AIBU to throw them all out?

My bootcut jeans have been hanging in the wardrobe in shame for several years now.

Do I chuck them out or keep them?

Are they ever coming back?

I still wear mine.

Am I making a fashion faux pas?

They also have rips and holes which is an MN No No but it's because they're really old rather than a fashion choice.

Cut them below the knee and wear with long boots!! Tuck them into socks to keep them in!!

You mean they are no longer in......

I've seen a few boot cuts sneaking back into the shops. I think with the swing sleeves in fashion too we're going to go full 70s and then back to bootcuts

Ahhhh!! Ok I have put them in a pile in the back of the wardrobe - there are some really nice Jane Norman ones! Grin

God I hope they’re coming back. I love jeans but can’t get my welsh calves into skinny jeans much as I wish it weren’t so

I used to luuurrrc Jane Norman. I've got a pile of old JN clothes that I'm hoping come back into fashion too including a 00s swing sleeved, off the shoulder jumper which I'm buzzing about

Why do you care if Vogue says you should wear them? If you like them wear them, if you don;t give them to the op-shop.

Don't let a handful of stick thin fashion editors decide what you wear!

I threw mine out. Finally. Bootcut Jeans are now only seen on middle aged women who can’t get their head round skinnies or straight. I know as it took me a while but I got there.

I still wear them. Jeans are fucking jeans and skinny ones make me look like I've lost my horse.

MrsMaxwell · 11/01/2018 22:48

I haven’t worn any of them for a good 7 years.
