How would you style metallic barrel jeans?

I know I know, people prefer skinnies here!

In an attempt to make my uniform of jeans (or being realistic, track pants) and a jumper more fun and festive I have ordered these jeans to wear at Christmas:

I’m assuming everyone will hate them but I like a baggy thigh 😂

What would you put them with? I’m tall and about a size 14. I thought I was more like a 16/18 but everything I’ve tried on in size 16 lately has been much too big so let’s say 14.

I’m thinking of pairing them with black Clarks wallabees and a black knitted Christmas jumper for going to see the lights and I know they’ll look fine with any T-shirt but I’m hoping for a bit more inspiration. I don’t usually shop at Warehouse, this was an impulse purchase! I like clothes from Folk, Uniqlo, Hush, Toast, Damson Madder.

Pikachuking Why don't you get a Christmas jumper with bells on, to cover up the rustleGrin

😂 or maybe some elf shoes with bells on the toes

DMs or trainers. Plain black t-shirt! Plain black oversized sweater or jumper. You look good op

I like them!

I was going to suggest the black Whistles Annie too! They look great on, good luck running after your toddler - you’ll be the coolest 😂

If they make you happy then all power to you. I’d look like a weather balloon that had been shot down in those!

I’d wear with pointed flats or something more delicate on my feet. And a fitted black top, something like this maybe.
I don’t wear clumpy shoes with my barrel jeans. If wearing trainers they aren’t heavy ones. And balance the volume of the jeans with something more fitted on top.

Yes they would look cool with this and some pointy shoes! Thanks for the idea, I will consider

I wore my blue denim barrel legs today with my red velvet & raspberry suede adidas gazelle flatforms, raspberry socks, black leather belt and a tucked in black knit with gold sequin bow detail as my nod to Christmas for our work gathering today. I felt great, my colleagues may have wondered what on earth I was thinking.

This sounds great, I think my style is quite similar to yours - love to tuck, love a flatform and love a colourful sock!

I love these op. A modern twist in the y2k phenomena!
