What style jeans are you currently wearing/liking?

[WearsblackLoveschocolateAvoidspeople]

I haven’t worn jeans in a while but I am in the process of smartening up my wardrobe and moving away from my beloved black as I wear the colour far too much (hence username!).

However, there are so many different styles around these days I’m not sure what’s nice and flattering for my age and body shape?

I’m 51 and like to wear fairly current clothing without looking like I’m trying to dress like my teen dd. I see extra baggy jeans are in but that’s a no fit me. I’m 5ft 5, a size 10 with slim arms and legs and starting to get a bit of a peri belly!

For autumn I like the idea of wearing more smart tees/shirts with a blazer, flats or trainers and a nice flattering pair of jeans.

Oh and high waisted to suck the peri belly in!

Apparently skinny jeans are back in for Autumn..

So black skinnies, a blouse/t-shirt, oversized blazer and ballerina pumps or loafers.

I like balloon leg jeans or mom jeans

TBH its probably going to depend on the weather.
Mom jeans or skinnies if its rainy and wide legged or bootleg if its dry!
I prefer wider legged jeans (with a more fitted top) but I'll wear anything.

I wear both skinny jeans and mom/looser jeans.
Apparently skinny jeans have been “over” for years, but I’ve never stopped wearing them.

I see teen girls and younger women wearing very baggy jeans and think they look amazing, but wouldn’t be for me

I currently have my eyes on these.

That’s sounds right up my street.

Sainsburys barrel jeans. Absolutely love them
Also can't give up my skinnies

Zara marine jeans will always be most flattering for me!

Also like the Levi ribcage straight jeans.

I've lived in my Free People Osaka jeans this summer.

I've got the M&S high waisted wide leg cargo jeans and the M&S high waisted smart wide leg jeans both in the really dark wash. And I feel super smart and put together in them.

I wear them with a shirt or t-shirt and a blazer and either trainers or loafers. So pretty much the look you are going for. (I'm 57)

I also have the Other Stories flared jeans with the front patch pocket which I've had for a few years. They're probably not the height of fashion anymore but I absolutely love them. I think they're really flattering. M&S again do very similar ones - patch pocket flare high waisted jeans.

Still in the trusty skinnies because they go with everything. Tried several other styles recently and I just feel super frumpy. Bootcut jeans don't seem to be the same style they were a few decades ago, they are way too flared now.

Have tried several times to go into a straight leg jean but they just scream boring to me. Skinnies all the way. I have great legs so why not.

My jeans are all Levi’s, and I like 90s 501 (straight but loose), Baggy Dad (similar but looser), or balloon leg (high waist, baggy leg). I have Levi’s 80s Mom jeans from a few years back which I love because they are super soft and comfy, but the narrower leg feels a bit dated now.

I never liked skinnies and haven’t worn them in years - I always looked awful in them being very pear shaped. I don’t like anything cropped or ankle grazing now (on me).

Wide leg, barrel leg and mom. My favourite are the wide leg though, going to get a black pair for winter. I loved flare/bootcut back before skinny jeans came in but I can't get on with them now, as much as I want to.

I finally found a pair of wide leg jeans l liked (in Sainsburys having tried all brands/price points) and that led to me buying some shorter T shirts and some cropped jackets and I have been feeling much more current than when I was still in my skinnies

I usually go for a mom jean, my favourite are New Look Tori Jeans.

These from Zara. I have them in 3 different colours and they are so comfy! At first I thought you would need to wear them with a fitted top with them being wide legged but they actually work really well with an oversized t-shirt or shirt!

Zara Wide Legged Jeans

I wear The Lilly Slim jeans from M & S. I would say they are very slim though, probably more like skinny jeans though and I have very skinny legs. I was 5ft 6in but probably more like 5ft 5 in now and the regular length is good. Also they are very comfortable and reasonably priced and come in lots of colours.

My current favourites are all Levis: some 501s, some ankle length Ribcage Straightleg (a bit narrower in the leg than the 501s but not skinny) and some flares - sorry can't remember the name. I also still like my M&S widelegs, Uniqlo curve leg and Jil Sander for Uniqlo straightleg.

Looking back, I can't believe I used to stick to the same style for years on end. What was I thinking!

I like a classic straight leg. Levi’s 501, Ribcage and Wedgies for me.

In the winter, what would you wear for footwear with those?

Gap Long and Lean were always my favourites and was gutted when they discontinued them.

Currently liking Lee jeans. Wide leg, Carol and Stella shorts.

Probably just my stan smith trainers.

I walk everywhere and my feet would just get too wet and muddy in Stans or Converse - I can never seem to find boots that look good with wide leg jeans.

I like wide leg jeans which are high waisted and fitted around the top, so not exactly "baggy" like a lot of teenagers are wearing.

I also like flared jeans, especially for the summer.
