Comments?

I don't care what it says in The Times,

I suit skinnies, I don't suit boyfriend jeans so why would I wear them.

[SqueezyCheeseWeasel]

Boyfriends look awful on me, so like bakeoff, I'll be unfashionable for a while.

Bollocks to boyfriend jeans, I'm wearing an old pair of brown bootcut cords, worn long and trailing over tennis shoes.

Very cosy I am too

[mrsdavidbowie]

Exactly.
Article probably sponsored by suppliers of boyfriend jeans who have millions of them in the warehouse.

All I can say is phew! Thank goodness I missed out on the skinny trend. It was hard to ignore but really bad on me.

Boyfriend jeans only flatter long and lean of leg imo

I've worn skinnies for so long now, I don't think I could wear any other type of jean. And I've recently discovered the amazingness that is Levi skinny jeans and I'm not letting them go that easily! Boyfriend jeans look great on some women but I personally don't like the look.

The boyfriends can keep their jeans. They're awful. I'm ready for something new but I'll keep my skinnies until there's a flattering alternative.

I think Skinnies are more of a staple they have been around for so long. I still love them but I also like the "luxe" joggers which are around at the moment. I do like boyfriends though.

ggirl, I'm not so sure tbh. I'm relatively long and lean (32in inside leg, sz8) and they bury me. They look proportionally wrong, shortening my legs and making them look chunkier than they are. Yet my teeny mate, 4ft 10, about a sz12-14, looks fantastic in them, they look much better on her proportions.

I tried some on in H&M. Big mistake, I looked awful. Like a turnip in skinny jeans too.... think i'll just stick to skirts!

[SqueezyCheeseWeasel]

Lol @ turnip

[Skinheadmermaid]

I don't care! -sticks out tongue- I've always hated bootleg jeans even when they were 'in' and boyfriend jeans make me look enormous.
I disagree vehemently that they are more flattering for pear shapes, you just need black or very dark colours.
Dresses are the most flattering thing, but not very practical for walking the dog in.

I am glad they're over. They were done to death and worn by people who simply shouldn't have gone there.

[JubJubBirds]

I love boyfriend jeans! (Not the really baggy ones though.)

[JustSpeakSense]

Yay to boyfriend jeans! My legs look like parsnips in skinnies!

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

Do you know what jeans I like? Those ones that look really 80s with turn ups and that taper towards the ankle. What are they called?

[noddyholder]

Who cares what they say! I wear all kinds skinny flared bootcut boyfriend I see them as basics and good for different looks.

[OneSkinnyChip]

They are not over for me because they lengthen and slim my pudgy thighs and make them tie in with my slim calves! Boyfriend / boot cuts just emphasize my thighs and hide my calves which are the bit I want to show off. Plus YY to the mop effect of dry, draggy jeans on wet pavements. Skinnies, stuck into boots - win win!

[SirRaymondClench]

What footwear do you wear with boyfriend jeans though?
The model in the pic above is in heels but other than heels or pumps what else?
It's bloody freezing here and in Winter I need my socks!
I don't mind boyfriend jeans in theory because I was a 90s girl and they remind me of my beloved old baggy jeans but which footwear?

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

Ankle boots Sir. With a heel.

[DownstairsMixUp]

I only really suit skinnies to so bollocks to that!

[ginnycreeper5]

Boyfriend jeans are a nod to the old mom jeans as they were known in the States.
They're slightly baggy and saggy and are really unflattering.

Jeans don't have to be tight, but they should be fitting.

I like a skinny that isn't too skinny and not too narrow at the bottom - in otherwords a skinny with a straight leg.
It's when they're too narrow and tight at the bottom that they can make your legs look like sausages.

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

ginny I don't find them unflattering at all. They suit me better than any other style. Especially with a heel.
