What is going on with jeans trends?

I have finally lost the baby weight and want to buy a new pair of jeans. But trends seem to have moved on!

Had a quick look at my usual favourite shops and the majority of jeans seem to stop at the ankles (what shoes are you supposed to wear?!)

Also bootcut jeans seem to be back in again. Never thought I'd see the day!

Are skinny/slim jeans tucked into boots hopelessly outdated now? What jeans are you all wearing? Any recommendations for a size 12 pear shape?

Oh dear me. I've only just got used to skinny jeans. Can't cope with boot cut being back. I used to have a really flared pair in uni days. Ankle grazer I think I can do IF it gets warmer. I feel very old seeing my 13 year old god daughter wearing checked shirts like I had too.

I don't like 3/4 length or cropped bottoms. I remember admiring the 3/4 length on other women at the gym and bought some myself. I have long, slim legs and they just did nothing for me. Size 7 feet don't help Sad

I've always kept a pair of bootcuts though. I love them, especially with sandals in the summer.

'mom jeans' Envy > they are horrible shapeless same as 'boyfriend jeans' why would any woman want to wear those things?!! another trend I just don't get it the ripped jeans... why they just don't look good, but that is my view I have nothing against women that wear them, though I do think they suit younger girls.

I wore some proper 70s style flares yesterday, and it felt quite weird!

I find ankle grazer hard to pull off as I have short legs and a long body, and it seems to accentuate the short legs- as do skinny jeans, though I do wear relaxed skinnies and slim fit jeans. Unlike Viv, I think 3/4 lenght suit me- at least in my gym clothes they seem to!

I do think that when it comes to jeans there's s lot to be said for wearing a style that suits you best (within reason! Ie there's a few others also wearing them Smile)

Skinnies still in. They do NOT suit me - am a size 8 but they still give me carrot legs 😂. Am happy with a bootcut (balances out my thighs).
