Skinny jeans/jeggings are not fashionable anymore? 😱 I was today years old 👵

I literally live in jeggings. I have a pear shape that extends to my knees so baggy trousers never look right because they're tight on my knees.

I think my real question is, what are we wearing that supposedly looks good now?? Is there anyone on insta/tiktock/YouTube that is plus size that I can follow for tips? UK based. Incognito because I am so embarrassed!🤦‍♀️ Someone said that if you see someone in skinny jeans you know they're in their late 30s and up because it's old fashioned 💀😭

My ten year old daughter recently approved a pair of jeans I bought because my skinny jeans are “cringe.” They are from Torrid and I think they’re called bombshell flare or something along those lines. I wore jeans like these in middle school so I felt weird but she said they’re great

Whaaaaaaa?! I’m glad my kids are too young to know whether I’m cool or not. This is too much!!

Funny thing is it'll probably be back in fashion at some point

@Stacey it will be! Fashion flows in 20-30 year cycles. The wide leg jeans that are popular now were popular back in the early '00s 🙃

I prefer straight leg, I'm also pear shaped and skinny jeans just hurt my legs after too long now 🙈🤣

Excatly my point it all comes back around any way so if you happy with it and it suits you then go for it anyway kids always comment on your clothes and your never cool to them.

At 35 years old I am defo a millennial skinny jeans collector 🤣 I haven't worn mine for years but I am keeping hold of them cos it's only a matter of time til they are back. Mom style jeans are my faves and I also have a new pair of wide leg jeans, I think these are flattering on a lot of body types.
Also wide, casual trousers are popular too, really comfy and you can wear with a nice t-shirt!

I don't care lol I wear skinny jeans all the time 🤣🤣 they suit me way more than baggy jeans!

I don't like baggy jeans on me either wide legs just don't look right on me

I agree with the recommendation for Next high waist wide leg jeans, I wear mine all the time and was a former skinny jeans wearer

I love a skinny jeans and baggy top, baggy jeans make me look wider because I'm bottom heavy, so I have to size up.

Be comfortable

Well that sounds about right coz I’m nearly 40 and still rocking my skinny jeans, I love mine. I did get some of the fancy trendy new “mum jeans” but they are so un-stretchy every time I bend over to pick something up or put my shoes on w them on, I hear yet another rip in the knee rips that are there lol. And those eat up my butt. Whereas skinny jeans accentuate my butt. So IDC if I’m out of fashion, I love my skinny’s still.

I do high waisted straight and mom jeans. I only have one pair of skinny jeans that actually fit me after the baby 😂 but I still live in leggings and baggy tshirts unless I’m going out somewhere special lol. I’m 37 and I’m not trying to hide it 🤷‍♀️

I love wide leg and straight leg/Mom jeans. They’re much more flattering on me than skinny jeans 🤣

Who cares what the fashion is or what other people think. You do you and wear whateva you like and feel comfy in and let the narrow minded ppl think and wear what they like. I wear my own fashion always have and always will

I love this and agree with you 100%
