| I cannot believe how comfortable and cute these jeans are! Where have they been all of my life? |

I also love them. They are loose, baggy jeans for people who want less fabric, and especially less fabric pooling around the ankle. To me they are so practical and easy to wear.
The only think I don't like about them is that when I wear them with a coat that hits mid-thigh, the effect isn't great because the coat hits at the widest part of the leg so you look like a penguin. They work best with something cropped closer to the waist, or like a long (below the knee) wool coat. But that's honestly a minor complaint -- this time of year I wear them with a cropped navy pea coat and a love the slightly mariner vibe of the whole thing. |

| They make people look bowlegged. Rickets-chic I guess. |

| I love them so much as a petite slim woman- they give me some dang hips! Literally get compliments every time I wear them. Free people makes my favorite ones |

| I think they are a cute profile on a lot of people. Probably more universally flattering than skinny jeans. |

MUCH more flattering than skinny jeans! (Signed, a runner whose thighs really did not work with skinny jeans!) |

| Skinny jeans are much more flattering for woman. |

| Happy with my plain vanilla high waisted jeans with normal straight legs. |

I guess if you're a tall, skinny woman, even a trash bag will look good on you.
Alas, i'm 4.11 and not skinny so I would look horrendous in them |
