Yes or no to these white jeans?

I really liked them when I tried them on in the shop but as ever, in my own mirror at home, all I can see is beefy thighs and wide hips. Do I keep the jeans or take them back?

Take them back. You’re obviously not happy in them and they’ll just sit in your wardrobe. Change them for something you feel good in.

Eh? I see no hips or thighs.

However, I have a love it or return it principle so it's a No from me on that basis alone.

Perhaps some other colours might be better?

You have slim hips and thighs. I think the jeans look very nice but you have to like them, not a bunch of strangers.

ICriedAllTheWayToTheChipShop · 26/02/2026 17:22

I've got loads of jeans in other colours but just fancied white ones for when (if) it ever warms up or stops raining. But you're both right that I'll probably never wear them, so back they go!

The jeans fit you well, you have narrow hips and nothing like what could be described as beefy thighs!

I think the boxy top isn’t great, you’re clearly a slim person but the top gives you no shape or waist at all.

I don't see any beefy thighs and wide hips! You've got a lovely figure and the jeans (as far as I can see) really suit you. I wouldn't wear white though because I'm a messy individual.

The jeans look nice on you but to be honest I think the top you have on is a bit too pale and boxy to go with the white jeans , I think a darker more fitting top would look better .

ICriedAllTheWayToTheChipShop · 26/02/2026 18:07

I like the boxy top. I wouldn't generally wear a fitted top with fitted bottoms, as I think it looks a bit much and I actually don't have a waist to speak of. I'm also about 10lb above my ideal weight at the moment and feeling very self-conscious about drawing attention to the parts where the extra weight has accumulated. The jeans will be going back but I'm keeping the top!

With heels they'd be lovely, but white jeans are marmite.

hollytheheroic · 26/02/2026 18:09

Also you're very very slim so no need to worry about beefy thighs here

PhaedraWas · 26/02/2026 18:23

I don't like white jeans. Full stop. But that's irrelevant. Regardless of what the item is if you have to ask on here "do I keep this?", the answer is always "no"

You don't have beefy thighs and wide hips nor do you need to lose 10 lbs.

The stripey top doesn't look right with the jeans.

Return them. They are obviously affecting your eye-sight.
