Skinny jeans

So skinny jeans are out, but they’re all I own. What is the new fashionable style of jeans?

OP posts:

im done with jeans, prefer leggings or cords. So sick of stiff cloyingly clothing and even wider leg jeans still dig and fit close at the hip/waist.

I don't think following trends so closely is that great either, all it does is create waste and screw the environment, so I guess I would wear skinny jeans if I liked them and that's about it!

Having said that, I am happy to look current, but saying something is 'out' is a bit fashion magazine/teenaged and only serves to line the pockets of those who invest heavily in our desperation to be on trend.

Im a party pooper, sorry Grin

I will only wear skinny jeans. I dont care if that's not fashionable as I look ridiculous in other styles

girlmom21 · 22/09/2021 15:48

I'm sticking with skinny jeans too. I think 'fashion' these days tends to look ridiculous.

Bluntness100 · 22/09/2021 15:50

I am sticking with relaxed skinnies or straight. I really can’t stand the other styles, they aren’t flattering. For me it’s more about what flatters than fashion.

AuntieStella · 22/09/2021 15:51

I like skinnies best, and will be continuing to wear them

Sooverthemill · 22/09/2021 18:04

Skinnies are still a round so if you like them, wear them. There are a gazillion styles of jeans out there! You might find another you like just as much ( I'm loving the looser styles myself)

Just don’t wear jeans. They look awful on most people anyway

schmalex · 22/09/2021 18:09

I currently wear either barrel leg (Whistles), straight leg (Zara) or massive baggy 90s ones (also Zara).

Seriously? All jeans look awful on most people?

Another wearing balloon/barrel legs here, and also Levi’s 501s.

I think saying styles other than skinny are not flattering is a bit daft and a very sweeping statement! I’m pear shaped with a very small waist, so the skinny jeans/long top thing never worked for me (and I didn’t wear it) whereas a high waist and a tucked in or slightly cropped top is very flattering. It’s great to have choices!

Speak for yourself.

I went to a large shopping centre today and it's almost like it's a secret that skinnies are out, the shops are still full of them!

uncomfortablydumb53 · 22/09/2021 18:22

I'll always wear skinny's as they're perfect for my shape and small frame

MangoFeverDream · 22/09/2021 18:34

It’s just like, my opinion, man.

They are just not super flattering for most people. Hopefully this decades-long trend will finally die off 😎

Jeans should be left to workmen, where rough fabric and unforgiving lines are okay.

I’ve even known people to relax around the house in them 😱 how could you ever feel comfortable in such garments 🥶

Sooverthemill · 22/09/2021 19:02

@MangoFeverDream I wear jeans almost every day say 300 out of 365 days of the year. They are comfortable: I can bend in them I can run upstairs in them. Most of my jeans are 100% cotton ( a few have 1% elastane). I own around 40 pairs of jeans. You are presumably just trying to stoke an argument!

dementedpixie · 22/09/2021 19:04

I wear jeans just about every day too and find them very comfortable. Maybe you just buy crap jeans!

ShrikeAttack · 22/09/2021 19:36

I'm wearing Frame Le High straight leg, 7 For All Mankind dark denim flares, Raey wide-legged and Me+Em straight leg Italian dark denim with a massive turn-up.

But if you like skinnies, wear skinnies! Loads of people are still wearing them. I don't think anyone will be staring at you in horror.

TheOrigRights · 22/09/2021 19:49

I've had a few compliments on my new skinny flares. My skinnies are fine but I love my new ones.

I am long of leg and lean of body so I guess they suit that body shape.
