and one of my favourite outfits is a T-shirt, trainers or converse, and a blazer.

Or strappy heels, cute blouse or tank, and a blazer or leather jacket.

They also work great with ballet flats!

justjudy · 17/04/2024 15:55

I like them. I like ankle grazers and the straight leg is flattering on most.

Josette77 · 17/04/2024 16:03

Here's some similar and styled well. Princess Kate thrown in for good measure. 😉

Also for those who like or even dislike wide legged. I love this look. Cropped and flared can be super cute for spring.

PriscillaPresssley · 17/04/2024 16:09

I love them! And I like New Look jeans in general, I find most of the denim really soft. I've got their bootcut version in mid blue.

I do like skinny jeans but as I'm slim on the bottom with big boobs and shoulders they make me look like Max Wall so the wider versions suit better.

Get them!

CointreauVersial · 17/04/2024 16:15

I like them! With straight jeans I think an ankle-grazer length looks so much better than full length. Like the high waist too.

High waist is not normal waist. Regular rise is usually about 9.5 inches. These look much higher.

I like the colour and love the leg but unless you’re going to wear a longer top, the high rise looks awful across the stomach.

HesterPrincess · 17/04/2024 16:26

I bought a really nice soft pair like this from Phase Eight but I struggle to style them to be honest as they're a really difficult length - not cropped but not full length. DH asked if I'd washed them too hot as they didn't meet my ankles Hmm

Jumbojem · 17/04/2024 16:28

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5042601-relaxed-ankle-grazing-jeans OP there was a thread on ankle grazer jeans the other day and some on there mentioned the New Look Hannah, but there may be some others you want to look at on the thread.
Personally, the pair in your OP are too pale for my liking. The instagram pic and later web pic both show a darker denim which looks nicer.
I love an ankle grazer for the summer so I'd ignore the comments about looking like you've had a growth spurt. Although I do prefer either a raw edge or rolled hems on my ankle skimmers, a straight seamed edge looks too smart for the look I'm going for when I wear cropped jeans (it's not of a casual look for me).

Yes, I like them.

I can't wear skinny jeans because I wear stoma bag. I wear mom jeans and straight leg.

KeinLiebeslied54321 · 17/04/2024 18:29

I don't really like then @bridgeobertroubledwater but I have definitely seen peoole wear that sort of cropped jean.
I cannot stand skinny jeans these days either, give me either a nice semi fitted bootcut or even a wide leg.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 17/04/2024 13:45

Put some jam on your ankles and invite your trousers down to tea springs to mind. Sorry.

If you like them, wear them. Doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I don’t like skinny jeans or jeggings either!

😂😂

savvy7 · 17/04/2024 18:32

I like them too.

LoobyDop · 17/04/2024 20:09

I like them. Agree with a PP that straight jeans look better cropped, I haven’t got my head around the full length version yet.

tastydiner · 18/04/2024 06:40

I like them OP. The second insta pic you linked shows them better. I like a cropped Jean in the summer months.

Beefcurtains79 · 18/04/2024 06:56

They look great, clean and modern and good with a Chelsea boot in winter. I’d get them 👌

soupfiend · 18/04/2024 07:02

I think the model doesnt look that good, but the girl in the video (is it a video) with the green top looks really good in them. ARe they two different colours in those picture and video?

I like ankle grazer jeans and trousers, cant stand trousers that come over the shoe, I think it looks clumpy and unstylish, unless they're floor length wide leg trousers/jeans.

I think jeans are a massive struggle, they're made of rubbish material these days for a start.
