Are you still wearing skinny jeans?

[Itstheimplication]

I know they're supposed to be going out of fashion at the moment but having tried all other styles, including flares which are supposed to look good on my body shape, skinny jeans are the only ones that look half decent.
All my friends have ditched them, and I've noticed lots of other mums have too at nursery pick up etc.
It doesn't overly bother me but I'm curious as to whether people are fully ditching them or still clinging on like me? 😃

Absolutely. They aren't the main fashion item of jeans at the moment but they are still a firm wardrobe staple with all major brands still stocking them as much as any other style. Other styles will come and go but i think the skinny will always remain

I have a slim, boyish figure and am not that tall and the slim or mom jeans make me look awful.

So I’m sticking to skinnies and cropped wide legs (although these will be no good once it gets really cold). I look good in them so why wouldn’t I?

Also, bootcut are a disaster on me and you get soggy bottoms!

I still wear them a lot. I will wear some other styles too but I wear skinnies most.

Flares for me and a pair of cropped wide leg too.

Haven't worn skinnies in about 12 months.

A lot of people are still wearing them though.

I have no intention of ever following trends 🤣

Nope. I can't see myself wearing them ever again.

Skinny jeans calf length boots. T shirt plus knitwear plus Didrikson is my autumn uniform.

Yes, I have flares and mom jeans but skinny’s are just easier, and don’t seem to have gone out of fashion where I live.

No they are all straight or slim

Yes because im the biggest I've ever been and these are all that fit me right now I have bought a pair of mom jeans for if when I've lost some weight. They are ripped though so I like to think it's a small
nod to fashion 😂

I love my skinnies but did branch out when our local GAP store was closing down and bought Barrel, Flare, Cropped Flare. I have enjoyed experimenting but Skinny is so much more practical and easy to style. I found with the high waist wider style that a top would have to be cropped and boxy or quite fitted to balance the silhouette.
Footwear is also problematic in winter when bare white ankles don’t look or feel good. Another problem is keeping hemlines of wider styles dry and clean in winter puddles and public toilets 😬

I'm not, I've never like them, I have varicose veins and they seem to do something to my circulation and give me itchy /twitchy legs. Have a mixture of straight leg, Mom jeans and boot cut which I always loved years ago.

I have one pair of skinny levis that I wear with my wellies for mucking out the horses.

Otherwise, I live in wide-legged trousers, jeans and cords with platform black Nizza or Superga Flatforms.

I'm glad there's a choice in the shops now - I was never a fan of skinnies

No! But I never really did.

I do wear jeans but they're not, and never have been, a wardrobe mainstay.

If I do wear jeans I like flares, wide-leg, or straight with a huge turn-up.

I do wear trousers a lot, but always wide-legged, very occasionally cigarette. I'm an extreme inverted triangle with very broad shoulders. Tall and thin but my armpits are wider than my hips, I have a broad ribcage and narrow hips.

I suit volume on my bottom half.

So I never embraced skinnies.

I used to love bootcuts or flares in the 90s and had pairs that dragged along in puddles. I felt like they balanced my body out. Eventually got used to the skinny jean and like others am now finding it hard to go back to something that seems dated. I have bought some mom jeans and a couple of straight legs as a transition.

Other problem is that while I've always had wide hips and bust, I used to have a slimmer tummy but now have a c section overhang and can't comfortably wear something slim fitting on top. So I can't work out what to wear with something wide legged.

I don't really like skinny jeans as I find them uncomfortable, and I think that they are pretty unflattering on most people.

However I still own a couple of pairs that I occasionally wear as I like to tuck them under boots when it's wet.

I probably won't replace them once they're worn

Still wearing them here tucked into ankle length biker boots. I think they look great in winter with knitwear.
I also have slim leg to wear in autumn, summer and spring.
mom jeans are just awful I think

I used to like skinnies and wore them a lot as they were the easiest to wear with winter boots and footwear. I've always preferred a wider leg or tapered leg though. I'm loving the resurrection of bootleg/flares and wore a lovely pair last night with a small heeled boots just like back in the early 00's.
I only own one pair of skinny jeans now and they are black coated jeans from Hush. My skinny jeans have gradually been phased out of my wardrobe over the last 18 months, not deliberately but just because I have found other styles I much prefer on me.

Yes out of necessity but its rare that I'm in jeans these days.

Since lockdown I've been in elasticated waistbands, stretchy leggings and dresses so jeans in general are hardly ever worn anymore. I have one pair of skinny which I wear when I'm out for a walk that requires sensible boots or wellies. I'm just not a fan of my look in wide legs jeans and oversized top (coat, jumper, whatever) it just makes me soooo much bigger and I'm already self conscious about my size. I dont have the confidence to wear all the cropped tight top half look that is in fashion with loose jeans or bootcut jeans so I end up in baggy top and bottom which makes me look so much bigger.
So I wear skinny for practical reasons as I now live in leggings, skirts, tights and dresses. I can't bear all the tightness and constrictness around my middle anymore!

I am very slim and skinny jeans suit me well. I have them in denim, black and white. Oh and even a red pair somewhere.
I recently bought a ribcage one, and I find them less pleasant to wear. All my skinny jeans are low waist.

Yes I'm still wearing mine - it's easily the shape I like best.

Vogue proclaimed the end of skinnies back in 2015. It's reallt not happening.

Unless you are extremely thin of thigh, adding width below the knee makes legs look solid all the way down (legs are meant to taper, and messing with those natural body proportions cannot be pulled off by anyone other than the skinny)

For the more average bod, the shapes that are likely to work best are ones that follow the body's actual form (no that isn't a synonym for every garment to be tight of close fit!) For jeans that generally means skinny, straight or tapered (used to be called peg shape, now seems to be mom)

Also, as leggings and athletics-type gear doesn't seem to be going anywhere, that's a large proportion of people whose wardrobes will work with natural rather than wide/flared legs. It's also the shape that works best with boots that you want to be seen (often expensive, so worn for several years). People are turning their backs on fast fashion, and (as in the title of this topic) looking to their personal style instead

But the internet has changed shopping. You will find the style you like (unlike the 1990s when skinnies could not be bought).

Bootcuts never vanished btw in the 00s. Catalogues like Damart offered then throughout.

I thought you’d have to prise my skinny jeans off me but I bought a couple of wide leg trousers and I have not looked back. I’d even go as far to say that skinnies look a bit naff and dated now.

anything but skinnies!

Yep still love mine. They make my bum and legs look good and that I'm not giving up.

In the summer I switch to mom jeans, but they're all a little cropped so make for chilly ankles in the winter, not suitable.

I also have straight leg jeans but if I'm wearing a big oversized jumper, they're not proportionate. Straight legs with fitted jumpers, skinny with oversize. Don't do bootleg as it's too reminiscent of me being a teenager.

I like the wide legs high waist style but am short so they involve faffing about with a tailor to take them up, and I cba.

I'm still wearing mine, because I can't justify getting rid of clothes that still fit & aren't worn out. One pair is wearing out though, & I'm losing weight... I much prefer straight leg, & being an hourglass, I absolutely loathe low waisted anything as they all gape hideously or fall down, I need a belt. I've not been able to find a nice affordable pair for many years, hopefully that will change now.

Yes they fit inside wellies and boots which is what I pretty much live in!
