It leaves behind the low rise, the tight silhouette, and the not always flattering flare leg. Speaking for women proportioned with more on bottom, these jeans are perfect. I have a 2 year old daughter who is already showing signs of having our family's bottom half, hips and all, and it has become very hard to find jeans to fit her properly. As rough and tumble as she is, she is too cute to be wearing sweats all the time! Most girls jeans are low rise, tight through the hips, and flare leg, just like a woman's cut. This style has many downfalls for us: my daughter's waist and leg length is size 2T, her hips and bottom are some where between 3T and 4T. The waist on her jeans is either too big or too small, and rolling up flare leg pants is a pain because the always come unrolled. When she has on a pair of jeans that fit her length, the are usually too constricting through the hip area, inhibiting her play. When I found "boy fit" jeans at The Children's Place (one of my favorite stores for little clothes)I was excited because I knew these would work! Our days of dirty pant cuffs, her diaper hanging out every time she bent over, and not being able to throw her leg up on to whatever she was trying to climb were over! I was relieved that my daughter could finally dress like a little kid, not a little fashionista, and sure enough, they work perfect- despite the style name or whatever marketing tool is in play.
