Only people under a size 12 without a fat arse look good in jeans. Fact of life.

I disagree cornsilk,dark denim smartish jeans can look good with heels on anyone.

Americans wear awful jeans though

But isn't that like just wearing trousers made out of denim?

well yes

about the water myth-so all those models who sya their secret is drinking 50 gallons of water a day are talking shite...tis only to stpo them eating

Great. So she tells you what to wear if you are below 5 4 and what to wear if you are taller than 5 4. But what if you are 5 4 on the nose - which way am I supposed to go?

princessmel · 20/03/2008 11:54

I wear jeans A lot. I like those links, the ladies look WAY better after.

cornsilk · 20/03/2008 11:54

Oh yes no arse - FIL wears jeans like that. ewwww! I maintain that jeans don't look good on a fat arse. Trousers are better. And the dark colour and high heels surely is to draw attention away from the shape of the jeans?

brimfull · 20/03/2008 11:57

bozza- depends on the proportion of you legs,if they're long or avg compared to your body then bootlegs fine I guess

I'm 5ft4 asw ell and wear bootlegs but don't suit wide legs

bozza · 20/03/2008 11:59

Legs not particularly long. TBH I wear both styles. Really need some new jeans.

Anna8888 · 20/03/2008 12:04

Jeans a complete no-no in my current life.

cornsilk · 20/03/2008 12:12

do you have a fat arse Anna?

No, arse quite reasonable and attractive proportions though it could do with a bit of TLC before being paraded in the new swimsuit I bought yesterday.

No... my partner thinks jeans on women are for les sépharardes... complicated...

motherinferior · 20/03/2008 12:27

Sephardi Jews? Why complicated?

I have to say I pay fairly minimal attention to my partner's views on clothes, though. And frequently encase my size 10 arse in a pair of jeans.

Anna8888 · 20/03/2008 12:29

Complicated because the dos and don'ts of Ashkenazy versus Sephardi culture are a complete minefield IMO . I mean - jeans??????????

motherinferior · 20/03/2008 12:30

Yes, I see what you mean.

I'd still ignore him, though, I find the male view on clothing not very constructive

bozza · 20/03/2008 12:31

But you are an English woman so it is your cultural perogative to wear jeans.
