Fit really well
None see through
Absolutely love them
Apparently they aren't in fashion tho which is making me question them
Are they that bad ?
I was thinking with sandals and a tee in summer
Just a basic outfit

Wear whatever you want. Its no one else's business. And you should not care what anyone thinks. Ive spend my whole 61 years wearing whatever i want

CaptainCarrot · 15/04/2024 15:24

They're not in fashion, but who cares? Wear what you like.

They are definitely Mary Berry's summer wardrobe to me. I love Mary but no wish to emulate her style.

I love my white skinny’s in the better weather worn with baby blur RL shirt looks so nice and white skinny’s are in

This is just about the most stunning 2010 outfit you could describe.

Yeah, but it only needs a tiny tweak to make it more current- looser cut jeans and an oversized linen/cotton/denim shirt would be great. It’s just unfortunate that the tiny tweak is losing the bit that the OP asked about.

Mimimimi1234 · 15/04/2024 16:43

All neans are in fashion right now. Look at the fashion mags. Every single style is wearable.

VibeOnWithMyGalPals · 15/04/2024 17:47

I like white skinny jeans, but yours look like leggings. I don’t like skintight jeans in any shade.

Remmy123 · 15/04/2024 18:03

White leggings - no

white skinny jeans with an oversized denim shirt or similar - yes

Rude...you think your clever ...white skinny ate defo in depends how you wear them not everyone can guess your one of them they just don't suit 😁

I think slim rather than skinny would be more flattering and look less dated
This https://www.next.co.uk/style/st447408/914348#914348 type of fit.

I would still call them skinny tbh

henlake7 · 15/04/2024 18:55

I feel like you have to be a size 8 or under to pull off white skinny jeans.
but then again at that size you can probably pull off most things!

AnnaDomini · 15/04/2024 19:08

@henlake7 , size 8 means very little. There's quite a difference between a 5'1" size 8 and a 5'8" size 8.

VibeOnWithMyGalPals · 15/04/2024 19:17

Princess Diana used to rock white jeans. I think they were straight more than skinny, though

LeedsMum87 · 15/04/2024 20:23

they are totally in fashion! White jeans never go out of style in the summer. Go for it!!!

@Neverpostagain

Wtf? Do people have a heyday? Is that the same as a sell by date? Are you willing to name someone who looks 'tragic'?
You are being obtuse. I am referring to people who rigidly wear what they wore when they felt at their peak. So you get men in 1980s garb and women wiry makeup they wore in the 1980 that looks peculiar now. Especially when it's now being rocked by someone in their 60/70s

Are they allowed to? Hell yes. Is this what most people want for themselves? No. Because it looks dated and out of keeping with today.
So men in their 60s wearing brown suits with wide ties and lapels and a flared leg wouldn't be something most people would aspire to. If someone is doing it with intention then rock on.

But there is a difference between clinging to your 1980s style 40 years later and following every fleeting jeans trend that the fashion world dictates. 2 years ago we had mom jeans, then cropped, now wide legs. When jeans are some of the most durable item of clothing that exists.

RafaFan · 15/04/2024 22:31

I admire anyone that can wear white trousers (or a white coat). If I try, they get an indelible stain on them in the first five minutes. If you like them, get them. They'll be a nice summer outfit.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 15/04/2024 23:27

I think I must live in the most unfashionable place in the country as the only people I see in flared / wide leg jeans are under 25.

MissSookieStackhouse · 16/04/2024 00:02

I think you look great in them, wear them!

If skinny jeans are so out of fashion, why are the shops still full them? If something is really out of style, shops stop selling them completely, but that’s simply not the case with skinny jeans. Sure, there are wide leg trousers in stores too, and combat trousers and various other styles. It’s about personal choice…Wear what you like and feel comfortable in.

I'm not sure that's a ringing endorsement tbh! 🫣

I absolutely love skinny jeans but do reluctantly recognize that they're somewhat dated now 😞

Exactly skinny jeans are everywhere

To be fair young people are usually more tuned in to fashion trends, so that would make sense.

NojudgementGem · 16/04/2024 08:09

Loose Women did a segment last week saying skinny jeans are making a comeback this year. I don’t know if I trust Loose Women for fashion advice anymore than strangers on Mumsnet though!
They do sound like a classic fit though & if they make you happy just wear them!

So are over inflated lips and thick fringe lashes.
Doesn't mean they are in fashion
