I can't understand why some think they don't look good - I think they are very flattering, if the right size is being worn, and as long as no muffin top is involved.
too many pairs in blue shades to count, denim and cotton
several pairs in black, denim, velvet and cotton
3 pairs of brown, 1 in denim, 2 in cotton
1 pair grape in cotton
1 pair very narrow blue and white stripes
2 pairs grey, 1 in denim, 1 in cotton
I also have cord jeans in several colours. Also have linen, now I think about it. Some pairs are cropped.
I suppose I have pairs for all seasons. I'd rather have a pair of jeans with all the useful pockets that don't make you look a strange shape, than a pair of trousers with pockets in the side seams that make you look as if you are wearing jodhpurs.
