I'm fine with skinny, but I also wear the super slouchy 'boyfriend' cut with my Converese sneaks...makes me look young and rebellious even in my mid (cough cough) 30's

Did you feel like one of Robin's minstrels?

Ken is by request only.





But to keep this on topic, I'm wearing straight-legs at the moment because I'm on the fence about it all.

JustErin said:

There are jeans like that--Apple Bottoms

All the hip-hop girls wear them.

I have the same problem. Small waist,big booty. With some jeans,the gapping in the back is so huge,I can store snacks back there.
I've never tried on Applebottoms,I dont like the apple on the pocket.

I usually wear Levi's. I have a pair of Baby Phat boot cut and they are perfect.
I hear 7 for all Mankind,Silver Jeans & American Eagle Outfitters jeans solve the gapping problem and contour the waist.
Calvin Klein and guess are good too.

I'm not a hip hop girl and I don't like all blinged out jeans but these are hot.



But I wonder if they are really cut the way I need them?

Ken has a record and the adulation of millions and I'M a completely unknown musician!!

Actually straight leg jeans look nice on some women. I can't do it myself, maybe if I was onstage, but then they feel a bit, uh, restrictive when I move. Actually tights would be very comfortable, but not tight jeans.

Maybe you just need a new haircut and leisure suit.

I like straight legs on guys. They remind of the early 80s.

(Yeah I just finished watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High about an hour ago. )

minneapolisgenius said:

hell yeah! they are very 80's!

Bootcut 4 me.
I have a big butt, and I'm only 5'2". Bootcut makes me look taller and slimmer. Skinny jeans make me look like I borrowed the jeans from someone-(the waist gaps).

Bootcut's not "out". The thing with jeans is, U wear what looks good on U....

YUP, BOOT CUT

Depends on the corresponding ass.

slim leg, hands down

Boot cut.

Slim in the thigh best compliments the line of my body, but more room in the calf down to the ankle feels better (I've got muscular calves) and falls better over my shoe.

slim, straight, and raw, just like me.

I usually go for a boot cut or slight flare, with at least 2 inch heels ALWAYS. I could probably pull off a skinny leg pant, but I don't think I could pull off the overall look. Even though I'm not a preppy, I have a non-descript appearance that would make me look like a poser if I tried to dress all hipster (e.g. skinny leg).

I'm far from a fashionista but you heard it here first---bell bottoms are going to be in for fall. Can't wait to rock some bell bottoms!

Yeah, high-waisted jeans are coming back in very soon. I'm not sure how I feel about that. You can end up looking like you're wearing Mom Jeans.

I think I am going to have to get a new pair of jeans soon, my old ones are soon threadbare

will have to try on all the styles to see what suits me

Boot cut are flattering, but I threw out all my skinny jeans when boot cuts came in, and damn, I wish I hadn't. I can't find a decent pair of skinny jeans that fit me these days.

MissMe said:

I plan on going jeans shopping soon, and I am really dreading it. It takes me WEEKS (I'm not even kidding) to find just one pair of jeans that fit me.

I end up crying in the dressing room usually.

minneapolisgenius said:

Oh I know how you feel. But the ones I threw out fit me perfectly all over. The jeans around today are guaranteed to gape, or fall off your ass, and the waist is too big, or they stretch too much, or they are too tight in the wrong places, I just can't wear them.

Do jean manufacturers not realise women have HIPS?

minneapolisgenius said:

I can only afford the ones at K-Mart or Savers

ZombieKitten said:

I have to splurge on jeans because otherwise they REALLY won't fit me if I get cheaper ones.

MissMe said:

See my problem is that I HAVE no hips. I'm just straight up and down and then things are all gaping for me as well. And also too tights in places.

I know there are places online that you can get custom-made jeans made specifically to your measurments, but it's really expensive though.

minneapolisgenius said:

what about guys jeans? or do they end up too wide in the thigh?

ZombieKitten said:

I've never tried them.

And I've never had the problem with jeans being too wide in the thigh. They're always too tight if anything. I have a weird body.

Skinny Jeans? Fashion, er, schmashion.

Bootcut, baby.

Drainpipe jeans, bring back haunting memores of the 80's lack of fashion.

Boot cut or wider no exceptions!
