i may be having a mid life crisis

i went to topshop and tried on the jeans and the shop girl almost convinced me to get them

i am 38
i remember these jeans from the first time around

thing is i can't wear ordinary skinnies, they look bad on me, and i can't find any of my usual boyfriend jeans that i like
i think the andie ones looked ok

come and be blunt with me

and tell me what shoes and tops and things go with them if i buy them

anyone got them / tried them?

Is it these?
I think they look really nice. I think you would need more fitted tops to go with them as they are loose fitting. Flat shoes maybe ballet shoes or gladiator sandals?

oh GOD i saw a dad in elasticated botom trews today

Coderooo · 25/05/2010 21:16

liek those - very 1989 arent they

CoupleofKooks · 25/05/2010 21:17

yes those are the ones
i think shorter tops look better maybe, not sure if my stomach is up to it post ds2
do you think flat mary jane type shoes or converse type would be ok?

so how far up are you meant to roll the jeans
they are just skimming ankle bone on me
i have seen people wearing longer than that and people with them rolled up more
i am clueless
they look good on men don't you think?

I have them. I'm 37. They seem to go ok with most things.

autodidact · 25/05/2010 21:25

(I have the Andie jeans, not the elastic bottomed things)

cyb · 25/05/2010 21:34

roll up to about 6 inches above ankle (i'm tall btw)

I wear glads and wedges and shoe boots and all manner of simple tops

CoupleofKooks · 25/05/2010 21:35

oh i am so confused who is talking about elastic bottoms and who is talking about pegged doodahs
cod i meant men look good in the pegged things (is that what they are called? i feel like i woke up and it's the future)

cyb what do you wear with your elastic things? is it the long black tapered ones? i tried the crop ones but they are dreadful on me

OP posts:
CoupleofKooks · 25/05/2010 21:35

6 inches? REALLY?
girl in topshop (was proper Young Person) said just above ankle bone

OP posts:
cyb · 25/05/2010 21:36

my elastic things are just under the knee

I love them

soo flatering

wear with same shoes as below

CoupleofKooks · 25/05/2010 21:36

i want to see pictures
is there a beginners website for this

OP posts:
CoupleofKooks · 25/05/2010 21:37

oh the under the knee ones didn't do it for me
there are some which are ankle length and they are such a nice shape
i was amazed (or deluded, i was having one of those rare days where you think everything looks fab on )

I like those jeans.

I roll up my jeans/chinos to just above ankle bone.

cyb · 25/05/2010 21:41

my new look ones are a less polished version of these

CoupleofKooks · 25/05/2010 21:49
