I'm done with skinny jeans... what style are you wearing?

I don't know what's happened over lockdown (I suspect it's too much comfy loungewear) but I'm not enjoying wearing skinny jeans any more.

I don't feel particularly comfortable in them, and I just feel like I'm "over" them, I feel a bit dated when I'm wearing them.

What style jeans is everyone wearing now, which are your favourites please?!

It’s a good question! I’ve resorted to awful leggings as so comfy and stretchy and really am not very fit to be seen any more.

Looseleaf · 23/03/2021 20:47

Ps slight caveat, I do not belong in the style section even on a good day

itbemay1 · 23/03/2021 20:47

Same here!! Need some jeans inspo!

Littleguggi · 23/03/2021 20:54

Wore my skinny jeans today after months of living in leggings and felt so uncomfortable! Looking for jean inspiration too, not sure I suit the baggy look as I'm only 5ft 1!

CescaNicole · 23/03/2021 20:54

I agree, very much over the skinny jean. I'm on the hunt for a good pair of "Mom", just because they look so comfy!

CescaNicole · 23/03/2021 20:55

"Mom" jeans*

PurpleDaisies · 23/03/2021 20:56

Mom jeans make me look massive. I’ve got a pair of straight jeans that are really flattering.

LunaNorth · 23/03/2021 20:57

Straight leg - MiH Niki are my favourites.
Slim - MiH Paris are slightly cropped with a little kick flare.
Boyfriend style - Hush Agnes are great for summer, vintage denim with a raw edged turn-up.
Straight with a bit of stretch - Levi’s 724.

I still like skinnies too, though!

Sendmetobarbados · 23/03/2021 20:59

I've just bought a pair of these M&S balloon jeans. Surprisingly flattering, and I feel much more up to date than when I wear my old skinnies.

Oooooh! Where from, please? Mum jeans are unflattering on me. And skinny jeans are not comfy and beautifully enhances my hanging belly. And let's not get started with the unpleasant view when crouching! Grin

Mine are just from m and s @LloydColeandtheCoconuts

Sienna straight. They’re cheap, have a little stretch so they’re comfy and the waist isn’t too high. They’re much nicer than the pics on the website!

Thank you Smile

Straight leg and girlfriends jeans for me, when I actually wear jeans. You will have to pry my leggings out of my cold dead hands though Grin

OverTheRubicon · 23/03/2021 21:10

Wide leg, high waist

happytobemrsg · 23/03/2021 21:11

I wear mom jeans (I found the perfect pair & bought them in three colours!). I also bought some bootcut jeans which I want to wear with flat chunky sandals when it’s warmer

happytobemrsg · 23/03/2021 21:13

@OverTheRubicon I love those. What shoes do you wear with them?

ZackaryQuack · 23/03/2021 21:14

I moved back into dungarees during the summer, New Look had a lovely pair with cut off culotte bottoms (had to crack the sewing machine out as I'm 5ft and the were ankle swingers on me)

I'll see if I can find a picture as they dont seem to be on the website anymore.

Chattercino · 23/03/2021 21:14

@happytobemrsg
Ooh, can you share where we can get the perfect pair, please?! Xxx
I'm keen to wear them, but not quite brave enough....

KitchenFairy · 23/03/2021 21:19

The M&S Sienna jeans have potential, I think I'll order a pair to try.

@Sendmetobarbados I quite like those balloon jeans but I'm only 5ft 2 and fear they'd look ridiculous on me. I think Mom/Mum jeans may be the same.

IllNeverLetGoJack · 23/03/2021 21:20

I also have some M&S Siena jeans. They are very nice and comfy too.

OverTheRubicon · 23/03/2021 21:21

[quote happytobemrsg]@OverTheRubicon I love those. What shoes do you wear with them?[/quote]
I'm planning on chunky flat sandals and in the meantime my lace up boots and when it gets too hot for them, probably still my white trainers (maybe not still totally on trend but I'm not going to get rid yet).

They'd look much more flattering with high heels on those of us under 5"8 but heels feel so odd after such a long time at home.

Eesha · 23/03/2021 21:21

I just got the Siena ones and they are definitely straight leg. Returning as i still feel like i cant tuck in

Eesha · 23/03/2021 21:23

llNeverLetGoJack do the Siena ones stretch? Im debating a 14 rather than a 16 which is more comfy though

Eesha · 23/03/2021 21:28

What's the difference between Siena and Sophia M&S jeans?

YanTanTethera123 · 23/03/2021 21:30

@Eesha

What's the difference between Siena and Sophia M&S jeans?
Sophia are higher waisted than Siena, a better fit for me (I have both)
