Really liked the fit and Dd asked why I’d bought tiger stripe crotch jeans? It’s put me off them now! 🙈

Those jeans look like normal jeans! They look good! Wear them!

FatFuck · 17/09/2024 20:27

Most jeans have these. My sister referred to it once as “the pussys got whiskers” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ahhh willy whiskers we call them! Many jeans have them, some more pronounced than others. Those don't look too bad but only you will know if you will forever be conscious of them now she's pointed them out.

"Tiger stripe crotch jeans"😂That is so the kind of remark my OH, a self-confessed fashion-free zone, would make!

MoveItOnUp · 17/09/2024 20:54

I can't see what's wrong with them!

NobbyNeighbour · 17/09/2024 20:56

Must have been in full tiger mode today as I got these in Next as well 😁

Creating "whiskers" as part of the manufacturing process apparently dates back to at least 2003:

I used to love my Lee jeans in the early 2000s and they always had a stripe effect there.

Scorchio84 · 17/09/2024 21:15

I live in jeans, WTF is this?

MaidOfAle · 17/09/2024 21:15

I concur with DD. I want my jeans solidly evenly coloured when I buy them, not looking like I've had them for five years.

BobbyBiscuits · 17/09/2024 21:18

I thought it was just creasing, but that wouldn't happen on the model so slim. It is a bit weird now you've said it. Apart from that it looks good.
But I love the top and jacket on that pic.

JustDeserts · 17/09/2024 21:18

They're pussy's whiskers.

NEVER allow others to dictate your individuality and style. Words of my MIL 50 years ago and I haven't. I bought similar today and a couple of short cropped sweatshirts to go with them. Worn with my adidas trainers I feel great and I don't give a darn what people think. So, be yourself and be confident.

Theyhadalovelytime · 17/09/2024 21:19

How have I got my age and not know these were a thing 😖

NoEscapingMe · 17/09/2024 21:22

One of my dds does this. Buy a nice dress and she drills me on it. Different tastes. Embrace the jeans haha. Bloody kids eh!

Sally543 · 17/09/2024 21:26

I like them and struggle getting jeans long enough so I’ve just ordered a pair . Thanks for the link 😄😄

NobbyNeighbour · 17/09/2024 18:02

My only other slight issue is they’re about an inch too long even in petite for short arse me.

Get your sewing machine out!

I’m hoping with some higher trainers they’ll be ok. If not there’s an amazing woman in the village who can alter them.

Go and find a picture of her wearing something ridiculous as a child when she was going through ‘a phase’ and have a giggle at that. My mum likes to laugh at one of me with those ridiculous butterfly hair clips that moved that I was obsessed with. Kids ehh 🤣🤣🤣
FWIW I like the jeans.

if they don’t shrink, and you love them, I’d pay to get them taken up professionally. I struggle with jeans length too!

ForGreyKoala · 17/09/2024 22:20

Your DD must have been living under a rock! There are plenty of jeans with the same marks.

CutthroatDruTheViolent · 17/09/2024 22:25

I'm frankly astonished she's never noticed this before - as someone posted it's called "whiskering" and is totally normal! Maybe it's more noticeable in person, but tbh it just looks like they're well-loved jeans.

Hillsmakeyoustrong · 17/09/2024 22:39

Love them! Are they true to size?

mummybear2104 · 17/09/2024 23:10

I'm 46 and bought these last week lovely pair of jeans, great fit and comfortable. Far better than my similar Zara ones

Smallsalt · 18/09/2024 00:25

I just hate baggy jeans. I can't help it!
I know they are in fashion but god, they aren't flattering.
