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.

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.

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.

Nope, that ain't it. They're just plain ugly.

#Facts.

But thank you for wearing them. You all make me look at least 10x better without even trying 🤭

This. You don't have to love them and you definitely don't have to wear them, but this the direction jeans are going in.

What's funny is the people screaming about them now and clinging to skinny jeans will be wearing barrel jeans and dad jeans in 10 years when fashion has moved on.

That's how this works.

People have posted over and over that there is a HUGE middle ground between (ugly) barrel jeans and (ugly) skinny jeans. Why can't you acknowledge that?

Because I don't think barrel jeans are ugly. Duh.

The part about the middle ground in between the two extremes. Duh.
