Skinny jeans

[MissJeanBrodiesprime]

There may be lots of threads about this already but I couldn’t find any… can anyone explain what is so awful about skinny jeans? They are all I have in my wardrobe plus one pair of old bootcut. I know they’re well out of fashion now and I get disdainful comments from my teen DD’s. They’re so comfy and easy and can look really smart with heels and I’m really hoping they come full circle back in to fashion one day!

Lots of jeans work in the rain though: straight leg or barrel leg are fine. I don't own any mom jeans but I imagine they are too. I don't get this idea that no other style works in bad weather.

I think it depends, I love my straight leg & mom jeans but they are all cropped & some of my straight are just looser skinny's. I also think some of the new jean shapes look best with a heel, I don't like heels in wet weather.
If you think of the 90s grungy baggy top & bottoms that were all over the AW catwalks to me that's quite a hard look to translate, particularly to women who are used to pairing a skinny with a heel & a nice top to go out or like looking smarter. Perhaps we will be embracing the skin tight bodysuit trend for nights out! 🤣

I mean leggings will disappear as a fashion item. So you won’t be able to buy them from M and S or wherever.

They will become functional again.

Skinny jeans really suit me. They lengthen my disproportionately short legs and make me look lean and slim. I feel a bit dated in them but I dislike high waisted (and the more trendy styles all seem incredibly high waisted) and any kind of cropping or roll up makes me look dumpy. I struggle with what shoes to wear with baggier jeans, and feel like a clown. I can’t wear overly fitted tops due to my massive chest. I think it may be time to accept I am incapable of looking in any way fashionable now. I don’t even really like the current looks on teenagers, all looks clumpy and sloppy. Maybe I’ll get used to it though, your eye adjusts.
