SKINNY JEANS, should they have stretch in them or not ?

[NomDePlume]

I would've thought that the stretch will help them keep their shape throughout the day (ie the arse won't go saggy after a morning in them). Am I right, or will I look like JonBonJovi circa 1986 if they have stretch ?

as long as they are not snow-wash too ndp!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Indigo is best for slimming down my thighs and bum.

if they have too much lycra they sag too: the lycra loosens as you wear it.

i have to admit i havent tried a pair on

-because i have a baby pot belly

-because i dont know what shoes i would wear with them

-because i suppose im too old (32)

because im only 5'

but im interested to know if they have stretch or not

ANY jeans with stretch in are a nightmare,they will stretch anywhere once they have been worn a few hours!

I am on a rare evening out tonight-my gap skinny jeans are my going out smart stuff would you believe!

straight leg jeans are the way to go now apparently, skinny are on the way out.

Who the hell decrees this stuff?

I saw a nice pair in a mag the other day - Gap 'sailer pocket' 7 year age straight leg, £45. Am off at lunch to investigate.

oh bluddy hell. I'm soooooooooooo behind the times

I think straight would be more flattering for me actually. Will have a look

what the blinking hell are skinny jeans?
can someone post the definitive illustration please and help an old lady out

thanks

NDP, I hope to god they have stretch in them, otherwise i could never get a pair on I don't have a pair, that craze passed me by while I was still deciding if I could pull it off or not (age, size, mummy tummy etc.)
Nailpolish, 32 is not too old to wear them I don't think! 32 is young!

Don't worry ndp - I bought a pair on Saturday. I don't think they have stretch in - they were only cheap from Pilot though. I have worn them with knee high heeled choc brown leather boots.

Another word for drainpipe!
Wore those in the old days

OMG 32,I am 42!

thanks LM

but it seems it doesnt matter now as they are old hat - apparently!

according to a magazine, not me, I am still sneaking around in bootcut .

Oh dear...can I be thick here? What's the difference between skinny and straight jeans?

What shape jeans should those of us blessed in the arse and thigh dept be wearing? I have not even touched any skinny ones as the word in no way applies to me just now.

I'm more 'pear' than 'banana' shaped in the fruit bowl of life, I'm afraid.

I have bought a pair of levis straight loose fit and they are way more flattering than skinny very low waisted but not indecent The Levi shop has so many pairs inc skinny you will find a pair to suit any shape

notasheep I thought you were about 18! Must have got you mixed up with somebody else. Are you all saying my new jeans are a bad purchase? I went to a designer outlet and tried on jeans in Gap, Levi, Guess and CK and they were all way too long for my legs (I am 5' 4) so that is why I ended up with the Pilot ones. Was a bit peeved that I'd gone the extra distance and still ended up with those jeans....

Well Bozza I feel 25! I get Levis as my inside leg is 35inch!!!!!

With my vast experience of wearing jeans Levis are in 1st place followed closely by Gap.

Even got married in a pair of Levis-white ones of course!

I'm 38 yrs and I wear Gap Skinnies as the best. The sizes are generous as I wear a size 6!

Well, I'm glad skinnies are out, I can stop worrying about whether I can get away with it or not

mu gap coupe cigatrette are great for goign out keans

english please fgs

dh has given me half his bonus to spend on clothes so I am definitely off to Gap at lunch now
