Faux leather front jeans????

Bonnie

Veteran

I just got these faux leather front jeans a couple of weeks ago and am feeling that I've made a huge mistake after seeing all of the posts about culottes and gauchos. I went ahead and shopped my closet for fall/winter looks but am afraid I am going to look too "last year". Can they be saved?

I'd rather look total fantastic than on trend. You own this look. My goodness you look fab.

Agree with Ledonna: you do own this look. Don't worry about what's trendy; skinnies are classic, and anyway, you look amazing.

They look fabulous! Keep them and enjoy. Culottes will be around for you to try another time.

What? If they look "last year" then sign me up for last year. Seriously, I have some similar pants and I intend to wear them happily this fall and winter. Wear and enjoy! You look great.

You look great! Enjoy them!
We have so many choices these days. I love that.

I love these outfits! I think they are perfectly current.

I feel validated and empowered to enjoy these pants. Thank you Jane, rachylou, TraceyLiz65, Ledonna N., viva, Staysfit, Janet, Barbara Diane, Banoffi, and RobinF, you have all made my day.

Ditto what they all said. Finding a style that works for you and your body is so much more important (imho) than being trendy. And this is YOU.

Also breathing a small sigh of relief, as it's also ME

Bonnie

Veteran

Thank you Elizabeth P. It's so good to hear that other people are sticking to what works for them, too. I may give culottes a try someday, but right now I still love skinny pants.

Aida

They look super and you've styled them wonderfully; I'm especially fond of #1 and #6. Skinnies aren't going anywhere, don't worry

These all look 100% current to me. I think the long-over-lean formula has serious staying power, and you do it SO WELL.

AJ

Veteran

These look good to me! I especially like 5 and 6. There's a sophisticated arty look to them that I like on you.

I like these pants. They look great on you. Enjoy them.

Thistle

Pants look great, and the outfits all on trend. Mixing it with the long cardis and ponchos makes it very this year.

Keep and enjoy.

Aida: Thank you. I think skinny jeans work for so many people and I'm glad to hear they are going to be around.

La Pedestrienne: Thank you. The long over lean works for my short waist and I would hate to give it up.

AJ: Thank you. Arty is good!!!!

delurked: Thank you. I think I would be in serious trouble if I had to change all of my skinnies to culottes. I would have nothing to wear.

Thistle: Thank you. Cardis and ponchos are favorites of mine.

BrieN

I think you look amazing and very modern.

Deborah

I echo Elizabeth:). Skinnies are forever and the wide leg trend will come and go. Love all your stylings. I won't be stopping wearing mine anytime soon x

Paula B

You look fabulous in them hun and I don't think you can go wrong in the Autumn/Winter time with leather.I wear my skirts and trousers like yours all the time,XXX

Mirjana

Veteran

Bonnie you look fabulous in all outfits, can't be better, I specially love#3. Out of trend, no, no, you are on trend with this look.

Sally

Veteran

Ooh I love these. Definitely not last year. You have a great range of toppers to wear with them.

Ledonna N.

Veteran

I would recommend getting a 2nd pair if you REALLY love them. Some trends take over. Then it is hard to find that which we loved. I remember that happend wit a style if high waist wide legs that I love.

Ten thumbs up. You look Killer FABULOUS, bonnie.

They're wonderful on you. No worries about being "off trend". I really like #1, #2 and #6 in particular, for the proportions. But all are fab.

Bonnie

Veteran

BrieN: Thank you for the kind words.

Deborah: It took a long time for me to try skinny jeans and once I did I discovered that they worked for me. Glad you will still be wearing them.

Paula B: Thank you, I wore my last winters shiny black skinnies constantly and wore them out, so these are replacements with a +.

Mirjana: Thank you. Being trendy, wearing what you like, and wearing what flatters one's shape, can be confusing.

Bonnie

Veteran

Sally: Thank you. I love toppers - now I have to work on what to wear under them.

Ledonna N: Good suggestion. I wore last years favorite black skinnies so much they started looking worn by spring.

Angie: I was hoping you would chime in. I really appreciate your validation and advice.

Suz: Thanks. I like hearing what works best. I think for my height and shape that proportion is the key element to making an outfit work.
