[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my gosh this is so easy. Anyone who was wearing skinny jeans is exactly 40 or older![/quote]

Let’s face it, those wide legged pants are a trick the fashion industry is playing on younger women. They are not attractive on most people and are firmly in the category of clothes they will laugh about when they see pictures of themselves decades from now.

I’ll stick with my flattering skinny jeans, thank you very much. I like them, they’re comfortable, and my husband likes the way I look in them. The nice thing about being older is that when you find something that works for you, you have the confidence to stick with it. You no longer need to constantly look for and wear the latest thing, which may or may not work for your particular body. [/quote]

Nah, I’m Gen X and have never thought skinny jeans looked good. They emphasize the difference between the widest and the narrowest part of you. If you have any hips or thighs at all they are not very flattering.[/quote]

+1, skinny jeans as a trend started in the early aughts, and was all about being as thin as possible. Does anyone remember how people wanted their hip bones to be visible above the waist band of their low rise skinnies?

As a Gen Xer, I’ve loved the return to straight leg jeans, which is what we wore in the 90s and is most on trend now. I think some women look good in wide legs, and other need to do a slim straight to look most flattering. But I don’t think skinny jeans are flattering unless you have a model body, or you wear them with sky high heels, which I have no interest in at my age.

The thought of skin tight skinny jeans sounds not only out of fashion but super uncomfortable at this point. I haven’t worn them since pre-Covid and when I tried on one of my old pairs during a recent closet clean out, I hated the feel of denim hugging my entire leg. Skinnies definitely mark you as someone who can’t let go of a trend that is o-v-e-r.[/quote]
