Ok, so are these jeans meant to be the new look?

So following on from the skinny jeans threads I have been doing some online research and I'm googling girlfriend jeans came across some on the Isabel marant website... I must be getting old as I would look terrible in any of those....

They just look like assorted shapes and styles of jeans to suit a variety of shapes and sizes of women. I like the look of the girlfriend ones and i am 55. My DD's would wear some of the other styles. They are nice.

Definite yes to the girlfriend fit. The cropped length is very flattering but wtf are you meant to do if it’s cold? Knee high pop socks as per the bare feet shoe shopping thread?! As for the cabrio style or the oversize boyfriends though... can’t see myself (or anyone) in those anytime soon.

The styling is very poor but I would wear a couple of them.

Christ alive!! Who styles this shit?

I was looking at similar too and thinking the same.
I do have my eye on these though

But can I justify the price?

ferrier Hush boyfriend jeans are my favourite, they are great quality denim and cut really nicely. I would not say it's a new trend, they've been around for years now. I would say they are worth the price, I virtually live in mine.

TroubledLichen · 06/04/2018 19:44

The hush jeans are great! I’d definitely wear those. I’d be all over them if it weren’t for the fact that I’m in the US so would have to pay £13 delivery plus important duty and local tax (yes I’ve checked).

Ellapaella · 06/04/2018 19:44

I like loads of those Marant Jeans, particularly the first pair.

blueskyinmarch · 06/04/2018 19:45

My DD2 would wear the Cabrio jeans. She is very tall and slim and styles like that look lovely on her.

GooodMythicalMorning · 06/04/2018 19:47

I like the hush ones, the other ones I can't imagine suiting anyone.

Notcontent · 06/04/2018 19:48

Maybe it is the styling. I would wear the first pair but only in the summer I think.

Don't you need to be long of leg to be able to wear the cropped ones ?

halfwitpicker · 06/04/2018 19:54

Seems dear to me.

PoorYorick · 06/04/2018 20:02

To be honest, even the silly baggy ones look better to me than the fucking hideous godawful curse of the FUCKING SKINNY JEAN that has been haunting us for about eight years now. I haven't bought jeans since 2010 because everything but everything is that fucking horrific skinny cut which looks good on precisely 2% of people and makes me look like the Titanic.

I almost wept when I saw that wider leg jeans are finally back. I might actually wear denim again. I don't care about things being in fashion but if they're literally not being sold anywhere what can you do?

ballroompink · 06/04/2018 20:03

I love the Hush ones but don't know if I can justify forking out that much! They do look worth it though. My current boyfriend jeans are from H & M, purchased in 2015. They are still looking good and would get H & M ones again tbh.

waterlego6064 · 06/04/2018 20:07

Those Corby ones are just horrendous, imo. Especially with those boots; I hate those cone heels. I'm sure it's a very fashionable look but it just looks ugly to me.

DairyisClosed · 06/04/2018 20:09

Cropped wide leg jeans are the in thing atm. I'm not convinced though.

flowerslemonade · 06/04/2018 20:10

Nice to see a bit of variety. I agree with PoorYorick that 90%+ of jeans in the shops are just skinny jeans, not much else!

flowerslemonade · 06/04/2018 20:10

I love cropped jeans :) was wearing them today.

TheJoyOfSox · 06/04/2018 20:12

I’m only 5 foot tall. All my jeans are cropped jeans, but the reach the floor on me 😳

soundsystem · 06/04/2018 20:13

I LOVE girlfriend jeans. Skinny jeans are too hot in the Summer. I feel like Spring has Sprung now that I’ve got my ankles out!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 06/04/2018 20:16

Don't you have to be long of leg to wear the cropped styles

Yes I think so or you need to have fabulous ankles. I think the cropped look make a lot of legs look stumpy Sad especially the wide ones with all the material flapping about, even the model looks shit.

TheJoyOfSox · 06/04/2018 20:18

Have you seen these shorts from Pretty Little Thing? Apparently sold out, I’d take your cropped jeans any day over these!

Trialsmum · 06/04/2018 20:22

Those Hush ones are nice but all the others are hideous!

TeaAddict235 · 06/04/2018 21:51

Exactly @ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo !!

That's why we shouldn't be listening to idiot stylists designers fashionista but just wearing what we like and feel good in. The nonsense that they bring out, some of those jeans look like they've been stolen from lumberjacks. It's ludicrous! The models don't even look happy in them.
