Here it is: what do you think about back pockets that slide down the leg instead of sitting jauntily on one's posterior?
I've noticed over the last few years a trend in these sliding pockets and I can't bring myself to say that they are flattering.
When I was a tender lass in Grade 7, I remember Levis making a jean--for women and girls--that had slightly smaller and high back pockets, and they just looked silly.
My eye prefers a pocket that accentuates one's posterior, a pocket that doesn't add an artificial lift or contribute a Dali-esque melting pocket (remember the clocks?).
In other words, no surreal pocket-watches.
I have never actually seen jeans like this, but I don't really like the sound of them.SarahD
ReplyDeleteI like the sliding pockets. I think that they are slimming if designed correctly. But what is that weird white patch in the middle of the back with seams on the side?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I think these "sliding" pockets look weird, and like the pants don't fit correctly.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm going to have to join Belle de Ville's camp here: I need sliding pockets to camouflage my sliding hiney. They really improve my subject-to-gravity caboose.
ReplyDelete(I'm glad to have helped in spurring an idea for you, miss c!)
they are not flattering on anyone, no matter your shape
ReplyDeleteEgad, I find these pockets unflattering (lazy-seeming, even). I like smaller, perky pockets that rest on the round of the derriere.
ReplyDeleteOooh, K worded her response so well -- what she said!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to wish you a happy bday, K. Hope you had a lovely time xo
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks, K.Line. I'm pretty quiet about it, but did have a very nice day. . .
ReplyDeleteHah! I came back to check on the comments that came after mine, and I learned that you had a birthday!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!
