A few months ago while I was still on my blogging hiatus, the team at Salty Crush kindly gifted me the most beautiful pair of wide-leg jeans. As a self confessed millennial skinny jeans lover, I’ll be honest, I was still struggling with the trend change to wider leg jeans. As someone who is also on the petite side, I’ve always struggled to find a pair that suited me, rather than swamped me. But here’s the thing, when you find the perfect pair of wide leg jeans, you’ll know it and that’s what happened to me when I tried on these jeans for the first time.
These are the Cindy Wide Leg Jean in Light Denim and they are a wide leg jean lovers dream. The denim is incredibly soft and buttery and it hugs your body in all the right places. The pockets on the front are super retro and I’m loving this style right now.
I think why this style works so well, especially for my petite girls, is that they are slightly more fitted around the bum and thighs and then flare out down the lower leg. This helps them to look far more flattering and less oversized (I personally dislike my jeans being big around my bum!) The fact that they are high-waisted really gives that boho vibe, so these pair so beautifully with a boho inspired blouse, (sadly the one I’m wearing is sold out!) or with a fitted tank and sneakers for a more on-trend look.
I am currently wearing a size 6 and I would say they are fairly true to size/slightly on the smaller side. I fit a size 4-6 jean (depending on the brand) and this in a size 6 fits me perfectly. If you were in between sizes, I’d suggest sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
These jeans also come in a range of different washes, including a dark denim, an indigo, and a stone wash. The indigo and dark denim are so good for office casual!!
