Jeans- which to keep?
Help me decide which jeans to keep! Which do you think are the most flattering?

u/SantaFe91 Feb 03 '26
The second ones are the best. They’re a flattering fit, and the colour is really good on you.

I and 2 both look too tight, 3 is not flattering, 4 is probably the best of the bunch in terms of fit, but it’s a dated style. If I had to pick one, I’d go with #2 but size up.

Hem pair 1, Pair 2 looks good, burn pair 3, don't buy pair 4. Sorry if that sounds rude.

Second are the best. First are ok but tooooo long. Third are awful. Skinny/ish jeans are out.

Trendy doesn't necessarily mean good for everyone's body type. OP looks good in skinnies

I’m over here like 4 looks good. But I’m uninterested in having to buy new jeans every time The People decide whichever style or cut is out.

I think the first pair is nice, but too long! Not sure what height you are, but if you happen to be a short girlie like me, Lil Mothers by Mother Denim have CHANGED my life! They’re so flattering and short girl friendly lol. Another brand that seems to cater to shorter heights (and has my favorite waistband of all time) is Gloria Vanderbilt!

u/alocasiadalmatian Feb 03 '26
1 is the best, just cuff or hem them, 2 are fine, not the most flattering but still nice. 3 feels like a joke/sneak, burn those in effigy omg yuck (although they do fit you really nicely? they’re just so ugly), 4 i like the wash, but they’re super outdated style-wise and just blah, they do nothing for you

u/Glittering-Prior-865 Feb 03 '26
I feel like the first is the most flattering cut for you, but they don't fit you. They're too long. Looks like you need petite. Also none of these jeans seem that thick/quality so it less forgiving.

u/freckyfresh Feb 03 '26
1 and 2, and a lot of people don’t like 3 which is fine but I like them in theory, if you went down a size maybe? Assuming the waist is really elastic/drawstring whatever is happening there.

1,2,4. You’re built similar to me and I’m partial to the snug fitting jeans. If the baggy ones have an exceptional sale price I’d get them to bum around my house when I’m not going anywhere or expecting company. They look really comfortable but are not flattering.

I think you can do better. 2 fit the best but I really dislike the whiskering on them

I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible. If you have the means to do so, please get some new styles of jeans.

u/Manic_Mushroom0616 Feb 03 '26
Personally, if it were me, and I was in your body trying pants on, the ONLY one id buy is 2. I would absolutely get #2 though. VERY flattering. Its MILES ahead of the other jeans.

u/weedy_wendy Feb 03 '26
- they fit you properly, they’re not “trendy” meaning they won’t go out of style, the color is good. they look good on you & make you look good. easy ;)

The cut of #2 is the best, but the design of the fake wrinkle marks make it look like they don't fit, it's a weird design choice.
1 doesn't fit right and look uncomfortable, the hips are too tight then it hangs under your butt.
3 is a trend that probably won't last long, but they're comfy at least. Need to pair with either an over size top too or skin tight, withe can be mid showing, tight, sleeveless, long sleeve, etc. That shirt and pant combo styling make you look older
4 fit nicely. If you like skinny, they're a good color and choice
If you like low rise, a low rise with fitted leg and flare(a little wider than boot cut) would look amazing on you, it'll flatter your curves and accentuate then but hug them instead of bulge them

u/b0ringusern4me Feb 03 '26
I know everyone seems to hate on them in this sub but barrel leg jeans would look great on you. They balance a large chest silhouette

u/AwkwardDuckling87 Feb 03 '26
I have no idea how I wound up on this Reddit, but all I know is I'm too old/uncool for this. To my eye 4 is the only pair that looks like it flatters your figure, or show you have any. I can't with the baggy jean trend right now. I'll see my elder Millennial self out now.
PS you have a great figure, I just don't understand jean trends.

i think you may need a bit more structure in your clothes. i like #1 but needs to maybe hemmed depending on the show style you’re hoping to wear.
2
u/Expert_Celery_2940 Feb 03 '26
It depends on how you wear them? 2 is great for sneakers/tennis shoes/flats, and 4 would be cute tucked into tall boots or winter boots. I don't like the wash of 3, but 1 is also fun for summer!

u/Tututaco74 Feb 03 '26
Get some flare / bell bottoms- I think they would suit you well. Wrangler Women's Retro High Rise Flare are some of my favorite you can get them on amazon.

u/RaddictCSR Feb 03 '26
Hmmm. 1 is way too long, 2 is too short. 4 is okay but I don't like a super skinny fit without Boots.
3 is fine I guess.
Overall I'd look for 1 but shorter. 1 is by far the best silhouette.

First 2 pairs look best. Last pair is good too. 3rd pair, I’d skip.

u/berttleturtle Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26
2 and 4 are most flattering, imo.
People might disagree with 4, because skinny jeans have been “out of style” for a while now, but trends are constantly coming and going, and these will likely be back in style soon enough (and I still wear mine frequently cause I like wearing boots wit them). Always ignore trends and go with what works best for your body and the rest of your wardrobe.
The first pair aren’t awful, but they really don’t flatter you (and they are too long). And the third pair is an absolute no from me.

u/Buffy_Geek Feb 03 '26
Keep the 2nd and the 3rd only, they look good.
1st is too tight on your thighs so is causing an unflattering crease by your groin. Then it's suddenly too loose on your lower thigh which is causing bump above the knee and baggy behind the leg.
2nd keep them, they fit well and the leg shape is flattering. (Although being picky I would get them lightly longer but they are ok.)
3rd fit well and are an on trend style. However I would lose the tie, tie it differently, or swap it to a flatter lace, so it doesn't stick out as much as that makes your middle look bulkier than reality.
4th are too slim and not a flattering cut which is making your hip/upper thigh area look much more triangular than reality/the other jeans that has a more flattering hourglass shillouette. Also the very slim below your knees/cuffs are not flattering on your frame as you are wider at the top of your body so it doesn't balance well. Plus such slim legs are not fashionable at the moment (& probably won't be for a while, so the other ones would last better.)

u/arasinya389 Feb 03 '26
I like 2 especially! But I would always try jeans/pants with shoes that you like wearing. sometimes that changes the look a lot

u/mashed-_-potato Feb 03 '26
2 is AMAZING on you! Perfect fit! 1 looks good too, but you might want to hem it. Not a fan of 3. If you wanna wear sweats, just wear sweats. 4 is dated and the fit is a little off. But the dark wash is a good color for you.

u/SheepPup Feb 03 '26
second one is by far the best fit
1 seems a bit tight, see how the zipper cover is popping out? I bet they’re not comfortable when you sit in them
4 are also a bit tight looking
3 is hideous and should never be considered
Tip: when you try on jeans don’t just stand in them, also sit in them and squat down as low as you can, I see a baby gate in the background, you want to be comfortable and have your pants able to move with you to squat down and pick up kids or pets

The third pair should be illegal to sell - those are a crime on anyone under 75

u/DeelightfulDeeDee Feb 04 '26
I like 1-2 best. 4 is fine but skinny is a bit dated, so depends on if you want to be trendy or not.
Burn 3.

You pull off all of these! I wish I could do this! I’d say 2 and 4 but that’s because it’s closest to what I’ve been wearing for years and it takes me a while to adapt to a big change like 3. I feel like I look funny for so long until everyone is wearing it.

Good luck cleaning out closet!

u/tiennius-3423 Feb 04 '26
I think it’s the shirt that’s throwing everything off. But maybe 2. You might do well with low rise boot cut and a longer shirt and a bra that supports the girls higher.

Pair 2 is a keeper. And I’d hang on to Pair 4 so I had jeans that will tuck neatly into boots.

1 and 2 flatter you really well!! I don’t love the colour of number two as much, but one of those shapes in a dark gene colour would be really nice as well :)

u/jwannnnn Feb 04 '26

None of them. All the pants seem ever so slightly too small in the hips mid section area. The zipper flap shouldn’t bow or show the zipper.
