Boot cut jeans

[BilboBercow]

Thoughts on these?

I've always worn skinnies. I know lots of people here seem to dislike them but I always found they worked for my shape and they've pretty much been a wardrobe staple.

I've put on a bit of weight over the last year and I'm now a 12-14 on the bottom. I'm pretty sure I'm apple shaped (big bust, fairly broad shouldered and my tummy is my problem area) so apparently I should be wearing boot cut.

I know they appear to be back in shops but are they still a bit naff?

I don’t know but I have a pair in my wardrobe I would like to wear but haven’t for similar reasons, so am lurking hopefully.

Given this is about the fourth thread this week (on different MN boards) where people seem unsure, I think we're not quite there yet. I don't think they do balance out legs, they just make your legs look thigh-sized all the way down. I'm sticking to skinny or straight.
