klmama Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I just looked at the Lands End site, and most of their women's jeans have tapered legs. Are the stretch, boot-cut jeans going out of style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillian Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 man i hope not...i don't do tapered legs lol but lands end always seems to have a lot of tapered legs even at the height of the boot cut fad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Until next year I bet. It seems to go between extremes so that you have to buy new jeans to be in style. Wasn't it last year and the year before with the wider legs, and the year before that was the bell bottoms (groannn). I think 'skinny jeans' were introduced last year. Why do I think I know this? All I wear are skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Skinny jeans are the only jeans now. Or so my 13YO believes. She who had some very cute flared jeans last year that suddenly became utterly and completely unacceptable. For bonus points, skinny jeans in bright colors are great. She says. Purple is a particularly desirable color. Lime green attracts, but take more courage than she has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runamuk Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I don't think so. They're still in all the stores. Thank goodness, because I don't have a skinny jeans body. Land's End carries the *classic* styles and has never really had a big selection of boot-cut jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Well, it all depends on your age. For the teens, you have to wear skinny jeans. You know how it is when you're young. Everyone wears the exact same clothes. When I was a kid, we all cuffed our jeans really tight around the ankles and wore big socks. For the kids now, it's the skinny jeans. For the adults, you have more options. There are still the boot leg. I agree with everyone else about Lands End, however. They always sell the 'classic' cut jeans. (I.e.: Mom jeans.)

orangearrow Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Boot-cut jeans will never be out of style for me. lol My oldest is only 11, so I'm hoping she doesn't develop a huge sense of "fashion" until the skinny jean phase is over and done with. Although, I don't mind it so much on the girls. It's seeing all the boys in skinny jeans that I'm having to get used to. :lol: It just strikes me as funny, for some reason! My dd is long and gangly, though. I doubt, even if she did care what she wore, that she'd choose skinny jeans. She'd look like a Granddaddy Longlegs! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I sure hope not. I was looking at some old pictures of me in tapered leg jeans. They are horrid on me. Bootleg jeans look so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 If you've got the cash, I found a bunch of boot cut styles by Not Your Daughter's Jeans here. I've heard tons of raves about that brand from ladies I know with let's just say bodies that would not be flattering in skinny jeans ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 We are in full winter gear. We are close to Boston, the style here are funky leggings with longgggg sweaters layered over a mock turtle neck or long sleeved tee (bright colors) that are a bit longer than the sweater. Matching scarf and beret. And for the feet, the Classic Tall Uggs. Some wear a skinny jean in place of the leggings, I think the leggings look cuter and are far more stylish with some of the funky designs.

elise1mds Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Boot-cut jeans are kind of out of style but they're being replaced by even bigger flares, so it works for me. Skinny/boyfriend jeans are all the rage, but I can't wear them, either. My legs are too curvy and non-anorexic :p. Jeans themselves are optional right now, though; the REAL trend is the 80s look of baggy sweaters over leggings... but this time you wear them with boots instead of high-tops! Though I've seen more high-top shoes this winter than I've seen in a while. I got my daughter a pair, and she adores them. I've also seen some wide-leg jeans here and there... I so pray those come back. I LOVED my wide-leg jeans in high school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thea Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh my I certainly hope not!!!! Skinny jeans and wide hips are scarrrryyyy. My oldest doesn't really pay attention to fashion, but my youngest is really into to skirts w/leggings. Me? I'll stick with boot/wide leg, thankyouverymuch. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Meh. Who cares? Wear what you wanna wear. We're homeschoolers.

Crimson Wife Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 The hosts of What Not to Wear. Okay, that makes sense now. We don't have cable/satellite and for some reason I'd thought the guy on WNTW was named Carson something. But obviously I've got my reality TV folks mixed up! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
