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?

Flare jeans look sooooo much better

I used to think skinny jeans were just awful, but you have to understand that celebrities and models where a dramatic, over-stylized version of them. “skinny” pants don’t have to be skin tight, they can fit slim while tapering to the bottom and worn with heels can make the leg look longer. I think the great thing right now is that pretty much any style goes; as long as they aren’t bell bottoms flares are a staple style for girls who need to balance out full hips. Boot cut jeans I think are the jean of the season, they’re easier to wear than skinny jeans but keep a similar silouhette.

Any woman who is skinny and thin can pull of skinny jeans, plain and simple. Curvier woman cannot. I have seen Mariah Carey wearing skinny jeans, and Kate looks much better than Mariah does in the jeans. Mariah (and other curvier woman) should stay AWAY from skinny jeans. And the title “No more skinny jeans for Kate?” she can ware flare AND skinny. Does not mean everytime she wears jeans they HAVE to be skinny. But I would not be caught dead in skinny jeans, I don’t wear things just because celebs wear them. Who cares what the stars are wearing and if they are “in” wear what YOU want!

the style on the right looks best. i can’t imagine them really ever being ‘out’ of style. they’re practically classic at this point, while the skinny jeans arev only a trend. kate’s just lucky enough to look good in ANYthing.

Kelly

FLARE, definitely! We could all use a little balancing out….

KAT

Flare definitely.

Ronnie

I didn’t like them in the 80’s and I don’t like them now.

Jennifer

Definitely the flare. As much as fashion is fun, the skinny jeans don’t really flatter anyone – even if they are Kate Moss. Bring back jeans people can be comfortable in.

I think skinny jean shouldn’t been a trend because they great for the fall and the winter when you want to put knee-high boots over your jeans. I know I will still wear my skinny jean even when the trend goes out. I’m not a fan of flare jeans because I’m short and it will make me look even more shorter. But I don’t think Kate Moss retired her skinny jeans, maybe she just like us when get new clothing we like to wear it everywhere.

Meredith

I think she looks so much better in the flare leg. we all know kate moss is stick thin so she doesn’t need a pair of skinny jeans to prove it! She may be slowly on her way to looking like the all-american girl.
