Seriously are any ladies actually wearing these monstrosities?
I remember first time round, I had 2 pairs one denim and one lime green ( ) back in 1980. Young men were wearing them as well. When I think back now I looked like a bandy legged cowboy character, my brother said I looked like Coco the Clown in the green ones. The fashion passed after about 6 months back then, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere this time round.
But hell, I was 19 and didn’t care, I thought I was the bees knees at the time
I’ve seen so many fashion articles on them of late I don’t think they look good on anyone tbh. I really don’t like this “ugly clothes for women” movement that seems to have been going on in the past few years.
I prefer bootcut as they make my thighs look thinner. However, I’m getting a membership for a medical gym next week so perhaps I’ll streamline them
When I was moving in 2004 and clearing things out I found a pair of jeans I’d bought in 1984 and was amazed at how tiny I was back then, when I met my OH I weighed about 7st 10. Sadly 20 years on I doubt I would have got them over one ankle lol
While an exaggerated barrel makes you look like a clown, there are variants which fit differently to some degree. There is a “lantern” fit which is not so exaggerated, it has a similar profile and fits my short pudgy frame quite well. I do find that I like a looser fit.
I like my clothes to last a long time anyway, so I don’t buy anything terribly trendy.
