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?

The flare leg is proving to be a timeless look which I fully support. I’m always amazed how quickly people jump on the latest fashion bandwagon, only to jump back to the classics a few month later. I agree with Angela – why do what everyone else is doing? I’ll stick to what’s comfortable and what flatters me most!

No to skinny jeans! My friend is a ZERO and she can’t even pull off skinny jeans!

I’m plus and there is no way I would ever put on a pair! I will always, always wear flare and boot-cut. They flatter EVERY body shape, skinny or fat!

Bring shapely styles back! Boot-cut styles are awesome! They are classic!

I wish that both would stay in style. However, the flare style more people can pull off. If you’re not super skinny, you cannot pull off the skinny jean without looking like a diamond.

I’m with the majoity on this one. Why torture ourselves anymore then we already are? It’s hard enough finding flattering tops that hide even the smallest of belly rolls. What’s next…back to rolling up the bottms and putting scruch socks over them. YUCK!!

At this moment in time, and in fashion history, I would have to say skinny jeans are chic. I get stared at everytime I wear them, and I must say I feel great in them (though, admittedly, my intake of ice cream has decreased to a great degree).

DEFINITELY THE SKINNY JEANS ARE BETTER. YOU JUST LOOK SEXIER. THEY SHOULD STAY IN. THEY LOOK NICE EVEN ON A SKINNY PERSON LIKE KATE MOSS.

Marcia

I love skinny jeans, and people who say they aren’t flattering are jus no buying quality jeans. They are very flattering to curvy and skinny women. Flare jeans make you look old and matronly, even a sexpot like kate moss. They remind me of granny wear, not something chic and fresh.

denisha

skinny jeans are something that you can dress up with a pair of pumps and have a night on the town.

ames

you should wear what is flattering and what makes you comfortable, and maybe not in that order. fortunately for kate, everything looks good on her. she could wear hammer pants and folks would scream “trend alert!!”

Sue

I prefer the flare leg jeans for my personal wardrobe, but the skinny jeans are in, and they look great on most people. But on me, that’s a different story. I’m a big overweight, so skinny jeans are not for me. I think that Kate looks great in both the skinny jeans, and the flare leg jeans. So I say, just wear whatever you want to wear, whether it be skinny jeans, or flare leg jeans.
