I love clothes, but I refuse to wear a trend for a trend’s sake. All I know is that I’m sick of super-skinny jeans with low waists. For me, someone with a narrow waist and hips slightly wider than my thighs (isn’t that natural for most women?), it’s hard to find a truly flattering fit. Also, if at all possible, I like to avoid the walking-pelvis-on-two-toothpicks look.
Bleh. I think the style in general is getting tired. My ideal jean is one that has very narrow legs but isn’t completely form
fitting, like these dreaded "jeggings:”
I realize skinny styles are to be worn with tunics, but (er, butt?) seriously, can we leave just a wee bit to the imagination? I think we’ve rehashed the 80s to death at this point. Let’s move on, shall we?
There is much talk about the baggy pants coming back according to fashion editors out there, but I haven’t seen much of that yet. As an experiment, I recently pulled out a dated pair of boot cut Joe’s Jeans. They fit well in the waist, but the bellbottom is not so hot. So I loosely pegged them above the ankle. And, wouldn’t you know, they looked really cute that way. I haven’t pegged my jeans since the seventh grade. Guess I’m on board for “boyfriend” look.
Try it: you might like it.
