Very practical indeed to wear with flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1384768 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 07:49:31 +0000 reshet 1384768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My skinnies (both jeans and pants) are essential for long-over-lean outfits. Over the years I have collected lots of beautiful shift dresses, but my climate is usually too cold for them, and I get sick of wearing them over leggings. (Don't get me started on my problem with buying the same lovely but impractical items over and over again...) Pairing them with skinnies looks a bit more put-together, to me, than with leggings. And pairing them with wide trousers would just look weird and baggy. So long may skinnies last, they are central to my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1382489 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 13:13:30 +0000 Anonymous 1382489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my skinnies. They aren't skin tight, but they're close fitting so I can tuck them into my boots. I'm relieved to hear I can still wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1380630 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 04:40:25 +0000 columbine(erin) 1380630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for choices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1380197 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 17:19:01 +0000 Tanya 1380197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in the happy jeans camp as well. I love variety in cuts and colors. Skinnies are incredibly useful, especially in rain and snow, and I am very glad they are not going anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1380191 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 17:11:22 +0000 Lisa 1380191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very happy that there is variety in jeans right now, straight, skinny, bootcut, colors, patterns, jeans have really stepped it up in variety. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1380074 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 13:42:08 +0000 Anonymous 1380074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish that I saw skinnies on the street a bit more relaxed. Yesterday a saw a young woman wearing straight-from-the-hip flowing white trousers and they looked so refreshing. It made me wonder though about the length they should be now...still PPL just about sweeping the ground? These were ankle length to show the shoe but looked too short to my eye for the wide leg opening. Her brown loafers looked frumpy to my eye and ruined the line of the trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1380070 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 13:31:34 +0000 Angie 1380070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lonk live skinnies and straight legs, ladies.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379977 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 06:37:59 +0000 Nicola 1379977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another one glad to see skinnys live on forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379966 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 06:18:55 +0000 Deborah 1379966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I am glad to hear it. I love the silhouette of a skinny or slim straight leg and while I do also like a flare or bootcut, they are definitely not my preference. Skinnies for play time and a slim straight leg for work will keep me happy for a long time to come There is cetainly no shortage of them in our stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379960 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 06:01:46 +0000 Neel 1379960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my jeans in all forms ^_^ Although I reach for the comfort of my bfs the most, I love my skinnies too :). I am sure I would be wearing lot more of my skinnies when the winter arrives. So this is great news , Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379951 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 05:30:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 1379951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I love my relaxed skinnies/slim boyfriends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379949 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 05:19:29 +0000 Adelfa 1379949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie!!! I own some skinnies, but could give them up as supertight ones are not really my cup of tea. However the slim straight has been my favorite silhouette since junior high (early 70s) when we all gave up our bell bottoms for Levis 501s, a really defining style moment for me. I like the silhouette&nbsp;both in denim and dressy fabrications and I really, really, really don't want to give it up. Thank you!</p> <p>Also thanks for explaining that relaxed skinny = slim BF. Finally I understand DD's Paige BF jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379906 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 03:27:49 +0000 Michelle 1379906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to hear it, though not overly surprised. Although I know it's sometimes a fool's errand to apply logic to fashion, it seemed inconceivable that a season that embraces both variety and practicality would cast aside one of the most versatile and popular silhouettes out there. Black cigarette pants and straight-legged jeans are among my wardrobe essentials, so I didn't plan to let them go even if they did fall out of favour. :)</p> <p>Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379886 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 02:31:27 +0000 Lynne 1379886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, your post several years ago on how curvy girls could wear skinnies was an epiphany for me......I had never owned a pair and now they're a wardrobe essential. I have a dark wash, a lighter wash, and a looser fit lighter wash and they're all in constant use. I agree that its great to be able to change between cuts and fits. Yay for fashion longevity :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379786 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 00:10:28 +0000 Debora 1379786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! Glad to hear this. I still love a straight leg silhouette and still like having a pair or two of skinny jeans to tuck into tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379783 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 23:57:18 +0000 Mona 1379783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. I have been eyeing these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379730 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 21:56:41 +0000 Style Fan 1379730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also glad to hear this.&nbsp; I live in BF jeans that are really straight legs.&nbsp; My super baggy BF jeans rarely make it out of the closet these days.&nbsp; My "skinnies" are very relaxed.&nbsp; I LOVE flares and bootcuts but I can only wear heels for a short period of time so they are not practical for daily wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015/page/2#post-1379714 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 21:25:10 +0000 Gigi 1379714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another person who's relieved to hear that skinnies aren't going anywhere for some time. I've got several pairs and really enjoy wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379709 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 21:19:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 1379709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five on the straight leg it's so much more versatile than the wider leg for me. I love the relaxed skinny/slim boyfriend fit&nbsp;too. Yay for multiple choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379694 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 20:35:32 +0000 PalmFronds 1379694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long live variety indeed! Good to hear we will have multiple options </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379666 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 19:44:27 +0000 Janet 1379666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is good to know. I am enjoying my bootcuts again, but it's so hard to achieve PPL in wider cuts of jeans and trousers. And BFs are comfortable, but sometimes they don't feel quite right for me -- there's often&nbsp;a little too much bagginess for me to feel like I'm getting any degree of figure flattery.&nbsp;I do like straights and skinnies that have&nbsp;some ease for a slight BF vibe and ease in rolling the hems. Plus it's nice to showcase boots and booties!&nbsp;</p> <p>Long live variety in style choices!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379659 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 19:39:33 +0000 Isabel 1379659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I have to say that has been really an eye opener for me. &nbsp;I went to a very large upscale mall recently and the women were 90% in skinnies. &nbsp;A whole lot of UGGS again too. &nbsp;I see skinnies an women of all ages. &nbsp;In fact, I was looking for a pair of bottle green ( like Ginger Ale bottles ) pants and all I could find were skinnies. &nbsp;Everywhere. &nbsp;It was exasperating. &nbsp;But the truth is that as we move into cold weather here in the NE, they make total sense for the bad weather and the cold. &nbsp;I just can't imagine ever going back to shoving my full cut pant leg into a winter boot ! &nbsp;: &nbsp;)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379619 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:42:16 +0000 gryffin 1379619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always loved relaxed skinnies/slim boyfriends before they had a name!&nbsp; I don't like tight skinnies, I'm just too&nbsp;old for that look, &nbsp;but I love how the narrow opening and slim fits showcase booties and, of course, they are the best pants silhouette with long jackets.&nbsp; Thanks for the jeans recommendations Angie, since they discontinued the Lucky Lola skinnies I've been in mourning.&nbsp; But I just bought Gaps always skinny skimmer, sized up, in washed black and gray - fab midrise, very comfy and you can't beat the quality for the money!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379618 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:37:08 +0000 Anonymous 1379618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to hear this Angie as I think there will always be a need for the straighter silhouettes and it's great that it means a great variety in available styles and trends, it's all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379615 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:27:00 +0000 unfrumped 1379615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know. Also I think it's harder to just follow trends on pants--fit issues&nbsp;tr can trump the "in" style even more that in tops (or maybe that's pear talk, and it's just the same for tops for other people, who may find pants fitting a breeze), and if the style just doesn't suit, it's hard to create a fab outfit. So it gets back to some things you've said before about interpreting the style for one's own shape and needs and finding ways to get some of the same effects without wearing something that just isn't right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379604 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:07:16 +0000 Glory 1379604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Canadian winter dressing was so much easier for me once I embraced the skinny jean. Pleased to hear that it is sticking around and that customer buying power counts!<br />My uniform for the entire winter season - and it is a long one - is based on some sort of skinny type bottom. Either jeans or ponte pants. I used to struggle so much with wet slushy pant hems! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379601 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:04:27 +0000 rachylou 1379601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes me happy. I really like skinnies. They've always been my style, and I was so happy to have them back in fashion and available. I guess I like the outfit structure they provide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379568 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 17:07:58 +0000 Angie 1379568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE my tailored&nbsp;straight legs and will never stop wearing them. I'm high fiving all of you. They are<i> far</i> too comfy and practical to not have in my wardrobe - especially in rainy Seattle.&nbsp;Body con skinnies on the other hand -&nbsp;I did for 6 months 5 years ago - and never again.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jackie, I'm with you. I love <b><i>the variation</i></b> of wearing&nbsp;BF slouch, relaxed skinnies (which are actually looser than most of&nbsp;my BFs funnily enough), tailored straight legs, bootcut trousers (not jeans), slouchy trousers and cigarette pants. Like I said in the post today:&nbsp;I love the look of fashionable slouch, but&nbsp;<i>do</i>&nbsp;enjoy a mixture of refined tailoring along with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Rabbit, I didn't notice lace-up boots on the&nbsp;catwalks. Lots of lace-up sneakers and flat oxfords though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mona, these three styles are your best bet by far. Remember that a slim fit BF is the same as a relaxed skinny.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinnies-and-straight-legs-in-2015#post-1379564 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 17:05:14 +0000 Peri 1379564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They can stay around, I don't mind. I'm just thrilled to have options because they never worked that great for me! I love it that skinnies are now mainstream and bootcut/flare are more fashion forward. I'm having a secret giggle that anything I like could ever be called trendy! </p>
