Skinny jeans

Are they out of fashion? I literally don’t have a clue anymore. I’m 38 and I’m starting to think I look a bit of a twat in my skinny jeans. I think my thighs look chunky in them and I just don’t feel comfortable anymore. No idea what to buy instead. I had a look around the shops the other day and I was overwhelmed with the array of different fits! Help!

No they're not out of fashion but there are loads of alternatives out there right now.
High waisted jeans have been a revelation to me, so flattering on the tummy and hide a multitude of sins.
I've recently bought ASOS Fairleigh Mom Jeans (high waisted) to wear in summer with sandals and trainers, I also love my Hush Star Frayed boyfriend jeans, a nice casual fit.
Skinny's are so much easier for winter as they just seem to go better with boots and winter clothing generally but there are loads of great alternatives for warmer weather.

I’m a size 10-12, feel like they may add excess pounds. Do they?

I don’t think so - I’m a 10 and feel the high waisted are quite slimming and the slouchy boyfriend style I also think are flattering. I’ll try and post a pic of me in the Hush boyfriend jeans.

Don’t have a photo of me in mom jeans yet.

People on here keep on saying they are sooooo over, but I'm not so sure myself. I've bought a couple of pairs of boyfriend ones and will probably migrate to them going into summer, but when I look around at, y'know real people, I see only skinnies.

Ellapaella, they look great and very flattering. Going to try on a pair! Thank you.

Ellapaella what size are those jeans? I’ve recently discovered Hush although my purchases tend to be Ebay as they’re a bit pricey but of course you can’t send stuff back and the sizing is a little random. I have a similar problem having put in half a stone and finding it hard to look good in anything right now.
