ALL my casual pants are now skinnies. Lately I am really having to put in effort to ensure I wear other pants to work as well. I think its made harder by the realisation that all my work shirts are skirt length, rather than pant length. And all my work skinnies are made from summery thin cotton so are too cold to wear at the moment. Consequently I've had a whole week of wearing dresses and skirts. Grrrr! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-178253 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 03:24:59 +0000 Tanya 178253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I am such a jeans addict that I have and wear them all: skinny, straight, bootcut, flare, trouser, even super high waisted and wide legged. But in the last few years I have grown to really like skinnies. I would say that at the moment it is 50% skinnies/straight and 50% everything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-178250 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 03:22:46 +0000 florida 178250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do still love my bootcuts. I like wearing skinnies, too, but I just haven't found a pair that fits me well yet. My bootcuts are all super-comfy. You look great in them, so by all means, wear often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-178102 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:52:00 +0000 cciele 178102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need my bootcuts to wear with my Converse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-178094 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:17:06 +0000 Kristine 178094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've swung the other way, I don't wear my skinnies as much as I used to. I'm a thin rectangle and they just make me feel too stick straight. I love the gracefulness of bootcuts, especially for work or dressing up. I wear them with slim, tailored woven shirts. The slim top and wider bottom gives me kind of a 40s menswear feel (at least in my head). I still like skinnies though too, just more for weekends or nights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-178012 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:07:14 +0000 tarzy 178012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not me. I've got big hip and thighs, so bootcuts look best. I do like skinnies tucked into boots, but it's so hard to find a tunic with the right length. I envy all of you who look fab in skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-178008 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:00:34 +0000 Laura 178008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I share your love of skinnies. For some reason, I love the feel of skinny jeans on my calves and ankles. But recently I bought a killer pair of bootcuts that completely rekindled that flame. It's nice to have multiple denim love affairs going at one time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177967 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:57:51 +0000 taylor 177967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an adict too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177963 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:55:43 +0000 Angie 177963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my bootcuts with cowboy boots, pumps and booties too! I'll always wear bootcuts. </p> <p>But skinnies are my go to jeans most of the time. Another addict here! No wide legs for me. I love the look on others, though. It's just that the extra volume around my legs gets in the way of my fast stride when I charge around. And I do charge around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177938 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:00:52 +0000 Lisa 177938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I won’t give up my bootcuts because I like to wear cowboy boots in the fall with them. I also think I look taller when I wear a bootcut with a high heel underneath. I do agree skinnies have their place in a wardrobe though. But my premium denim jeans are bootcuts and my skinnies are Gap so I guess that shows where I stand on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177900 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 13:06:52 +0000 Queen Mum 177900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't abandon boot cuts. As much as I love skinnies and straight legs, boot cuts with a nice heel have such a chic look. After a winter of seeing skinnies everywhere I turned, it was refreshing to see a gal in a nice pair of bootcuts every once in a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177897 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 13:00:13 +0000 Beth 177897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you, Tara! Skinnies and straights are pretty much all I wear now. It took me awhile to embrace bootcuts and wide-legs and I never really loved them. But then again, I'm a child of the 80s:)</p> <p>It's nice to see my feet again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177879 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:16:30 +0000 rute 177879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oohhhh..<br /> wide leg jeans are coming back, I see a lot this summer already!<br /> You'll have to get used to use all kind of jeans! So much fun!<br /> I use my wide leg with fab high heel sandals! They make me feel so sexy and chic! start trying it in small doses.. you'll feel fab too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177854 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:54:49 +0000 puffenstuff 177854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only brought my first pair and already fretting over this too Tara! I think there is a place for them though but those situations fail me right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177852 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:43:51 +0000 Louise 177852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup me too I've hardly worn anything other than skinnies for at least the last 6 months. When I did wear my wide legs my favourite outfit with them was a slim fit knit jumper belted x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177848 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:09:00 +0000 anne 177848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still tend to wear my bootcuts when I am wearing a fitted top. This outfit<br /> <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/?action=view&#038;current=100_8669.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....0_8669.jpg</a> for example would have looked better with bootcuts than the skinnies/jeggings I was wearing.</p> <p>I am certainly not wearing bootcuts as much and like Kate am wearing mine around the house more (my bootcuts are very comfortable). I also don't wear them when it is rainy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177847 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 06:54:50 +0000 Kate 177847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, though I'm not big on skinnies with shoes other than boots or gladiator sandals. I've considered skinny-ing my boot cuts, but haven't gone that far... yet. I only have one pair of non-skinnies that I've worn in the past year (other than on days when I stay around the house), so your post is causing me to reconsider my remaining boot cut jeans...</p> <p>Honestly, I would say don't fight it, and if possible convert some of your jeans into skinnies. I would think about what shoes you wear with bootcut and flare jeans too - I wear my less fab shoes with those jeans, and so they make those jeans feel doubly un-fab. Is it that way for you too? I also used to live in boot cut jeans, so it's a big transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/addicted-to-skinnieswide-legs-and-bootcuts-no-longer-do-it-for-me#post-177845 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 06:19:39 +0000 Tara 177845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's official. I am addicted to skinny jeans and pants. I am wearing wide-leg/flare jeans today, because all ym skinnies are in the wash...and I feel completely unfab!</p> <p>I can't believe it...I used to live in bootcuts and flares...skinnies were a huge step for me...and now I can't go back it seems!</p> <p>Help! Some ideas for styling wide-leg and flared jeans? I don't know...they just make me feel super-casual and shapeless somehow these days...it's so funny how your perceptions change over time...</p> <p>Anyone else out there in my boat? Addicted to skinnies? </p>
