For those who are intersted in the wide-leg jean!

My favorite brand for skinny/straight-leg jeans is J Brand......received thi e-mail this morning showing their wide-leg.  I know this brand is pricey, but for me, their skinny/straight-leg jeans fit the best and look great.......I'm not into the wide-leg, but I know some admire Susan Graver's wide-leg jeans.

Thank you @HULAGIRL.  But Susan Graver's jeans are modified bell-bottom/flared leg jeans, not wide-leg jeans.  They fit her like skinny or slim jeans until slighltly above the knee when they start to widen, until they get that fantastic bell-bottom shape.  I'm still searching.  Smiley Happy

35" inseam? Wow!

I like the lower rise but boy is that a wide leg! lol

Were SG's that wide? I'm not remembering them to be....

Nice but I'm not  a super tall, super thin girl; so, I couldn't carry that look off.  Those are true wide legs which are hard to wear for the average woman.    I like the flares that SG has been wearing for months and months because they are slim through the leg and flare at the bottom.  I don't know if she ever sold those jeans here yet.  I have looked but I never saw them.

@chrystaltree the closest I've found are by Free People.  Their styles come very, very close, but I am still looking for Susan's with the wide band down the leg that her jeans have.

@HULAGIRL

They look very close to my eyes.

 

But again; what is up with those inseams?? And I'm just comparing to my 6' plus ex and my 5'11" husband and neither of their inseams are that long....I understand they're being inclusive of all but it seems excessive to me...(and I hate having to hem) lol

I like wide leg jeans (and pants in general) but what I don't like is the tapered thigh.   I have narrow hips and my personal preference is that the pants are cut straight down from the hips w/o the tapering to the knee and then the bell.  

 

They are cut like a trouser jean, but the leg is wider.  I haven't seen them for sale anywhere recently .. but I have a bunch in my collection.

Re: For those who are intersted in the wide-leg jean!

Nope, not a style for me!   I remember having pants or jeans that long in the 70s when I was a kid, and the bottom hems used to get soooooo dusty dirty from simply walking around outside and would eventually fray a little too.
