This 70's inspired pair of denim is fitted on the waist and hip, slightly looser on the thigh, then extends into a bell-bottom shape from the knee down. The wide leg silhouette elongates your bottom half and makes you look taller. Which is exactly what I need. I love these fabulous pairs of wide legs from quintessential denim company, <i>J Brand. </i></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /><br /></i></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZZ4_-qckylH-u4sRYU0kLW0nhKfF0r7TvHp0-jxF6o5ovA3QBJHkGTr86Prv8IlEX_4JnfCbLE3VldIvlFxh0GxRyTUnD3rjqu_mG9nWzdnjY7QYDc5x5hKFOMtBlikEAtl3NGlmRGo/s1600/J+brand+jeans.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZZ4_-qckylH-u4sRYU0kLW0nhKfF0r7TvHp0-jxF6o5ovA3QBJHkGTr86Prv8IlEX_4JnfCbLE3VldIvlFxh0GxRyTUnD3rjqu_mG9nWzdnjY7QYDc5x5hKFOMtBlikEAtl3NGlmRGo/s640/J+brand+jeans.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /><br /></i></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Skipper in Atlantic.</span> 100% cotton, mid rise pair of jeans in a lovely blue-grey colour.
