Bootcuts or flares i think are more flattering on me than straights or skinnys so I have a probably a 50-50 split in my closet... The bootcuts dont feel as fresh looking after spending more time on YLF but I like how they make my body look and they are what everyone wears locally so i certainly dont feel too behind the times in real life. I have 6 pairs currently. 3 -- one each light, med, dark that get worn quasi regularly, 3 white -- two identical boot, one flare. Perfect hem length is critical for not feeling like I have totally missed the boat...

I have two pairs of Paige bootcuts, one hemmed for lower heels, one left full length for higher. I'm having the shorter ones narrowed slightly to baby boot cut. Also a pair of Hudson baby boots, and some Joe's that are just a smidge snug (I ordered the wrong size and kept them out of optimism, sigh), but still wearable.

I am considering having an orphaned pair of BR bootcuts narrowed slightly too. Otherwise, I have a couple of pairs of old David Kahn bootcuts that I keep for mucking around in the yard or my junkyard expeditions -- one of them does a passable impression of BF jeans if I peg them, since those jeans are from when I was a size larger.

So I have a few. I let go of a couple of pairs of skinny skinnies, and I'm liking the idea of switching things up more this fall and winter.

3 pairs...which is a majority in my jean collection since I don't wear jeans alot. Bootcut jeans are just the best cut for my body type. They are classic.

I have atleast 3 pairs, and have always loved them and have never completely replaced them with my skinnies. I like them for more casual looks, especially when the weather is on the warmer side. But even with heels, they create a nice (and probably more forgiving on days you don't feel so skinnylicious!) shape that is easy to dress around or pair with a jacket.

To tell you the truth, my go-to pair are (get ready to snicker at the brand!) my AE "skinny kick" distressed light-ish wash jeans. They just work well, from the most casual white tee and DC skate sneakers to a blazer with rolled sleeves and pyramid studded heels.

I love my dressier skinnies, but sometimes you just need that 'one pair' of bootcut (or flare!) jeans that reminds you why we're all so thankful for denim!

One pair! And you're right, they look good with pointy-toed shoes. I wear mine with these:

At a guess for the jeans probably around 35 pairs of bootcut ,4-5 pairs of streight leg, and somewhere around 20ish for flare and maybe 10 trouser jeans?

I work in fashion retail and jeans have been encouraged for workwear the past 7 years.And my size and taste have stayed pretty much the same. I'm finding that this year I am not as interested in what is on offer for jeans as the cut has changed to a uncomfortable/unflattering one for me ( LOTTTA Skinnies/jeggings and wider waist narrow cut on thigh styles ) so what does catch my eye is often something quite similar in details to something I already have and the new option in the store would have to be altered to fit my smaller waist.

I possess just one pair and they are my slob-about-to-do-the-housework jeans for when I'm sloshing the bleach around cleaning bathrooms. I wouldn't mind a new pair though.

Thank God bootcut jeans are coming back in style! I just bought a pair at Kohl's a few weeks ago, they are great. But I still find myself wearing my skinnies, which it took me a couple of years to come around to wearing them, and now they are going out... LOL of course

I own 3, but I'm purging one, bringing it down to 2. I love my JAG bootcuts, with that pull on waist, which makes for a smooth untucked look, but no tucking (alas). I still like a bootcut, but I think I'd like a pair with a looser fit in the leg and a lighter wash for next spring.

None at all. I purged my last pair when they got too big and haven't replaced.

I have 5-- all of my jeans are bootcut. 2 pairs are "painting and construction work jeans", 2 pairs are work jeans (for my field season), and I have one pair of dark blue Gap jeans that I wear when I have to look smart casual.

Bootcuts will always be part of my life, since nothing else works well with hiking boots, cowboy boots, ect. Sure, I could and have switched to more technical pants for hiking, but nothing beats denim for fishing and hanging out at the cabin.

The boot also balances out my proportionally larger thighs and makes the jean look more straight cut.

Just one, and I hardly ever wear them. I prefer straights and tapered BFs to boot cuts. I keep them, though, because I still really like them.

I should have a few pairs, but they all seem skinny/tapered or flared. I'm not sure I can tell my straight legs from bootlegs proper.

Two pairs, and they are both new. One is a very dark wash and the other is a medium wash. I've been wearing them with pointy shoes and love the combo! I also have a pair of bootcut cords that I haven't worn yet.

I own one pair (my pant collection is shameful) and I was thinking of bringing them to the tailor to turn them into straight legs, but am really rethinking that now!

I have 4 pairs--2 blue, 1 brown, and 1 dark gray. I don't like the inseam length (too short for my boots), but they work well with athletic shoes on weekends. They're on their way out of my wardrobe, as my three DDs all hate bootcut jeans and are so adament about it that I switched to straight and slim legged jeans. Now that I made the switch, I realize they're right. Oh well... at least I don't have too many!

I still love my flared Express Editors, though. Like Angie, I prefer a more fluid fabric for wider-width pants. That said, traditional wide-legged pants don't flatter me. The Express Editors are not wide all the way down, so they work well. I wear them with 3-inch heels.
