No More Skinny Jeans for Kate?

Kate Moss was the center of attention yesterday in London when she turned up to attend an event for Topshop (right), fueling speculation that she has agreed to design a line for the store (loved by everyone from Moss to Kate Middleton). As much as we would love to see a collaboration between Kate and our beloved Topshop, our attention is totally focused on her jeans — specifically, her faded bell-bottom jeans. Not only is Moss always one step ahead of every fashion trend (she was even named “The Trendsetter” as one of PEOPLE’s Best Dressed), but she was one of the first to rock the super-dark, super-skinny jeans (left, in April), making tight, black denim a signature of her style. Now that Kate is wearing light flares again, does this mean that skinny jeans are on their last legs? Which look do you prefer?

THANK THE HEAVENLY SHAPELY GODS ABOVE!!! All curvy girls are breathing a sigh of relief. As a woman who’s shaped like Jennifer Lopez (who by the way NEVER fell for the skinny jean trend) I am so happy that we can be proud of our curves and not feel like we’re too fat to be stylish. Ladies, it’s not about the trends. It’s about what looks best on you. If it looks great, stick with it, no matter what decade it’s from.

Hopefully, skinny jeans will go bye bye. I don’t think they’re flattering at all. I love baggy jeans…for they flaunt and fit all body types!

I Think the skinny jeans are ok. I personally don’t have a pair, but I hate the way they looks with flats and vests. People just gotta wear whatever suits their bodies and wear what they feel good in.

Super skinny jeans are designed for just that…super skinny women. Now tell me how many super skinny women you see walking around? Yes it’s very fashion forward, but why design and market something that a majority of the female population won’t look good in and pretty much should not be wearing? It will do one of two things: make women who shouldn’t be wearing them think they can wear the super skinny jeans and that they can actually go out in public in them; and two, make these women think there is something wrong with them because they can’t wear them, causing even more young girls and just women in general to think they don’t fit the “standard” of how women should look. Let’s be realistic here people, society has placed enough pressure on women’s appearances.

This is great – other women like me who hate skinny jeans. Blah! I am skinny and yet I still don’t want to wear those atrocious things. Flared pants compliment a women’s body much better than the tight thing.

i myself LOVE the skinny jeans. i wear skinny jeans and they’re so comfortable. i also think that they are sexier. @ the same time though i love flares. i will wear both. and all these people saying u have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans that’s not true. i wear a size 0 and i wear skinny jeans. i have a friend who wears a size 9 and wears skinny jeans. it’s wat’s comfortable to you.

I do love the flare as much as the skinny BUT ‘KATE’ looks much better in her skinny jeans,just take a good look at the pics…and i honestly think that both styles should stay,for people like me who likes to switch it up occasionally!!!! you can’t be the same everyday……

I prefer skinny jeans for myself i find it more comfortable easy to carry with the feeling of im not wearing a weighty material because of its slim bottom . The evolution is fantastic having stretchable material and low waist style unlike in the 80’s were u needed help of someone in order to pull the bottom of the jeans out of your feet hehe.

But of course trendsetting is the capability of carying style even its not yet in everyone’s wardrobe. I just adore Kate Moss even if she wears sacks she would look wonderful!
