Skinnies are now over- Times fashion

[pinkfrocks]

According to the Times supplement on Saturday, skinnies are now over; boyfriend jeans are the in thing.

Comments?

I'm not doing boyfriends. Sticking with the skinnies.

Eew at most of those pics in Glamour (and an especial eww at the unnecessary comma in the headline).

That 'baggy where the willy should be' look just isn't nice.

Some of the cropped with stiletto examples just look like they are crawling along on their knees.

I'm pretty sure I read in the Sunday Times Style supplement that skinnys were out at least 2 years ago. Personally I'm ignoring them and sticking to what I like and what flatters my shape :)

They look pretty bad in that Glamour link. Even Helena.

Not keen on that more rips than jean look.

the real problem is we have got used to wearing tight bottom half with a longer, looser top half. You can't wear culottes or boyfriend jeans with a baggy top that covers your bum, you'll look fat, it only works with tight fitting to the waist top half clothes, and in most of those boyfriend jeans photos, heels

Yes... if the bottom bits baggy you need a fitting top and vice versa.

The trouble is, women have become too used to the longer tops/tunics that covers the bum.

I haven't. [smug] I've been wearing a combo of both types in addition to some whatdoyoucallthem baggy cotton trousers which taper to create a cuff at the ankle during the summer.

I think I like the baggier bottoms as my upper body is one of my best features so I like tighter tops in general. I've got a small waist and "good" arms. I always felt skinnys didn't allow for that.

But everyone said exactly the same when bootcuts were declared dead and gone: skinnies look awful.. we'll stick to what suits us blah blah blah

Admittedly boyfriends are hideous.

I never do overly long tops. Looks so bad on me.

Floisme yes! They did didn't they! What's after boyfriend? Hopefully jeans will go out completely and we can all wear crinolines or something with a bit more splash than denim.

But it's true my jumpers are skinnies-friendly. Usually the shape with straight sides, they wouldn't look great with boyfriends.

After 50-odd years on this planet, I have finally come to the conclusion that jeans - of any cut - just aren't very flattering on most women

Faded denim looks good on someone with a tan, loose white shirt with the beach and surf in the background. Here in the UK they usually do nothing for people.

It's because my 65 year old Dear Mother has started wearing them

She's got no hips/arse and really thin legs and has just realised that skinny, well, narrow not super-skinny jeans suit her so much more than the mumsy bootlegs she's been wearing.

Tis the beginning of the end.

When skinny jeans first came out I swore I'd never wear them but I wear nothing else now.

What are we supposed to be wearing instead? Is it those awful 80s mum jeans with the high waist, baggy hips and tapered leg, that bunch up badly around the crotch?

cowsbiscuits - they do say that as soon as the oldies start wearing a fashion, the younger ones go RIGHT off it!

You are right. All the older women are wearing those hideous over-long tunic tops over skinnies.
I like tunic tops that are fitting and stop just below the bum, but those over-long shapless things look terrible - especially if you're short.

I hoped my mother was a one off- horrid to think she has a double . Or maybe you are my sister?

A great example of what NOT to do, my mother. And come to think of it, my father wasn't that hot either.

I do have a sister and a feckless dad but don't 'think' its you!

hmmm - if those very slim, beautiful women wearing jeans that cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars look that shit in them, the rest of us are buggered

YY to baggy crotches... grim

Nooooo. It took me until about a year ago to get rid of all my boot cut jeans and find skinnyish jeans that suited my shape. I don't think i will ever adapt to boyfriend jeans, I need fitted clothing not baggy stuff or I look even bigger than I actually am.

Boyfriend jeans look hideous on me and I dont wear that casual style well at all.

I think spray-on skinnies are well over...slim jeans are my thing.

I like boyfriend jeans rolled up with linen vest and big jumper and winkle picker boots Def don't wear skinnies as much as I used to like bootcuts with platform ankle boots and a silky shirt

I think spray-on skinnies are well over...slim jeans are my thing.

It's the skin-tight skinnies that make people's legs look like sausages and their feet look massive. But slim jeans are good.

I agree, slim jeans do look good. Which is why they will never be fashionable.

I can't do slim jeans they just don't feel right they are what OAPs wear here

Well I'll be an OAP before I know it so that'll do for me
