Is it a bit dated to turn up skinny jeans?

[Passionfruit91]

I bought a pair of skinny jeans , they fit great but are a bit too long. Just wondering would it look stupid if I just turned them up. I feel like it might look a bit naff or dated.

Skinnies are already back. Wear them!

I think it depends on the look you are going for (and the footwear)... Skinny jeans, DMs and a band Tshirt is pretty timeless. But pairing skinny jeans with current style trainers or tops might spoil the look.

@PrincessHoneysuckleTotally agree! For me these are the perfect bridge between my skinnies and wide legs. I think wide legs, barrel etc just don’t suit my shape and I feel short and dumpy in them, whereas the skinny flares give me some definition at the hips. Loving M and S Magic Slim Flares atm and have just ordered some flared jeggings to try.

I just bought some new skinny jeans from Levi and have been getting lots of compliments!

Wear what you like🤷‍♀️

I also wouldn’t be taking fashion advice from the generation who brought back the mullet 😅

Meow!

This question comes up quite a bit saying skinny jeans are out, last time I made a real effort when I was out and about to see what different age women were wearing, and you know what, all ages were wearing skinny jeans, jeggings and leggings. I saw quite a few of the very young women in skinnies and leggings.

Some were very large, some not, some very slim women too but no one appeared to be one bit bothered by whether they were "in fashion" or not.

Wear what you like in the jeans world, if YOU like it and it's comfortable, who cares what anyone else thinks.

I'm a jeggings person but I do have a couple of pairs of straight leg jeans too.

You know what the “ Wear what you like “ brigade have become a slight scourge on this board. It goes without saying that anyone can wear what they like and I’m a big advocate for developing a personal style. If you ask the question “ is this a dated look” on here please don’t get offended if posters respond to the question. In my corner of the south east it’s a dated look. My sister wears skinny jeans and she is an attractive person who gives zero shits about fashion. She looks nice when she wears them but she does look dated. I rarely see anyone wear them locally and I dare say there is someone right now in East London looking immense in a pair but broadly speaking I’m not seeing them worn with any stylistic flare. Other regions may vary.

Who on earth is saying they are dated???It’s just some ‘trends’ are more in at the moment! They are still being sold in the shops and a decent pair can look fine.
I’ve seen some horrors that some people post on this site so as far as I’m concerned we are living in a day and age where I feel you are free to wear whatever the hell you like.
You go right ahead OP and wear your jeans. You will look fab!

Not everyone feels the need to copy the style of others like a sheep. I find it a bit sad that people feel the need to buy into trends just because some arbitrary fashion rules tell them to. I love the way my legs and backside look in skinny jeans, I also find them really practical.

I cut the bottoms of most of my trousers.
I really dont care what others think either.

I think some people are missing the point a bit, the OP asked the question are they dated & yes they are. Of course she can still wear them if she wants but it is a dated look.

Well skinnies was copying the trend of skinnies… just means you copy some trends and not others.

I think they can be classed as just a classic jeans look now. I do think the baggy jeans look is so.common now everyone looks the same

crop them to ankle grazer or summer capri style and they'll be fashionable again

Nope. I wear them because they are comfortable, practical and flattering. A logical choice rather than a fashion choice.

I love the mullet and I was there to love it first time around

😂

Agree I would cut them off and have slightly frayed ends rather than turn them up. Especially for summer

I'm in my 40s, have lived in skinny jeans my whole life. I bought a pair of them and a pair of slim ankle grazer jeans yesterday, the ankle grazer ones do nothing for me so they're going back but do like the skinny jeans, can't be bothered with having to get them altered though

fitted round the hips and upper leg, then moving to a wide shape but not too wide, and it’s just a hugely flattering look.

Isn't that just another way of saying "bootcut"?

Do you not have a sewing machine?

I don’t think I have ever seen anyone turn up skinny jeans. Aren’t they just wrinkled at the ankles if too long?

Sounds like this pair might be way too long?

Most people don’t
