Plus Topshop is kack and skinny jeans are mingoid for anyone over 20 (and they are not that great on anyone under 20 IMHO)

only people who were children in the 80's can get away wth retro

othrwise the rst of us have to be very careful it doesn't look sad

.....listens to bon jovi

I used to wear my snow wash jeans with a massive black t-shirt tucked into them so the gopping patterned waist band was on show - the t-shirt would billow over the top of it. I also used to don them with big t shirt and paisley waistcoat (boak)

I like those topshop ones.
The second link.
A lot actually, I'm still a bit chunky from DS2 but my legs are a decent length so don't look too bad in skinnies, I wouldn't wear any other cut though, they'd make me look huge.

Mehgalegs I bet you looked amazing - was bf suitably impressed?

WilfSell · 19/05/2008 16:10

What and look like an East German mechanic circa 1986 - no thanks.

largeginandtonic · 19/05/2008 16:17

I couldnt do it, too fat. They are so unflattering on anything but a stick.

Who said about the shoes never matching? That is so true.

cocolepew · 19/05/2008 16:18

Yes I bought pale, blue skinnies, I like to wear them turned up, a la Doris Day. I posted a few weeks ag, worried I had committed a fashion faux pas, but obviously I'm fashion forward .

VictorianSqualor · 19/05/2008 16:19

Actually, yeah, shoes, wha shoes should we be wearing with these jeans Oh Codess of Fashion?
Hmm?

I like pale denim, but not quite that pale.

I like this colour of denim instead of the really pale 80's kind

Yes you can Cod

Some lovely high heeled sandals, a tunic top and a low slung belt look lovely over flared jeans
