Have skinny jeans had their day

I've thus far avoided skinny jeans on the basis that I thought they'd make my bum look even more mahoosive than I already am, but with the snow and DS having to wear my wellies as he refuses to own some , I tucked my jeans into my normal boots and got some surprising compliments.

So should I get some skinny jeans or am I (as usual) years behind a trend and get into it just as its on its way out?

And if so what (cheap) ones should I be buying? Am tall 18.

fuck me I hope so!

hang on, what I mean to say is ... I could do with them being over so that I don't constantly have to be "out of fasion" in the jean department as I look hideous in them. You, however may well look lovely.

It's been a long day

oh i do hope not. i am terrified of these horrid tapered 80s things which are mooted. they make me look like tweedledum.

Yes buy some

Dorothy PErkins are good

I think they will be aroud for a while. But honestly, at an 18 I would give them a miss and try some straight leg jeans instead

If you are wearing them tucked into boots, you can wear thema t any size
I am not skinny but my skinny jeans are really flattering.
Go for t!

just get tapered jeans, not so tight you have to push your foot through them with a lever and a shoe horn.

i think they look good, and 18 months ago i thought they were hideous. i bought a pair in tesco. grey skinny jeans, 9 euro!

I think skinny jeans with tunics will be around for a while yet.

Ronaldinhio · 06/01/2010 19:02

many many people look like parsnips in them..therefore I hope so

Skinnies look great with ankle or knee boots and a long (arse covering) jumper or tunic. Plus, they keep you lovely and warm because they are tight.

Topshop is full of new skinny jeans so I think they are here for another year at least.

I like them, though I'd like them better if I was a stone thinner.

FatGirlThin · 06/01/2010 19:33

I bloody hope so. I have legs for radio.

snowmummy · 06/01/2010 19:54

I think they'll be around for ages, as skinnies and knee boots are a fashion staple in the winter months.

If you want to wear them with knee boots, then go for skinny and a top that covers your bum.
