Boot leg jeans

What do you think of them? This would be second time round for me. Somehow they feel old fashioned but maybe that’s just my perception because they remind me of another era.

Are they naff?

They are the most flattering for apple shapes, by providing top-bottom balance, so if you are anything like me with small torso, normal legs and a belly, enjoy them.

I searched for them desperately in the skinny era and I live in the absolute terror they might disappear again 😅

Get some Eva from.ma and s. They're cheap but good and you can try them.out. I like them

I bought some recently. I don't really do jeans, most of the wide leg ones swamp me and I didn't want skinny. I haven't worn them yet, like you I remember them from my youth. Might try them today and see how I get on. I've lived in leggings and joggers for about ten years!

I wear them because they are definitely the most flattering on my short dumpy legs out of all the new jeans shapes. They lengthen the look of my legs and a dark pair is quite dressy.
I prefer the look of straight or wide leg jeans but prefer to go with what suits me . They are definitely not as old fashioned as skinnies

I'm walking into work now wearing them. I didn't know they were out of fashion and were now coming back in. 😂

I quite like them but then I like a lot of jeans shapes and enjoy being able to switch depending on my mood and also the weather. If I never wore anything in a style I'd worn before then I'd never get dressed.

I find ghem incredibly flattering. Im pear shaped with long legs.

Bootcut and flare are really flattering on me so I’m happy to wear them for the second time around.

Another fan of M&S Eva

I suddenly had this feeling I was looking really frumpy but I’m sticking with it today.

I’ve worn them for years. I like them, they suit my body shape. Couldn’t care less if I’m “supposed” to be wearing other styles…..
