Cropped Jeans? YES or NO??

[harpsichordcarrier]

I quite fancy some cropped jeans, I think they might look funky and will go with lots of other things on my wardrobe
BUT am a size 12/14
will I look ludicrous?

I have some, am a 16 on the bottom (I think? M+S says 14, but they lie, don't they?). I don't think they look that good, but they're very good for biking in, which is why I bought them.

do not get butt cleavage ones

Trinny and susannah are a bit anti crops are they not?

I wear them anyway and am size 18

Ones that are really tight around the waist, with a roll offat hanging over, which you can see through a tight T-shirt are to be avoided at all times.

i don't think anyone looks good in cropped trews (runs and hides)

They can be a little arse enhancing.

fat face have some nice ones
I'm in market for new ones this year, havne't bought cropped in ages, it's mostly skirts ( very forgiving skirts)

NQC do M&S lie?

Well, I think they do. I am reliably a 16 on the bottom in H+M and Topshop. (I cannot fit into an 18 in jeans in Gap.) But I seem to be a 14 in M+S.

cropped jeans yes. Huge turnups, no way - only 39 yr olds wear them

Yes! I am a 12 (plus atm?) and I have some stretch/skinny ones which I think look nice with long tops/dress things

I've got some with the turn-ups and I'm older than 39, I didn't know they had an age limit...?

is it more funky to have cropped jeans or cropped trousers in check/plain fabric - a bit safari with a crease down the front? they are slimming too as they elongate the leg

Well, Pesme, looks like it's just you and me who don't like the horrid things. Those cropped jeans always make me think of the Ogden Nash poems;

Sure, deck your limbs in pants,
Yours are the limbs, my sweeting.
You look divine as you advance . . .
Have you seen yourself retreating?

But I suppose if everyone else on MN wants to make their arses look huge, their legs look stumpy and their feet look Minnie Mouse-ish, that is their look-out ..

i love my cropped jeans. but i am tiny. and if i had any curves and looked less like an 8y old boy, im sure id feel differently

Trinny and Susannah would say no unless you are very tall and skinny, as they chop off your leg and make thick ankles look thicker.
I like them though!

I have a lovely pair from Next. And I have a gorgeous arse!

You can always rely on GDG to have awesome shoes.

Mars does have an awesome ass.

tragically i had to return these as too small in the waist, so at least i avoided the cottage loaf look. but autograph m&s sizing is not a lie, they are really small.

pic horrid as usual

oh I have had croppe trousers but not cropped jeans
I don't have a problem with being 12/14 but was worried I would look sort of diamond shaped and they would make my arse look huge and legs stumpy.
the stiffness of the fabric &c
