Looking for more long jeans and Top Shop have some of these. Can't really see what's different about them. What on earth?

for people who have no arse?

OrmIrian · 08/04/2008 14:47

Ah. Thankyou. Not sure that would work. Long slimmish legs, wide hips. Suspect I'd look huge.

Thanks for the advice.

thanks for this thread OrmIrian, i am a fellow 5'11-er and have been pondering whether the boyfriend fit jean thing would be flattering for me..or not. Am fortunate to be 15 mins walk from topshop so if i get a chance to go there and try some on i will let you know! I am a 14 anyway with big hips/thighs so if they suit me i am sure they will suit you..

Excellent fairylights! I do have an unfeasible large bottom though. Compared to the rest of me. DH says not but what does he know.

im a size 18 5ft 2 and i love my slouchy jeans. i only buy from river island though. and they dont make me look huge they are actually quite flattering

ceebee74 · 08/04/2008 15:37

I am on the large side (tall aswell) and I think they are quite flattering (or I may well be deluding myself ).

As Mellowma they look lovely with flat summer shoes (flipflop type ones) - I have struggled to find winter shoes that look good with them so can't wait for the warm weather so I can wear them again.

I am 5ft 10 and a good size 12.

I live in my boyfriend-fit jeans and have 2 prs in slightly different styles from River Island. I find them a better fit than Top Shop which seem a bit less of a generous fit than RI.

I wear them with flip-flops or Birkenstocks in summer and Converse in winter. I find winter boots don't really go, except for the Timberland style.

OrmIrian - no fear, i also have a HUGE backside, but it goes quite well with the hips and thighs! So i will let you know if i get to town and try some on, am feeling inspired to now..
