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?

I know that when lots of people start wearing a certain trend, I move on to other things. Who wants to look like everybody else? This is probably what Kate is doing. As soon as everyone starts wearing the wide leg trend, there will be another one waiting for us to catch up on.

Keeping in mind, the definition of a trend is one minute it’s hot and the next it’s not. The average woman is a size 14. Skinny jeans does not look good on a woman who has more body fat than a woman who is a size 0.
Flared or boot cut style jeans (with a little bit of a stretch) are more appealing on all body types.

This is a no-brainer! Flare jeans much preferred. Skinny jeans look ridiculous even on the skinniest people like Kate. The flare jeans at least make her look like she’s got a bit of meat on her bones! Imagine the more realistic average-looking North American in skinny jeans??? UGH!!!!!

I like the skinny jean. It is fashion forward, Americans are not willing to take risks. I have worn skinny jeans for years because I like them, I care less of what other people think. But I have and like boot cut and flare jeans just the same. Open your minds people!!!!

I think I’ll always prefer the flare/bootleg style. Skinny jeans just aren’t as flattering.

a little flare/bootcut is ok… but bell bottoms nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo if they come back i will flip the f out……

skinny jeans are just foul. we need to draw the line somewhere.

And thousands of women across the world breathe a sigh of relief. Ahhhhh. Thank you, Kate! The newer jeans style she has on is so much more flattering than the skinny jeans, even on the very thin Kate Moss. They don’t necessarily look like bell bottoms, thankfully. The more relaxed style looks much more comfy too!

I can’t stand the skinny jean trend! They don’t look good on my body and they just aren’t comfortable. And, what’s with leggings too?? Ugh…why don’t we just bring back thong leotard at aerobics class while we’re at it! And sweat bands! Sheesh…Not my thing…NOT comfortable…NOT flattering on me…and if that makes me a “close-minded American” as one poster would say then I think I can live with that. haha!

I think skinny jeans look super sexy on skinny people.
Fashion trends should be reasoned with body size before embracing them. There is no pressure! Wear what is right for you. skinny or flare!Jeans rocks…
