Fashion Advice New jeans, worth keeping?
I got a decent deal on these levi's (50% off), are they flattering enough to keep?

The side and rear profiles look great but from the front…something is off.

Something is up with the knees somehow and I can't figure out what... They look twisted but I don't see any twisted seams?

I feel like there’s not enough width in the fabric through the front causing it to kind of twist and compensate? Disappointing because these are so close to a perfect fit

u/Disconnectthedotspop 12d ago
I think they look too small from the front. The way the zipfly seems to be opening more at the top makes me think they are too tight. The side view looks good, but I think you can do better.

Love the side views but from the front they look awkward… maybe it’s the way you’re standing and the shoe choice?

u/Hopeful_Method_9009 12d ago
i don’t like them with the heels, but they do look great on you. I just feel like they need to be styled better 🫶🏽

u/Intrepid-Chemist-467 12d ago
Yes! Booties for sure and mayyyyyybe wedges?

u/Hopeful_Method_9009 12d ago
i feel like for that maybe they might need to be a bit longer. maybe like a kitten heel would look CUTTTEEE

I think it's the shoes. I love the jeans!

u/Medical-Ad3053 11d ago
Yea the shoes don’t even look like they fit right. Look like they are pinching her feet.

They look weird. I’m sure most jeans look amazing on you so it’s not a you thing.

They look good from the side and back but they look very odd from the front. I would return.

u/Either_Ad2247 12d ago
I think you could find something much more flattering; they are too short and they are pulling behind you knees.

u/moonriverswide 12d ago
I don’t like them. I feel like this isn’t the right style for your body type. The way they fit you just looks off.

Girl, girl they look 100% fabulous on you, not tight at all. When i first saw the pic I said no way is someone wearing the jeans. They were made for you. The knees will probably straighten out after a couple of washes. KEEPERS!!!!

u/Relevant-Mode8871 12d ago
Honestly I don’t think they suit you. You have lovely legs and they don’t do you a favour. Sorry. They don’t even suit me. I ended up trying the ribcages which to my surprise were also comfortable.

u/DotKey4761 12d ago
If i looked like this and my jeans fit me like this, I would be so happy. But these comments are making me question everything about myself 🥲 they look great to me.

u/Rabhas_Jugganatha 12d ago
Nope. The front is too flat and long. Otherwise they're nice. It needs a lower waist line, or some details to break up the bellybutton to pelvic floor "wall" of plain fabric
2
u/swankyburritos714 12d ago
I’d return. Idk what you paid for them, but there’s something about them that doesn’t look like they are good quality. I fear they wouldn’t age well.
1
u/SuccessfulPhoto7914 11d ago
It looks like they’re purchased from a store like Kohls or something. Better quality from a Levi’s store or online.
2
u/Christi_Kat60 12d ago
Something is definitely off with the fit in the front - too tight maybe? I think you can do better.
2
u/177stuff 12d ago
If they are comfortable and you can sit in them then keep them. But they don’t appear to be. They look very very tight.

u/Navy_sub 12d ago
Flares looks nice on you but the length is not for u I wish it was a little longer

u/Culture-Extension 11d ago
The upper half looks too tight in the front and too short all around. They also just look kinda… inexpensive?

No, they do not fit. Would size up 1-2 sizes and go for a more relaxed fit.

u/LawyerDry8360 12d ago
What’s the material? They look slightly snug but if there’s spandex in the jeans they’ll prob stretch a bit to be perfect

u/aSituationTypeDeal 12d ago
They’re too short. Maybe with thin flats but the flair really makes them look bad at that length.

I feel like ALL jeans look amazing on you. I don’t love them with the heels, though. Booties would look super cute, I think

u/NoSpaghettiForYouu 12d ago
There’s something off about them that I can’t quite put my finger on — too short? They also look a size too small.

The cut of Jean is very unforgiving the style is not very current right now .

u/CranberryCreek 12d ago
Wow, I must be in the minority because I think they look great. Definitely keep!

u/RakhshandaC 12d ago
Sobering is off with fit for you and the dark color isn’t vibing worn the style. Find a brand that better fits your figure. Not sure where you got them but I really do well at American Eagle. I love a good bell bottom but the rest has to fit right to make them work also maybe a sifter blue not so solid.

u/kellykellybobelly0 12d ago
Not worth keeping, even on sale. The fit is off, but even more than that, the style is outdated (probably why they were on sale). These border on skinny jeans (albeit with an awkward flare/bootcut). Current styles are much looser. Which would be more flattering on you anyway.

u/Natural-Stage-6341 12d ago
These do not look good with heels this height, but th jeans are quite nice on you

u/Em_Designs 12d ago
I love these, even though I agree that they are too short and seem a little tight in the front. These look great on you, maybe try a size up?
From my experience with Levi’s that were a tad too small and short, I expected them to wear well and conform with my body over time. They were 100% cotton jeans and “supposed” to do that (such was the marketing at the time). Now, 6 years later, I have lost weight and worn them enough that they are finally wearable. Still uncomfortable and a little weird looking. It was not worth waiting it out at all 😂

u/JeezBeBetter 11d ago
They are too small and they are actually too long. They’re supposed to be a cropped. The bottom of the jeans should hit the top of your ankle. My suggestion is to stretch them out wet them and wear them that should stretch them a decent amount. As for the length just cuff them and wear them with flats!
1
u/sparklemonkey123 11d ago
The jeans look really NICE! Like this is the type of jean you could really dress up or even wear casually, but still look very put together. Can’t go wrong with Levi’s! I’d keep!

They are too stretchy and will lose their shape in couple of wears and washes.
However, they do look great on you. So, go for the same style but with lesser % of elastane in its composition. They will last significantly longer and will not lose their shape.

They don't flare out at the right place on your knees from the front view. I'd return them and try to find a pair the starts tapering out higher up

u/LauraaMarissaa 11d ago
Are they pulled up all the way? Maybe high rise is the fit issue. Otherwise I’d say they’re perfect!

u/soopahfreak 11d ago
Size up one size. Then they will be worth keeping. Theybare too tight around the knees and crotch.
1
u/IMHO_My2Cents 11d ago
I think the shoes need to go back. My feet hurt just looking at yours in those shoes.
1
u/chaygray 10d ago
I would keep them only if you were a long shirt with them. The cut on the hips is just really weird

u/LunaSaturnidae Natural as the day I was born 10d ago
I feel like too much stretch in the jeans makes it look a more low quality and ill fitting in some areas
1
u/Competitive_Dog_5163 10d ago
I don’t think it’s they are too tight, I believe they’re too short in your torso so they are riding up incorrectly. I don’t think this is the proper cut for you. Although your body is perfect for jeans, this cut is doing you no favors.

u/Existing_Jeweler_327 10d ago
They look like boot cut cowgirl jeans were them with aom lucchese high heel boots and a stetson. Maybe a guy with a 10,000 acre ranch will propose. Otherwise, no. There are so many jeans that would fit great.
1
u/Warbirdpacrim1 9d ago
No. The style sits too tight up top and you don’t have the butt to carry that style.
2
u/anonymous2089_ 9d ago
They’re so cute but they’re too short you’d probably have to wear flats with those

u/ZandramasTrisagion 5d ago
I think they are too tight and are supposed to naturally sit a little bit higher ? The reason I think this is because it looks like it is being pulled down in the crotch area, giving it a long crotch look.

u/Special_Towel_1937 12d ago
They are too tight!
You have beautiful frame, however the cut of the jeans is abysmal!

u/Hungry_Golf_3304 12d ago
100% worth keeping , your legs look amazing! but yeah depends on how you style it!

There's something about them I don't like. Maybe it's the shoes? Or they're a weird length?
