Are you wearing bootcut jeans/trousers again?

[Shamazing]

I'm seeing them everywhere at the moment. Does this mean I can dig out the ones at the back of my wardrobe again??😊

I wear only straight leg jeans. Classic and never date. The height of the rise is irrelevant unless you want to tuck in your top.

God, boot cut jeans and high boots were my staple in the 90s - I wouldn't be caught dead in such frump-wear now. They just make me look awful.

Mind you I am tall with long legs so look pretty good in skinny and straight cuts and I find they are more versatile shoe-wise as well.

I wear slim boot cut. They're the most flattering style on me. I believe we need to think more about what flatters our figures than what is supposedly in fashion. Skinny jeans were wrong on so many levels for a lot of women, weren't they.

@BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo you just saved me from a purchase! Thank you for that photo!! 🙏

You don't have to wear them at half mast! That looks ridiculous.

YES BUT

remember that time Colleen Rooney wore flares that covered her feet, she looked like a bizarre footless person.

Any recs for slim bootcut jeans? I've been wearing jeggings since having a baby but photos suggest that it isn't a good look for me! I'm 5ft5, long legged and a size 10/12 and a bit of an apple shape.

Bootcut - never EVER again, I honestly don't think they look good on anyone.

Proper smart high-waisted wide-legged trousers are lovely with heels though and some women can pull off flared jeans.

Yes, I never stopped. Wear them most weekends.

It's a no from me too. I wouldn't say never again, and I am now wearing some straight legged ones, but boot cut is still a bit done for me at the moment,

Never stopped! They're the style that suits me best - I wear skinnies with wellies for dog walks, but skinnies make my legs look like bowling pins. Was overjoyed to find some super high waist super stretchy bootlegs at simply be, I've bought four pairs in case they stop making them :D

Bootleg fans - I'd love to see the way you're styling them as I'm starting to think I must be wrong!

They make my arse look awesome but I can't be doing with wet trouser legs so it's a no from me.

It does depend on your figure but I never see people in bootlegs in the real world - it's all skinny's and 'mom' or boyfriend jeans here.

Apologies for ‘the boot’ and ‘the jean’. In my head I’m being funny not an actual wank

😁

I get you, @pictish

Hell will freeze over before I say “a jean” or similar in seriousness (see also referring to an item of clothing as a “piece”) but I do enjoy saying things like “today I am wearing a naked eye” or “I do believe my arse needs a rather larger tight” and sniggering to myself.

All my bootcut/flared trousers are in a box under my bed - I had been waiting for styles to change back, but to be honest I am so happy with low-cut skinny trousers that I don't think I'll ever go back to bootcut/flares or high-waisted - would all feel so odd!

Bootcut trousers make big bums and hips look smaller.

Oh and I shall certainly be treating myself to a bootcut jean as soon as I’m thinner. I think they can be very flattering. They can balance a large thigh as opposed to skinnies which make my legs look like parsnips.

Legs are meant to taper.

Bootcut adds volume in exactly the wrong place, and makes those large of thigh look massive all the way down.

They only look passingly good on the tall, long-limbed and willowy.

I never stopped either. CANNOT get on with skinnies.

That's what happens to me Rancid, they make my legs look huge all the way down.

@DreamingofSunshine levi 315. The best slim bootcut

Nope, I see bootcuts in the shops but I don't know who is buying them as everyone around me is still in skinnies!

Totally agree @RancidOldHag, they give everyone elephant legs I think.

@ClementineWardobe thank you! I'll have a look.
