Ankle boots bit more current but a pair of flattish bikers or riding boots is indeed a classic look.

You can be interested in fashion and not be a slave. This section is called style and beauty not fashion victims.

I will never stop wearing skinnies! I have skinny little legs and i look ridiculous in bootleg and most other cuts! Carry on wearing what suits you!

Hullygully · 11/09/2012 19:51

No, skinnies are definitely out. Simply can't be worn.

sassytheFIRST · 11/09/2012 19:54

Skinny jeans tucked into boots = principal boy.

I will still wear skinnies sometimes tho straight and wide legged much more flattering. And comfy!

noddyholder · 11/09/2012 19:55

I wore an old pair of gap flairs today very flattering

MrsCampbellBlack · 11/09/2012 19:58

I always struggle with straight and shoes as I generally like to wear a heel. Thats why for me skinnies or baby bootcut are best.

Bunbaker, take your shitty attitude elsewhere. I just want some fashion advice not a dressing down for wanting to wear some nice clothes.

Bullet - do you wear your skinnies with ankle boots? And who told you skinnies were dead?

SPsFanjoSponsoredByOrange · 11/09/2012 20:08

I wear skinnies with pumps usually. I even went on a date in white skinnies and grey pumps. He was impressed Grin

Wear what you want.

MrsCB this is a fred-about-a-fred in AIBU.

bulletwithbutterflywings · 11/09/2012 20:11

Yes, I do - well I did last winter and will again probably when I get some new boots.
There is a thread in chat atm with a lots of posters basically saying skinnies are OUT.

Are they in the fashion industry or are they saying that skinnies are out because they want to wear their bootcuts without fear of being called mumsy?Wink

MrsCampbellBlack · 11/09/2012 20:14

Oh what do they know Wink Leave them to their white stuff tunics and leggings [runs fast away]

Seriously - just saw that thread and I do think that skinnies with flats is quite a challenging look - I couldn't do it without looking dumpy. But that doesn't mean skinnies are out.

redlac · 11/09/2012 20:15

I live in scotland, it's wet and we get snow in the winter therefore I will stick to jeans which I can tuck into boots (wellies, snow boots, etc) so I can safely say I won't be on trend with wide legged troos

MrsCampbellBlack · 11/09/2012 20:15

Yes listen to dexter - she is wicked cool

dexter73 · 11/09/2012 20:16

Oh yes indeed Wink!!

Bunbaker · 11/09/2012 20:16

Sorry. I was a bit OTT. But I still believe that style is far more flattering than fashion. If skinnies suit you then wear them. I can't see everyone suddenly stopping wearing skinnies any more than people suddenly stopped wearing bootcut.

The shops are full of all styles of jeans so I don't believe that there is one particular style that is particularly "in" any more than there are any that are particularly out.

I tend to wear straights as they suit me better than any other style. Skinnies don't suit me and just scream out fashion victim. Bootcut suit me as well and I still wear mine.

On the subject of denim, can anyone tell me where to find some? I want proper denim, not this stretchy tomfoolery but I can't find any!

Caerlaverock · 11/09/2012 20:23

They are still in if you wear them inside out with a peplum batwing organza blouse taps nose

bulletwithbutterflywings · 11/09/2012 20:29

Caer - that sounds like a PLAN! Grin
