Pants and I, well, we don’t really get along. My body shape tends to be a bit of a apple/rectangle and finding any pants that look good is hard. Since moving to Melbourne, i’ve been trying to find the perfect pants to help keep me warm in the cold winter. I’ve found a few I don’t mind, but I think I found the jackpot with these Autograph ‘The Secret’ boot leg jeans!!

When Autograph contacted me and asked if I’d like to try a pair of their new jeans, I decided to say yes. I was a little skeptical (due to my pants aversion) but decided to try the bootleg style (I usually go for skinny jeans). When they arrived, and I tried them on, I was pretty pleased, but I knew they had to be tested. The thing with a lot of jeans is, that after wearing them a few hours, they lose their elasticity and become baggy. These pictures were taken after wearing them about 20 hours all up, and while you can see they have loosened up a little at the thigh, it’s stayed in shape everywhere else!

SIZING: I know previously with Autograph that I have to size down, so I looked at the sizing chart and ordered the Size 18 in short. They fit great, maybe a little snug, but don’t make me muffin-top too badly. The jeans have Secret hidden ‘reinforced panels to support and hold tummy area & bottom shaping construction’. Honestly, they don’t really show much difference to my flat butt, but they make it feel great!

In action! I wore them to the Curvy Couture Roadshow breakfast, Oh hai Suger and Liv!

So, all in all, I love them! I was gifted another pair to try out but I haven’t given them a go yet as these have been my go to jeans. Whoops! So be sure to check them out for yourself!
