I like them in theory but as they're often non-stretch, I find it hard to find ones that fit just as I want. Which ones did you try? I actually got some in the Next sale just yesterday but I need to lose a few lockdown pounds before I can wear them 🙄

IwishIhadaMargarita · 11/07/2020 13:20

I was considering some but I’m fat and worry they might make me look bigger. I was wondering in they’s be more flattering than skinny ones.

hula008 · 11/07/2020 13:22

I love them (high waisted only tho!!) but yeah the issue is the stretch - I have to wear a belt with them which isn't always comfortable. I'm a size 24 and 27 years old and never thought I'd get away with anything wide legged but as long as I roll them up at the ankle they look so stylish

lockdownalli · 11/07/2020 13:22

I look like shite in them.

I have skinny legs and a big tummy. Medium arse.

I usually wear skinnies but just got some straight leg jeans which I really like. I am trying to build up the courage to go back to boot cut Smile

somewomenneedaslap · 11/07/2020 13:25

I got some and wore them for the first time last week and my god they made me look massive and I felt so uncomfortable. I've got a slim waist but big thighs and bum, did nothing for me.

ChelseaCat · 11/07/2020 13:27

I’ve gone for Mom shorts this year and I LOVE them. Not sure I’d like them on my thighs as jeans but they work as shorts

If you like them OP then go for it!!

Louise0701 · 11/07/2020 13:27

I love them. I have a few pairs as I find them easy to wear and quite flattering. I roll them up at the ankle and just wear them with trainers, a tucked in T-shirt and a belt.

Louise0701 · 11/07/2020 13:28

Also high waist only!

Louise0701 · 11/07/2020 13:28

I’m 5 foot 1 if that helps

MikeUniformMike · 11/07/2020 13:28

I'm skinny with no arse and look fat in them.

Bodgedboxdye · 11/07/2020 13:30

Love them.

I didn’t think I would until I bought some, but they’re so good. Plus they go great with converse.

madcatladyforever · 11/07/2020 13:32

hate them, i cannot bear the high waist and I'm 58.

Crazycrazylady · 11/07/2020 14:10

Frantically googling mom jeans here.. had no idea what they were!

SockYarn · 11/07/2020 14:11

They're exactly like the jeans we all wore in the 80s.

BogRollBOGOF · 11/07/2020 14:16

High waist- good.
Slightly cropped- bad to disasterous on a short pair shape.

I have got steaight legs which are fine. Not too far off from a boot cut.
I miss boot cut.

BogRollBOGOF · 11/07/2020 14:17

Pear shape. Argh!

AnyFucker · 11/07/2020 14:19

Unflattering to pretty much everyone, sorry

RogueV · 11/07/2020 14:20

I really like them

But I look terrible in them!

1940s · 11/07/2020 14:20

I'm slim but carry weight on my tummy. I'm a size 10 but the minute I put them on I look 6 months pregnant

Roadrunner550 · 11/07/2020 14:21

I have high waisted ones from Topshop, love them!

Charleyhorses · 11/07/2020 14:21

I am short, skinnylegs and a bit of a tum. I look like someone out of a 1980s Grattan catalogue in the mature section. So not a look for me!

Allinadaystwerk · 11/07/2020 14:22

I'm 5'10 size 12. I bought us hate them but rolled up with a flopped white shirt and trainers or boots they look ok. I have gained weight so feel less confident in skinnies.
I felt more fashionable in them. Just needed to get ahead around them.

My daughter, who is a twiglet, where’s them and they make her look chunky. I’d look dreadful in them.

Allinadaystwerk · 11/07/2020 14:24

Bought us hate?!? Sorry for ALL those typos... I just were them rolled up with a cropped white shirt 🙈
