'Skinny jeans are dying out'???

[Whatdoyouexpect]

Is this true?

If so, I'm just wondering what I should wear instead - I don't mind dresses and skirts but it's freezing!

What do I wear instead?

Skinnies haven't been in fashion for at least two to three years. However, they are extremely practical in cold wet weather and people are still wearing them.

If people en masse are still wearing them then they are still ‘in fashion’; that’s literally what that means.

I have two teenage DDs (18 and 16) and they have both moved on from skinny jeans (they now favour mom/straight leg nowadays).

I work in a university and very few of the students wear skinny jeans. Cropped/ankle grazer/wide leg/mom are far more prevalent.
Also a lot of cropped culottes, much wider legs generally.

skinnies look horrible on me some people. for some reason they make my thighs look really big.

straight is more flattering for people with thighs of steel.

what about jeggings?

I can't find the post again, but please, where is hipster central and can you pay a link to or pics of the jeans you describe? Or was it a joke post (I'm naive).

I'm.guessing Shoreditch or Dulwich!

I live in skinny jeans. I have great legs and a good arse and i like them in jeans.

Who cares about what is in fashion? What’s comfortable is what’s important.

high waisted skinny jeans have become part of my standard uniform and I would be very reluctant to give them up because somebody deemed them 'unworthy' from upon high.

I have tried other styles of jeans. They all look shit on me.

I hated flares and bootcut. All that fabric flapping around, tripping me up or soaking up piss in the unisex toilets. Needed a hazmat suit to put the weekly washing on.

I tried 'mom' jeans; they made me look podgy and pregnant looking. And I have abs of steel. So, sod that.

I tried 'boyfriend' jeans. They make me look fat and dumpy, too.

I did 'hipsters' when they became fashionable too, and they were hideous. I had to starve myself otherwise I'd have acres of muffin top oozing over the sides of my trousers.

I also tried those twisted seamed Levi's that were popular in the Noughties. Chafing? Oh yes.

I refused to buy into the 'ripped jeans' trend. Spending fifty pounds on a pair of already worn out trousers? Nah.

The current fascination with exposing your ankles like a Victorian table is what happens anyway if I buy 'regular' jeans and I've always hated having to always wear boots because my trousers are too short.

I have suddenly become 'cool' and it cost me nothing. I feel like a winner.

I shall treasure this moment.

Just reading this after looking at a pic of my student dd(19) out clubbing in central London, in a group with pretty much all in high waisted ankle length black sprayed on skinny jeans with a selection of sparkly crop tops

Oh well I like fashion, flibbertygibbert that I am. I think it's good fun. Course I'd love to look stylish in that individual, beyond fashion kind of way but I think that takes exceptional creativity and I don't have it. So my compromise is to try and look modern but still like me. I get bored so I quite enjoy a change every so often. And I buy mostly second hand and keep, recycle and alter a lot of my clothes so I don't feel too guilty although like most people, I could always do better.

So skinnies - I'd kept one pair but they're in the charity shop bag. It's like the scales have fallen from my eyes and I can see they don't do me any favours. My favourite jeans at the moment are an old pair of NYD straight legs that looked quite dated a year ago but feel spot in now: Cuffed with a chunky, lace up boot, no gap in winter. As I've said somewhere upthread, I don't think skinnies are that great in bad weather cos they cling when wet and I find a slim straight leg is better.

There are certainly still plenty of people wearing skinnies round here but not nearly as many as last year.

Thank God I think they are incredibly ugly.
Also contravene the trade descriptions act, I tried on a pair once and they most definitely weren't skinny on.

I would not regard skinny jeans as out of fashion. I’d class them as more of a classic wardrobe staple.

I’ve seen many threads asking the same question.

Everyone’s I know still wears them, I work with an age range of 19-40 and they lol wear skinny jeans.

My teenage daughter wears them so does all her friends. Plus they are still readily available in many styles in every shop.

So glad waists are going higher. What with the low waist and tight thighs/crotch skinnies were never for me. However, perhaps someone can enlighten me with the difference between mom jeans, boyfriend and girlfriend?

I can't do high waisted as I have no waist but a boyish figure. They make me look 5mo expecting, or they just squash my fanny.

I can't wear ankle grazers as they make me look short

Won't pay for cut up jeans. False economy

Can't buy men's jeans as they are too wide. And make me have no backside.

Skinnies give me a backside, so skinnies it shall be.

There seems to be an age divide when it comes to jeans (in my town anyway!) The teenagers are all in mom jeans, the adults are still in skinnies.

I work in a large women's retailer and there are loads of bootcut on the shop floor . More every day! Haven't seen anyone buy them yet mind you

They look lovely in the evening with high heel pointy court and a t shirt and blazer.

@lindyloo57 try Next “Lift, Slim and Shape” jeans. They do them in petite too.
