Skinnies or striaght legs or neither

[Mumofjz]

Just recently lost 2stone of weight and now the proud owner of a size 14 body - i want to buy a good pair of skinny jeans or should I? I'm 41, 5'5" and apple shape - am i fooling myself in thinking that they would look good or should i buy straight leg jeans or go back to what i've always been told to buy - boot leg????

Try them all and see which you like.

I agree with fluffy - try them. I wear straight and skinny but now find bootcut too flappy around the ankle.

Please no bootleg, don't care what size you are

I think skinny but not skintight at the ankle is always fairly safe. Best to just try a few and see though.

If bootleg, they have to be long

Try them all, i am a 14 and i have big thighs, i like a straight or slim leg.

I am following cybbo around repeating this today, boot cuts must be long nearly touching the ground - not flapping at your ankles.

You follow away hokey!

I remembered on the other thread that I'd said NO BOOTCUTs on here and wanted to clarify!

lol, ALWAYS make sure my jeans touch the floor, can't stand that ankle thing going on!!!

I will go and have a try of all styles i think :) thanks ladies

Where do you think would be best to go - please don't say H & M or new look, i seem to get camel toe from ill fitting trousers

Gap are good for jeans. You'll need to try several pairs on.

Topshop Martha straight legged. We are the same size shape and height.

I am a bit of a jean freak and have about 25 pairs. Most of mine are from Next or Boden. Next are very cheap and do so many different styles.

for skinnies I think unless you are super-confident a longish top is useful, I don't have the guts to wear skinny jeans without one. H&M (sorry) or Gap
