"My" jeans rules

22 replies

Pompbear · 17/09/2013 21:21

So these are my jeans rules, I'm not saying I'm right but it might help others, (and might help me too!) As there are always lots of Jean help threads. Disclaimer: I'm no fashionista.

Skinny jeans:
Wear with knee high Boots, Ankle boots, or gorgeous heels for a night out. With longish / floaty top.

Straight leg
Wear with ballet flats, ankle boots or flat sandals. Turned up up with converse, brogues or ankle boots.

Jeggings
Wear with knee high boots Or super comfy uggs and slouchy tops

Boot cut (new style skinny boot cut)
So far, wear with pretty flip Flops/sandals or converse. Not sure how else without looking 90s

So that's how I wear me mine! I think I look OK. How do you wear yours?!

Very useful!!

With straight legs do you wear ankle boots inside or outside jeans? I can just about get my chelsea boots inside my jeans but does that look naff and 90s - I can't tell Confused

Also wondering what shoes/boots to wear with the new style boot cuts..

I wear my straight legs with my very low ankle boots I wear sort of wrinkled. Or rolled up a bit with my slightly higher ones.

Bootlegs, not sure of! Anyone???

I see people always saying they don't suit skinnies etc and I think its just what you water them with. I realised recently that for me, skinnies and flat/low shoes is awful. Knee highs and heels works tho! Probably for everyone...

Skinnies - low top Converse / ballet shoes / flat ankle boots / heeled ankle boots

Jeggings - low top Converse or ankle boots

Boyfriend - flip flops or sandals, jeans rolled up - or heeled ankle boots, jeans rolled up (but I hardly ever wear these)

Bootcuts - don't often wear these but if I do, ONLY with heeled boots (knee or ankle) with the jeans sitting over them.

Blotches should only ever be worn with a heeled shoe or boot,with the jeans covering most,or all,of the heel.Anything else looks dreadful.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 17/09/2013 22:56

Bootcuts not blotches!

Useful thread!

Jeans that are too tight may lead to thrush or other fungal infections.

That's why I always wear mine with air vent.

Rules · 17/09/2013 23:22

I wear straight boot cut with ankle high heeled boots.

Sunday, where can one purchase air vent jeans?

I haven't tried my bootcuts with boots yet, that's the style that feels most 90s to me, CIA that's how I wore them then, though slightly loosed I think....

I'm tall and I suppose athletic shape, so slim, but not much waist -straight ip and down.

Skinnies.... heels, long boots, ankle boots. All must have a heel, even if small. Flats make my legs and feet look like a golf club!

Straight.... rolled up -heels, heeled ankle boots and slipper style. But ankles are getting a bit chilly.

Cropped ... see straight.

Boyfriend .... haven't found the right pair yet, but I like the idea of them and some great trainers. Worry that it might be a bit mutton on me (39)

Bootcut.... heels, always a heel! Haven't worn for a few years but I miss them! They gave me the illusion of curves. I think they worked for lots of shapes.

craftynclothy · 18/09/2013 09:25

Pompbear Where do you buy your skinny jeans from? I'm the same size/height as you and am trying to find some where I don't need to chop a foot off the bottom of them or have them hanging halfway down my fat arse Grin

TheArticFunky · 18/09/2013 11:31

I don't get the rolling up the straight jeans Confused. Is this to show the top of the ankle boot? I'm worried this might look a bit Jimmy Cricket.

weaselbudge · 18/09/2013 12:18

Can anyone recommend some good straight leg or boyfriend jeans? I have a size 8-10 waist but size 12-14 bum and thighs so straight legs usually end up looking v skinny on me!
Also please please find me an alternative to uggs for this winter. My feet and ankles are cold in my flats

Crafty, the ones im wearing at the moment (and Love) are next high waist skinny, they do a short version, the don't fall down, hold my tummy in and are vanity sized (size down!). Perfect! I got mine on ebay. I got FAB straight keg jeans in phase 8. They are meant to be cropped but are the perfect length on me and are lovely denim. I bought them in the sale and love them so much I bought 3 pairs. Omaha they're called
