What's the alternative to skinny jeans?

[bobbiewickham]

Are bootcuts really dead?

I've tried to keep going with them as long as possible, as they suit my body shape (size 14, bit of a muffin top and erm, comfy thighs) but even to my eyes the old bootcuts are looking fogey.

What to do?

Wideleg/boycuts have been my saviour throughout summer, as they look fine with birkies/flipflops, but now autumn is coming, what jeans do I wear with heels/boots for a smarter look when skinnies just are not made for me?

Is this a sign of ageing? Are my jeans-wearing days over? And why do shops like Monsoon make straight leg jeans with a 'waistband' that barely covers my caesarean scar?

Help!

ROFL at carrot fit - been there, done that, very 80's, with a webbing belt hanging down.

Chippy - I flirted briefly with a pair of skinnies, but just couldn't mentally adjust to being so scantily clad around the ankle, especially in Summer when it too hot for boots. It was a relief to surrender to the siren-song of the flare.

MaryAnnSingleton - they were £40.

I know what you mean SC - a draught up your drawers is just the thing
