Balloon Jeans

     The Old Navy Extra High-Rise Non-Stretch Balloon Jeans are the modern revamp of the classic 80's balloon jeans. These jeans are fitted through the waist and hip and, as the name implies, balloons around the whole leg and tapers ever so slightly around the ankle to keep that balloon shape and ends just above the ankle. 

    I will be completely honest here. These jeans are not meant those who have a butt. Because of fabric they chose to use, there is 0 stretch. While trying these jeans on, I knew right away that these jeans wouldn't be a good fit for my body type. How I knew this is that I had a hard time getting them up over my thighs as well as my butt. I will apologize in advance now because I will be referring to the butt of these jeans and saying butt rather frequently. So I'm sorry.

    Another thing that I would like to specify about these jeans before I talk about what I liked about them, is that you may want to keep in mind at how far the seam in the back, goes up your butt. It quite literally felt like I had a stick up my butt from how far the seam of these jeans were up there. If you are someone who doesn't have as much of a backside as I do, these jeans might actually be something to look into. You might not have the same issues that I had. 

    Now for the thing that I actually really liked about these jeans. Surprisingly enough, the legs of the jeans were really comfortable. I actually had room for my thighs. I wasn't worried about about if I sat down, if my legs would have enough room to be comfortable to sit for periods of time. I really liked that about these jeans. If I were to get these jeans, I would probably size up and go up to an 8 (I originally wear a size 6), and just wear a belt and tighten it a lot. That is something that you definitely can do if you wanted these.

    So all in all, if you want these jeans and you are small in the back, do it. By all means, do it. You might actually really love these jeans. If you have a bigger butt, and you buy your regular size, you're going to be uncomfortable wearing them. So size up, as long as you are ok with wearing a belt and cinching it, you should be ok. Plus you'll have room for your thighs too.
