I am not going to wear flares… what style of jeans are not dated?

[Amberamethyst]

I keep telling myself skinny is a classic style but apparently people wouldn’t be seen dead in them (according to a work colleague)

I like them 🙁🙁🙁

Are slim jeans a slightly more modern style.

what can I wear that’ll work with boots and trainers?

I wear what suits me, not what fashion says. Skinnies all the way.

Barrel leg for me this year , though I have not abandoned my skinnies or my Spanx leggings yet

I look awful in Barrel or Mom jeans. I think they suit more pear shaped people with curvy hips and a smaller waist. I’m a bit straight up and down but do have slim legs.

The problem is the trend is for a baggy bottom half and a cropped/fitted top half which I hate as. Nobody needs to see my tummy. I used to love skinnies with a baggier/longer jumper and boots.

I wear leggings a lot now as they seem acceptable and my job is fitness so that’s my work outfit.

I have a pair of flares which I love for the summer with a wedge or sandal. I then live in a pair of slim fit, mid rise as high rise so not work for me.

It’s a bit easier in summer as the slightly more sloughs jeans work well with sandals and a fitted t-shirt. I just look scruffy if I wear baggy jeans and trainers and my puffer!

Wondering about cargo trousers for summer too.

So am I.

I bought some good cotton cargos from M&S last summer, in dark blue and a sort of pale khaki.
Really good, wore them a lot.

A lot of the jeans shown in magazines are wide leg and a swishy. So they are very soft denim. Jeans have changed this year and look expensive. Not a skinny in sight in fashion mags I’ve seen. Way more expensive looking. Even denim bags are big news. Pair with a fitted jacket and top and it’s easy. So even 60 year olds can do this look. I think it’s younger people who cling to skinnies. My jeans in the 70s would be utterly on trend now!

Thanks - I’ll have a look at M&S!

My jeans in the 70s were rock hard, @TizerorFizz ! I think the denim was so hard and thick they could have stood up by themselves 😊
I prefer my combats at the moment.
