So apparently skinny jeans are on the way out...

[Notcontent]

But for me black and grey skinny jeans (not super tight) are a basic that I wear with everything. I am very slim but also short, so wide legs or "boyfriend" don't look any good on me. A slightly baggy blue jean style may look good in the summer with a vest top but not with most of my clothes...

Do I have permission to continue to wear slim fit black jeans?

I don't care, I'm going to continue to wear them. My dd 18 wears high waisted 90's mum jeans and those with frayed hems flapping above her ankles. I'm leaving the fashion jeans to her and her pals 😂

This would make me really happy! I like them with boots but am fed up with wearing clingy and tight clothing on my legs!

Won’t happen. In the event it does I will turn into a prepper and horde 20 pairs.

I'll be wearing skinnies when I'm 70! (I'm 38) it's my go to shape

I recently got a "straight leg" pair from Zara (which actually seem massively wide to me) and a couple of Uniqlo "cigarette" pairs.

I'm keeping all my skinnies too though! I just wanted to have some options.

So apparently skinny jeans are on the way out...

Yeah, I've read this at least half a dozen times in the last decade.

You have permission.

People have been saying this for many years yet, here we are-still wearing them!

I’ll believe it when I see it!

Does anyone remember life before skinny jeans? I thought they looked awful when they started getting trendy and now of course you will have to prize them from my cold, dead hands.

People have been saying it for the last 10 years.
Ultimately skinny jeans are the best (& the only type of jeans i would wear).
Keep wearing them.

I've never worn them, as my legs are thin and my hips like jug-handles. They are really unflattering on me.
In or out makes no difference...

I just bought two new pairs

I also thought they looked awful when they first came into fashion, Weird that. I'll wear them till something else that suits me comes into fashion. Wide leg jeans are not that thing. 😱

People have been saying that for ages, but all shops still have 1001 skinny options and maybe one straight leg pair somewhere in the back of the stockroom. Believe me, I asked. Not everbody looks good in skinnies.

And crops/ankle length. Some people like me have cankles. I do not need trousers that draw attention to the fact. But can I have a normal, full length trouser leg? Not possible.

I'll keep on wearing mine. I can't imagine life without them. I loathe bootleg (I have very short legs - they look ridiculous), not keen on straight leg or boyfriend or whatever. Skinny jeans are my wardrobe staple. So long as they keep making them, I will keep wearing them.

Does anyone remember life before skinny jeans? no, I remember my freinds being allowed them in the 80's. I remember getting soggy hems in 00's on rainy days though!

Yes the soggy, frayed hem of the Gap blue Jean. We can't go back.....

Glad to hear others love their skinny jeans too!

I have been looking at other shapes but they all just look a bit wrong to me.

Just look at some of the horrors over on the other skinny jeans/new jeans thread - bad news man.

Stick to Skinnies!!

Did it in the 80s when I was young and skinny (which covers a multitude of sins on itself).

It's not going to happen now!

With boots

Does anyone remember Mudd jeans? They were American and SO cool. I had a massive flared pair that I wore till the knees wore through.

My skinny jeans - even 15 years later and two dress sizes bigger - look far better.

Poke it.
Boyfriend jeans are god awful. Bootcut jeans are frumpy.
Actually rarely wear jeans it's skinny trousers I wear or black jeans.

Thank god. I'm sick of jumping up and down trying to get into them. I hope culottes are the next fad.

I can remember thinking I’d never veer from bootcut jeans. Victoria beckham clung on longest with them.
