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?

Skinny jeans look unattractive on every person I’ve seen wear them, including Kate Moss. They just don’t flatter any figure.

FLARE bottoms! I remember the skinny jean (and its infinitely more comfortable leggings) from my youth. I was very thin (wish bodies snapped back wash after wash!) yet look back with disgust at that style. It took me some time to embrace the FLARE leg (mainly because they were only found with pants that showed hair that should not be shown) but the style is infinitely more flattering to ANY figure than the resurrected “skinny” jean. #1-throw skinny out with regard to fashion (no, I am not obese, or even chunky, just pissed) and focus fashion on what is attractive. #2-I realize my ‘fashion sense’ may differ from many, but who out there REALLY wants to relive the days of “skinny” jeans/leggings (whatever body shape)? If you do, will you resurrect pastels too! YIKES, some things are better left in the past!

I have worn skinnier jeans (straight legs) for years, but this trend is ridiculous. I find the super-tight trend of “skinny” jeans sloppy looking on 99% of the population and tacky on everyone, including Kate Moss. Keep the tapered jeans & aerobic wear in the 1980’s where they belong.

She looks so much better in the skinny jeans even though those type of jeans arent for everyone!

Skinny jeans are ok. I think they look best with a pair of high leather boots over them. I hope its a trend that fades fast though.

She looks like a soccer mom in those flares!

Danae September 18th, 2006

I love the flared leg jeans, much more flattering on everyone, including Kate. I think that this picture, along with the Spring 2007 Fashion week are indicators that the wide pants are making their much needed come back!

Laura September 18th, 2006

There is no way I can wear skinny jeans! I LOVE the flare! Bring it back Kate!

Casey September 18th, 2006

I LOVE the flare jeans!! I never got into that “skinny” trend because it’s pretty much hideous on everyone.

I’m soo glad i’m finally fashionable again!!! Thanks Kate!!
