Simon,
"out of context" again fella.
I've met shyguy, have you? That advise was tilted directly at
him?

I would heartily recommend the wearing of womens cut trousers, if they fit you. The Aura jeans by Wrangler are really nice. They are just like guy jeans with a bit of stretch and useful pockets and right handed as well. IMHO, Wrangler have always made the best jeans. |
Context (yet again
) .... Where did I say I don't wear flares? In fact, of the [currently 16 pairs] I think only 4 or 5 are straight legged. And I mentioned Wrangler Aura jeans myself, some time ago? [From the US?]
It'll be back to 14 by the end of today. The jeans claim to be 34" long, but are actually 33". I've several pairs this size, with much better fitting waist. The N/L Hula's are claimed as 'Regular' waist, but seem a tad lower to me, so while their cost is attractive, the fit isn't. In fact the 12's fitted well to loose. But I don't have a pierced belly-button to justify the slightly lower waist-band and the problem this brings in keeping the ankle hem at the right height. [Low enough to hide a heel, but not so low I'm walking on them.

Glad to see some positive input on this matter from some members who are interested in dressing well.
P.S.
Just read
this post, which is pertinent because of
this picture.
Notice that Johnieheel has a
slightly flared jean on. [Look at his right leg in the background, which has not been raised to show his shoe style.] This cut of jean produces a flattering look, and enables more discreet use of HH when out and about.
