OMG

I'll be able to get them up to my knees.

Are the wider ones really out then? I just bought myself 2 pairs from Next ?

They look ordinary to me.. is this just a revival of the 80s 'stretch jeans'? They will only be as 'skinny' as the person in them surely! (sadly! ) Or do they have some kind of control panel aka BIG knickers??! If so, show me the way...!!

SleepySuzy · 07/09/2005 10:28

are you looking at any of these, lol

SleepySuzy · 07/09/2005 10:29

I haven't got the foggiest, I don't follow fashion, I'm a frump! I didn't know they were in!

puff · 07/09/2005 10:30

lol SJ - yes they look just like the 80's style ones to me too.

Having just got to the point (by losing 6 stone) where I feel confident in non skinny Jeans, I'm a bit fed up that I'm not going to look trendy in them!

It will be a shame, cos I find the bootleg ones quite flattering, as long as they're not low rise.

SleepyJess · 07/09/2005 10:40

WOW Puff! 6 stone!!! WELL DONE YOU!! Did you do any particular plan?

SleepySuzy · 07/09/2005 10:41

Yeah! Well done! (sorry for delay, half asleep!)

puff · 07/09/2005 10:41

Gap are doing some straight legged jeans which are supposed to be very flattering. Unfortunately their website is down so I can't do a link.
Puff - well done!

SleepyJess · 07/09/2005 10:44

PUFF omg have just posted on the slimmers thread.. please could you go there and advise my about my GI confusion! Thank you x

puff · 07/09/2005 10:45

Might have a look in Gap - thanks cupcakes.

You see the 80's girl in me still lurves the straight leg skinnier style!

I have got some Gap ones despite being not skinny and a confirmed boot-cut wearer. They are flattering ime!

Pollyanna · 07/09/2005 10:50

imo not ime (although maybe that too?)

SleepySuzy · 07/09/2005 10:51

What if you've got a big bum and hips? Does it work?

bundle · 07/09/2005 10:52

no

puff · 07/09/2005 10:53

yes cod - I think I fondly remembered my "sex machine" jeans on that one.

Skinny jeans are for apples, not for us pears
