No, not an abusive ex but a type of jeans on sale (in M&S).

That plus mum jeans, high-rise, skinny, bootleg, relaxed, straight-leg, barrel, slim-fit.
AIBU that there are now just TOO MANY JEANSES? In my day there was just jeans and not-jeans. All the rest was fields.

I dunno, I remember being overwhelmed by the choice in Cromwell's Mad House in the 90s. Red, black, green, brown, white, black, blue x 5.

I miss button fly

Well, it's nice that there's choice, I suppose. I remember when "skinny" fit came into fashion and I went into the local Levi's store to see what they fit like (having only ever worn bootcut and wide leg before), I was a UK size 10 back then and the entire store didn't stock anything larger than a UK 8 lol. The shop assistant just smugly told me "we don't DO this in YOUR size". Tad bit humiliating at the time, lol.

501s.
That's all I needed for 30 years. Then my arse got too big and I needed some stretch.

I love button fly, that's why I buy men's skinny fit and wear them rolled up at the cuffs, fits surprisingly well for someone not built like a drainpipe.

I am scrolling these jeans this morning too, don't get difference between cropped + ankle grazer, Mom (😡) and Boyfriend, then girlfriend jeans...... On principal I can't buy 'Mom' jeans unless I'm in the states or Canada and they look very unflattering. I had a great pair a few years ago, cropped, button fly, loose fitting, rolled up and really flattering, more like cropped cargo jeans in shape. I've been dissapointed by some M&S jeans recently and also hate the shit loads of brands they now stock. Can't find a filter for this. John Lewis and Next have good well made jeans too.

M&S have discontinued my favourite dark blue high-waisted balloon jeans. Not enough jeanses, I say!

Yumyumcakes · 15/05/2023 13:47

You got a link for these jeans op?, they sound like a piece of me. I seldom find an ankle grazer to graze my ankles on account of my woefully short legs. Do they have rips? Please don’t let them have rips or be low waisted

You got a marks outlet near you? I got those jeans from there for £15… I adore them

SnacksToTheMax · 15/05/2023 13:52

Ooh - good to know, thank you!! I’ll have to track one down and buy ten pairs 😬

The thread has added a lot more jeanses that I missedGrin
Button fly I can't be doing with. Didn't do enough pelvic floor exercises to be confident of managing the time it takes to undo them.
And as for ripped ... Angry
Still, at least we don't have the crazy mega-flares of yore.

No way I prefer choice!

Outdamnspot23 · 15/05/2023 17:53

Who's going around saying "I want some jeans to make my legs look more like a barrel"?

Too many (crap) jeanses, agree.
