to think that those Mnetters who think bootcuts are Mum jeans and we should only wear skinnies are either a size 10 or smaller, and/or 5ft 6 or taller?

[LittlePandaBear]

Surely people should wear what suit their figure? Skinnies only seem to look flattering on tall and/or slim people if you ask me! Aren't most women pear shapes with bigger hips and thighs and therefore would suit bootcuts much more?

Discuss.

I prefer straight leg to boot cut myself.

[ENormasSnob]

Straight legs more fashionable than bootcut.

[MamaMaiasaura]

I like boot cut to go lover my boot.

[MamaMaiasaura]

Over not lover

[FabbyChic]

I only wear flares or boot cut, I like they way they hang. Id never wear skinny jeans they are for kids or 20 year olds. Not mutton dressers.

I prefer the straight leg...I am tallish 5 7'

I like skinnies with ballet flats, or boots (tucked in)

You are right then ...I am an 8-10 in new money!

[laptopdancer]

I have a large waist and a smallish bum and thighs so straight look like clown pants on me

Fabby I am 40, ...I look fine!
Better then some younger women...thanks to my Pilates

[Feminine]

I have a very tall friend 5'11 , she won't wear skinnies as she says it makes her look like a diver!

[Beamur]

I'd kept away from skinnies (my DSC's wear them and it seemed a bit wrong...) but I got a pair recently and have to say they are actually very flattering - they aren't spray on style, but are very slim fitting. I'm tallish but not skinny. Bootcuts are pretty flattering for most shapes but I guess fashions change.

[ENormasSnob]

Would rather look muttony (if that's possible at 30) than in a time warp.

[LynetteScavo]

Skinny jeans with ballet flats and a long top is not mutton dressed as lamb.

Straight leg /boyfriend can look fantastic. I am searching for the perfect straight cut jeans.

Haven't worn bootleg for years.

[Heswall]

Skinny's let me hand on to my youth without looking muttony IMO.
Providing them aren't teamed with a cropped top they show off my best feature without being saucy. DH loves em.

[piratecat]

i love the look of straights and skinnies , but not on me!

I like wide boot cuts tho, they have to be almost a flare. I loathe bootcuts that are still snug on the upper calf then go out, they emphasise the fat knee to much.

[FlossieFromCrapstonVillas]

Bootcuts are fine. I like 'em. Skinny are a 'meh' jean to me.

Wear what you like, I'm pretty stylish if I do say so meself so it's BC all the way.

[laptopdancer]

I think older women look awful in skinny jeans

[FlossieFromCrapstonVillas]

Gap Long 'n' Lean are fab.

[FabbyChic]

Skinnies make your feet look big, I just dont like drainpipes. I have always dressed classically, I wear sexy halterneck tops with jeans, or a shirt and a jacket think waist length suit jacket.

I like to look smart, not like the next person, I don't do fashion persee I do what suits me.

Ive seen some horrendous sights where people think they look good when in fact they look atrocious.

Even youngsters.

[Feminine]

laptop ...that is a massive generalization!

I take care of myself...at 40 I look fine in skinnies.

with a long top though.

[FabbyChic]

Oh I don't look time warped either I look classy.

[laptopdancer]

I am 46 and have yet to see a woman my age who I think looks good in them. Just my opinion.

[FlossieFromCrapstonVillas]

Yes to Fabby and her description of the 'golf club' look.

It's not a good one.

[nenevomito]

I wear bootcut jeans. Thin leg or skinny look awful on me. Wear what suits you and you will look good.

[IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012]

I wear bootcut, skinny (but not spray on) or boyfriend. Whichever style I go for they will be too long :( Even petite ones!
