They are unflattering for most and I think people have lost sight of it. I’m old enough to remember the horror people felt when they came in fashion, and I’d assume lots of threads like this.
the reality is very few people look good in them, it’s just they are used to the look.
most people look like they have turnip legs, or are cut off at the ankle, few wear really good ones, lower end ones with too much stretch are the worst, and people pour themselves into them, thinking it makes them look smaller, or they are a smaller size, they don’t.
but I do think it’s important to wear what you feel comfortable in. But I’m not sure pretending they are on trend is really going to be believable . They simply aren’t.
It doesn’t mean people aren’t still wearing them, Christ go into London turn round three times and you will see everything from flesh coloured leggings, one piece body suits, to oversized massive jeans. Just as someone wears them doesn’t mean it’s current.
personalky I’m no more going out in skinny jeans than I am in a pair of flesh coloured leggings, it took a long time for everyone to move to skinnies, with lots of horror expressed a long the way, and people clinging onto their boot cuts for dear life, and I think it will be a long time before it swings back to skinnies , at least a decade.
righr now it’s all about fluidity, but enough deviation In style people can find whay works for their bodies, and straight through wide legged, is always more flattering, than a pair of crammed in skinnies cutting uou off at the ankle.
