[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what the barrel leg haters don't get is that I just don't care about showing off my butt in jeans anymore.

For the last 40 years, wearing jeans that fit closely enough to show off your butt was the fashion, and I definitely participated in it. I have a good butt. Even now, I can put on an old pair of bootcut or skinny jeans and think "yes, my butt looks good in these."

I just don't care. My butt also looks good in leggings or joggers, which are more comfortable than tight jeans, so if I want to show off my butt, I can wear those. But when I'm wearing jeans or more formal pants, I am loving the looser, less body-hugging styles, which I think look cool and relaxed with the benefit of being so much more comfortable. I'm in my 40s. I'm married. I'm not on the dating market and most days my goal is not "sexy" it's "pulled together, smart, fashionable."

I do not care that you can no longer see my butt in these jeans. I already know what it looks like.[/quote]

This isn't about your butt.  It's the shape of the legs.  I totally understand wanting a looser, more relaxed pair of jeans as opposed to tight jeans (skinnies are the WORST).  But why the barrel cut?  Why not just a relaxed leg?  Make it make sense.[/quote]

I’m small. Short- 5’3 wear a 24” jean. I’m built like a boy- narrow hips - which means lmy waist /hip ratio is off. the barrel jean gives me the appearance of hips and draws attention then to my waist in a way other pants don’t. I love straight leg and I love high rise and I love all kinds of jeans but the hatred for these jeans is bizarre. With a cropped sweater (cropped on most people is waist length on me),or a tiny tee  they create a very feminine, cute shape.

You might not have the body type for them and that’s okay/ but darn some of y’all need to touch grass on this subject. [/quote]

I also have a very straight up and down shape and am on the small side and love barrel jeans. I am not forcing anyone else to wear them, but they look great on me! People saying they are ugly are just being bitter, I think.[/quote]
