What’s wrong with these pants?
Zara Wide-Leg Crossover Waist Jeans

For context, I’m 5’1”, pear shaped, with short legs. These pants from Zara feel great on. They fit both my waist AND hips (usually it’s just one or the other). But in photos it seems like they don’t look as great as they feel. I just can’t point my finger on what’s wrong with it exactly.
Quick review for anyone seeing these Zara TRF crossover waist jeans popping up on their feed from earlier this year. (Size EU 38)
I had to get the hem adjusted (took off at least 2.5 inches), so if you're between 5'0" and 5'5", plan on a trip to the tailor (yes, even if you wear heels, it's still long!) I guess the TRF line of Zara definitely seems geared towards taller folks 😅
Nonetheless, I love the unique crossover waist! It drapes beautifully and the slight V-cut at the front really makes you look slimmer. It hangs nicely and gives a flattering, cinched-in effect.
Overall Verdict- The tailoring is always a hassle, but for these pants I guess it's worth it for the unique style and slimming fit of the crossover waist!
