Are boot cut jeans really bad?

[LardLizard]

.?

I actually think the skinnies look more flattering in those links lweji.

Those bootcuts worn by Diane Kruger ^^ aren't bootcut as we knew them in the 90s. They're called baby bootcut or skinny flare these days and are a much slimmer fit.

Would love boot cuts to be back in. The trend for skinny jeans (the old 'drainpipes') is just awful - agree with others that the majority of people just don't have the shape for skinny.

These ones don't look as bad; I think the dark denim is much more flattering.

I think the lesson of the Levi's pics is don't wear jeans if you're plus size.

Two, side by side.

I also prefer the darker colours.

😅Mitzy that photo! I've seen it before actually. Surely it's photo shopped as everything else he's wearing is so conventional?

Yes, the skinnies are the lesser of 2 evils in the pics.

mitzy OMFG my eyes!

When you look at the two Levis side by side, the skinny ones look much more up to date though.
I'm a size 16 and live in jeans (straight leg though). I wonder what size that model is.

I think it's real Margot! That ultra skinny jeans + ancient Barbour + brown deck shoes seems to be staple look for some London dwelling menfolk.

I prefer the shoes in the skinnies pic, but other than that there's nothing to choose between them.

Good Lord . I'm pleased I live out in the boondocks then, I wouldn't know where to look if I was confronted with squashed root veg on a regular basis.

Can you post a pic?

mitzy that picture! First time I've seen a man with a camel-toe 😂

I think straight jeans are difficult - I got some new straight jeans and they don't hit my boots properly, but nor do they fit over heels. How on earth am I supposed to wear shoes with them? They are about 4 inches too long, being from TK Maxx, but I can't even work out how to take them up, because they seem to taper slightly at the hem.

All the links are just flicking me back to this page.

Oh dear!

Blimey, that pic Mitzy

Thought Robert Plant had the monopoly on tight jeans!

Looks as if that guy has been sewn into them!!

I can't wear skinnies because I am knock kneed and the clinginess highlights it.

Boot cut are perfect for me, but yes, the right length is everything

My life was saved by drain pipe jeans I was 12/13 fell at ice skating pulled friend down fell on the blade and the tight jeans stopped me bleeding to death

That's worthy of a Take A Break cover!

There's no hope for me. I'M plus size (size18-20) and wear bootcut jeans, in dark,indigo,or black.

Being a pear shaped, I have always loved boot it's and have never stopped wearing them. All my trousers, work and casual, apart from sport joggers are boot cuts.

I like skinnies, straight and bootcut/flared jeans . What you wear with them counts, though. Skinnies are great with longer, looser tops and for winter or long boots. Bootcuts or flares are better in spring or summer. I do have long, slim legs, though. And my skinnies are not as tight as that photo!

I can't see those links, either on my tablet. They just link back to the thread...

I think combats are coming back too.

I think combats are coming back too.

Are they? Hated them first time around. They managed to make even the most slim thighs look like they belonged on Geoff Capes.

What about parachute trousers? I used to work with a girl in about 2002 who wore trousers with long bits of material hanging out of them. Even worse than combats.

Well I heard All Saints being interviewed on the radio the other day, so maybe they're back and bringing their combats with them .

Oh no. Next the Spice Girls will be re-forming and bringing their Buffalo shoes with them.
