If you are a string bean and like your jeans to hang wide and square off of your body, excellent, these are for you.If you have any curvature - and I am a lean, athletic, but curvy human - they will hang on you like a denim frock and cut you off at the late calf adding at least 10lbs to your look and certainly deterring any remotely fashion friendly onlookers from appreciating your casual look. It might encourage fellow panhandlers.If you want it slightly tapered so it thins at the ankle and adds an elegant but casual high water look to your closet without the choked off skinny jean look, I am deeply satisfied with the wedgie SKINNY. Because it fits exactly like a jean should, where a jean should, and is flattering everytime, without boxing me out.There is a reason so many of the models in the icon wedgie are wearing those god awful platform space camp boots I thought we got rid of in 1979 - skip the hassle, get the "skinny" cut.
