Opinions On Boot Cut Jeans

Jordan2 — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 01:08:45 GMT

HSN is having a TS on DG2 jeans, bootcut and skinny leg jeans. I use to wear bootcut but haven't in a long time, I wear straight leg jeans. I know bootcut jeans are flattering, I wonder if I should buy a pair? Does anyone like and wear bootcut jeans?

I wear bootcut and love them. I also wear flare and straight leg. Only thing I don't wear are skinnies and jeggings.

I say order them as you always have the option of returning them.

My opinion only @Jordan2 because everyone has their own.

I have one pair and only wear them with a little bit of a heel or my boots.
I hate the way boot cuts look with flats. Sneakers don't look right with them to me either.

You have to watch out because somet brands are too flare and stick out funny.
My one pair are NYDJ. I also tried their mini boot cut and they had a peculiar flare. I sent them right back.

I do, and I like them..

BUT ….Not all boot cuts are “created equal.” Overall leg shape matters, not just leg opening.

I love my boot cut jeans. But they may be the most particular to get "right" for me to buy them.

The overall leg shape, as another poster stated, is important. Not loose in the leg, but not legging-tight either. The inseam for me must be at least 31 & 1/2", or preferably 32" long for Regular. I don't like wearing boot cut jeans with flats or sneakers. On me, that look is just dorky and unattractive. They are boot cut for a reason. I love them with a bit of a heel, so they bend just a bit over the shoe. It makes the whole leg look leaner.

I remember watching Carolyn Gracie sell the NYDJ TSV spanspring boot cut jeans with a 29" inseam for Regular. She said she kept asking for that length "because no one wears heels anymore." Perhaps for straight legs or skinny jeans, but she couldn't be more wrong about boot cuts. The low reviews mentioned several times how short they were (among other disappointing things).

@Jordan2 @I can only consider a very small bootcut but most are too flared for my taste. Also, being petite, my legs are on the short side even for a petite and I feel that most bootcuts make short kegs look stumpy.

but I also think bootcuts are good for slenderizing full hips.

@Jordan2 I am a "jeans girl" so I have jeans with all shape legs, skinny, straight, ankle, boyfriend and a couple bootcut. I wear skinny, ankle and boyfriend the most lately.

However, I do love a nice, flattering bootcut for actual boots...especially with cowboy boots. The last pair I bought, cute style, slight boot cut, like I like it (no flare at all please, just gradual, subtley released bootcut, enough to fit over a boot), were from Express. They were cute, good fitting & reasonably priced.

I bought the DG2's today, in skinny. I felt her bootcuts looked too flared out to me, more like a bell. I might be wrong, were I to see them on, but that's the way they look online and on tv to me.

All I wear is bootcut because they're the most flattering on my body. I'm watching the presentation right now and I'm tempted to buy, but that very long rise would come up to my chest and I don't need the larger waist as these are advertised to have. I also don't like the way the material bunches up in small gathers, probably because the material is either too thin and/or too stretchy.

Gee, I think I just answered my own question...

Everyone is different. I bought the boot cut in Indigo and Chambray. I am older and the shape of my legs lead me to avoid skinny jeans. I am short. My thighs have gotten slimmer over time, but I still have cantelope knees. Better to camouflage rather than follow the line of my legs.

@Deree I noticed all those things too. But...Rakuten had a discount, and HSN had free shipping...I thought I'd try them. I only tried DG2 for the first time last year, pull-on jeggings, and was pleased. These are different style & type denim, I know. I sized down to my lower end size, which wouldn't fit these days in other brands, but given the roomier waist and rise measurements, and how much stretch they appear to have, that's what I tried. My higher size would have been too large in the waste on her jeans, as I can see they are a size up from normal B & M sizing.

I do hate to try pants online and for the most part have "sworn off" doing so. But now and again, like today I get tempted and go for it. All my usual skinnies are tight since the Covid 15, sigh...so while I'm trying to lose I thought these might work. We'll see! 🤞

I have all shapes of jeans, but during the pandemic I wore pull on skinnies almost all the time. The other day I wore my boot cut jeans for the first time in a long time and thought, wow, these are different and flattering! I don't wear heals, but I wore them with ankle boots.

I think you just have to try them to see how that particular jean looks on your particular body. At least with free shipping you don't have to pay postage both ways if they aren't right for you.

I much prefer straight leg. The recent boot cut purchases have been wider than the old ones, almost floppy.

@Jordan2

If the jeans you are looking at are the modern cut of boot cut, they won't go in much at the knee then have a big triangle from the knee to foot which true bootcut does.

I prefer to wear skinny jeans with boots. I feel I look much better than boot cut.

I like boot cuts. think they are very flattering on me but mine are very slight flare----

I have 2 pairs of bootcut jeans in dark denim and in black. I love wearing mine, especially in fall and winter with ankle boots and sweaters. As a few others posted, I don't like the ones that come in at the knee and flare out a lot at the bottom. I don't think those are as flattering as a straighter cut down the leg with a subtle bootcut.

@KBEANS

So true about the "right" shoes. Different pants styles and fabrics need different footwear.

I like DG2 bootcut jeans. The leg opening is not too big and they aren't big around the knee area so that makes them a slimmer bootcut silhouette...very flattering.

ETA- My experience with the DG2 Classic Stretch fabric is that it stretches out after wearing...snug out of the dryer and then they get loose as the day goes on. For that reason I order one side down b/c I like my jeans to fit close to my body at the end of the day. Another thing about the sizing is that Diane said the TS jeans were acid-washed to make them even more soft and stretchy, more so than her regular Classic Stretch jeans. I would go down a size based on what she said there. Either way, the jeans will stretch out so it just depends how loose you like your jeans to fit during your day of wearing them.

Her jeans stretch when you wear them and keep on stretching. Also, her pockets are so small that anything you might put in them will fall out. For example chapstick.

I am sticking with flexibelle's.

I like bootcut jeans with heels. My favorite. Not flare, just bootcut.
