I wanted a casual trouser jean with a bit of a 70s vibe to wear for semi-professional events, but I didn't feel comfortable in these. They were a bit long and would have needed hemming, and honestly while the 70s look is back in again it felt sort of like a costume when I tried these on with a peasant-type blouse. Maybe it's just not my thing. I normally wear a 12 and chose a size 12 and these were just a bit looser, so next time I think I'd try a 10 in a different style.
