I've bought skinny jeans!!!!

[cupcakes]

They're not spray on tight, just slim and straight legged with a bit of a drainpipe feel going on. I feel very eighties throw back.
They're excellent when tucked into boots but this morning I wore them with flat, ballet shoes and feel a bit self conscious. Think where I live (the sticks) I may be regarded as stylistically challenged!
They're Gap, straight+slim. I think they're these ones but they don't look bootcut to me.
gulp!

I've got some like these from dare I say it M & S - LOL!! I wear mine with wedge boots.

[cupcakes]

do you feel strangely dated?
(v odd when I was hoping to feel v hip and cool)

[pootlepod]

My thighs are definately boot-cut kind of thighs

[Fimbo]

Not dated exactly, although I would say my jelly thighs feel a bit better in them!!

[cupcakes]

The funny thing is my thighs do look better in them than in the bootcut. weird...

[Fimbo]

Yes it is weird. I think as well I don't feel dated because I wear them with boots. Although I love footwear I am not really a shoe person and can't bear it when jeans finish then there is a gap then a shoe. Boots from now until about Mar/April then flip flops/birkie type things until next year at this time. IYSWIM

I know the ones you mean Cupcakes, I could possibly do them - Office (at our favourite new haunt) have them in silver and gold - tres chic!!

[Gobbledigook]

I normally wear long and lean which is an excellent shape for me. These are a bit lower waisted ('ultra low') but the bum and thighs feel the same (although look better). Legs are same length only straight down.

and they are a lot better when tucked into boots as there is no excessive roll of fabric hanging round your knees.

have just bent over and been assured there is 'no crack'

[cupcakes]

will have to wait and see about the knees.

[Fimbo]

Oh I don't do the tucked into boots look, but then again I didn't wear ponchos either
