Whereneverever Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I know we've discussed skinnies. What about jeans with heavy embellishment on the back pockets like these http://www.showdivadesigns.com/Jeans/ ? Appropriate for adults? Teens? Kids? I bought myself a pair tonight and I'm wondering how big of a Hive faux pax I'm committing. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they are fine for everyone. I saw some this summer on denim capris at Dress Barn. They were marketed to older women as well as younger by the display. The issue I have with most jeans is that the back pockets, however decorated, sit too low on many women, giving them less of a lift than a well-placed pocket can.

Cammie Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I love them and would totally wear them but I think they look best on people with smaller, perkier behinds than I currently have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they are fine for anyone who likes them. But they are not my style for my own jeans. I don't like bedazzled anything. On me. On other people, it's cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Not my style. I prefer to keep the bling off my backside! I think that if the style and fit of the jeans are just right, embellished pockets are fine. Unfortunately, I often see the pockets as the last straw on an already poorly cut, ill-fitting pair of pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arstephia Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I love mine! I have two pair and they are my favorite. I avoid "mom" jeans as they just make my rear look really long, and the bling jeans give me better proportion. I am 42 and have gotten a lot of complements on them. I am looking forward to cooler weather so I can wear them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't really like them for myself though I see other women wearing them and think they look fine if they fit well. In general though I don't like sparkly clothes and to be honest, I'll be glad when that trend (sparkle in general) dies down. I guess I am just drab, LOL. I also don't have a butt I want to call attention to. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they are out if style. That being said, it's not the most hideous thing I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 They're popular around here for all ages. But, hey, we're usually behind the times regarding fashion. I'm not a huge fan because I don't want sparkle on my backside -- I tend to not be a fan of sparkle clothing. Plus I think it looks like I'm going to gouge our couch or something with the crystals, which would be incredibly mortifying ("yes, those slash marks are courtesy of my butt").

Hikin' Mama Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they look great for any age. I don't wear them, but that's only because I'm really not a blingy person. I love them on other people, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnificent_baby Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they are cute for any age. Mine have a little bling to them. Just a warning though, be careful when sitting down in your kitchen chairs. The rhinestone buttons on the back have caught on the chair numerous times in the process of sitting down and scratched the heck out our black chairs. You can certainly tell where I sit, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they look cute as long as the jeans are well fitting. If I had some, I'd most likely reserve them for date nights rather than every day wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't think I could talk DD into jeans without embellishment. I don't buy women's jeans for myself, so for me it's a non-issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am neutral on them for other people, but I do think they are not for every occasion. But, some people have a style that is 'not everyday' and more power to you if you do! :thumbup1: I don't wear them because I am a classic pear. I don't need any more attention back there than necessary, thank you very much. I am also petite so I tend to stay away from patterns, embellishments and bling because they often overwhelm me. When I say overwhelm, I mean in a visual sense. I do not become emotionally overwhelmed by a large floral print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaOfalotta Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they are cute! And if I wasn't still (sadly) in yoga pants after ds I would be wearing some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they're ok--I neither love nor hate them. But I wouldn't buy them for myself. I prefer plainer pockets; these just aren't my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I own several pairs of Lee "Slimming Secrets" jeans. Each style has different embroidery on the pocket. I tend to avoid sequins but otherwise I enjoy the pocket designs. It is more important that the jeans fit well and this style does. I have the "Bardot" and "Rocha" ones.

Word Nerd Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not a fan and would never wear them myself; I'm not much of a bling girl. I don't think it's a faux pas for others to wear them, though. I doubt I would even notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I love them! I wear them! I like the bling, I like the thick stitching.

m0mmaBuck Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't like them. I think kids/teens/even college kids can get away with whatever, but they look ridiculous on anyone over 30. However, that's just my opinion and I'm not a fashionista so take that for what it's worth. I also want to echo the warning about choosing where you sit wisely. My friend ripped the heck out of my leather couch with her blingy butt, and I have scratches on my wooden kitchen nook from another. Also, do not do a TJ Hooker-style hood slide in them as they will scratch the paint on your car-- a lesson my son's friend learned that the hard way.

Dory Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they are for the younger crowd. Some young adults can get away with them. My dd loves them because they are fancy and pretty, but she won't wear them if she might be around the horses or needing to sit much that day because she says anything decorative on her back pockets is uncomfy to sit on.

Ellie Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I can't get excited about embellishing my butt. :D I prefer wearing longer tops; those embellishments would probably not even be seen, or at the most, only part of them would be seen, so what's the point?

Erin Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think they're adorable for all age groups for the most part, however I'm yet another who really doesn't want to draw the eye to my backside any more than necessary. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy101 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I love my jeans. The fancy pockets aren't the reason I bought them, but if one can't have a diamon hard tush, it's nice to at least have a faux diamond studded tush. The only clothes I own are everyday clothes. Jeans = everyday clothes to me. Regardless of fancy girly pants pockets. *shrugs* I don't believe people get too old for things. At almost 40, I am not too old for long hair, eye shadow, boots, bikinis, cute jeans, great sex, late night movies with my husband, spicy food, wrestling in the floor with my babies, playing pranks on my teens... If growing older "gracefully" means being a boring sedate demure fuddy-duddy, count me out of caring if I grow old gracefully. I've never been particularly graceful anyways. It's not very realistic to expect it at this stage. ;p Until this thread and gave absolutely zero consideration to my jeans pockets. Much less to whether I was too old for them.

FriedClams Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't care for them at all, on anyone. FWIW I'm wearing a sport skort and a Life is Good shirt right now - so I'm no fashionista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2Es Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Any style that is similar to the hand-me-downs that I had to wear as a child that were ten years out of style or more at the time is not something that I enjoy wearing now, even if everyone else on the planet seems to have simultaneously had one of those Men in Black flashy treatments done on their brains such that they now declare all those previously-shunned styles to be "cute." So it's a "no" for me on blingy rear-ends and contrasty seam stitching on jeans. I've already been there and done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msjones Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I like them as long as they aren't worn with super-casual attire. I think they need just the right outfit: mellow shoes, a classy top, decent jewelry, and a classy bag. Any time you've got sequins or ornate embroidery I think you've moved into the kind-of-dressy category and that your accessories should reflect that.

MomtoCandJ Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I do the embroidery but not any thing metal, I would get a rash ( even through my undies) and no one wants to see scratch my rear end. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joules Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I have some, not because I loved the embellishment, but because they fit well and that is hard to find.

Mango Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Oh yeah, bring on the bling! Yes, I own several pairs. My daughters too. They wear them with their jeans with blingy show belts. And they're hoping to get these blingy spur straps for their boots too. My Christmas shopping will be a piece o'cake for the girls this year! BLING. Cowgirls are so cute.

Mommyof4ks Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think they are cute, but I find them uncomfortable to sit down in.

houseofkids&pets Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think some of them are cute. Others are a bit too ornate for me. As pp have mentioned, I don't really want to add extra bulk to my butt!! I do not like jeans with embellished pockets on men, particularly those over 40.
