Any denim recommendations, ladies? Gen Z declared skinny jeans as out - what cuts/brands do you gravitate to or recommend?

They also said to bring back the flare jeans. Good thing I'm a hoarder and kept all those. Time to dig out the closet. I'm starting to think Gen z just discovered the thrift shop finds of everything we just recently tossed...

I commented early but wanted to also add - do we really want to take fashion advice from the generation that invented the tide pod challenge? I live near a D1 school and the freshman class showed up dressed like the Lost Boys. Let’s all wear what we love and feel comfortable in! It’s OK to have a personal style!

Ah, the Peter Pan lost boys are much less cool than the Kiefer Sutherland Lost boys.

I’m 4’11 . No way I’m getting rid of skinny jeans. The flares would just make me look frumpy. 😅

LOL agree C1. At one point I just decided to have jeans for heels and jeans for flats because there was just no other way.

Now I refuse to ever wear heels again so I am READY for these wider cuts. Plus I'm tired of having cold ankles. There is no way to avoid cold ankles with skinny jeans unless you wear boots all the time.

Besides, what we think looks frumpy is completely determined by what is in style at the time. Bad news for anyone insisting they're never going to give up on skinny jeans: you WILL look frumpy if you hold out long enough. That's just how it goes. Wear what you like and all that, I'm team Old and Frumpy for things that make me happy, but know that frumpy is a cultural designation, not an immutable measure of eternal truth 😅

I've supplemented my collection with a pair of cigarette leg (still fairly slim, so a compromise) and a pair of tomboy style from AG.

I've tried on a bunch of pairs of tomboy and straight leg styles, and found that whereas with the stretch in skinny jeans I could wear a bunch of different brands, it's much harder to find a fit that works with these other styles where there is less stretch in the denim. The rise is probably one of the biggest issues, because I'm short waisted, high-rise jeans really just don't work. Finding the right combination of rise, hips and thigh fit is difficult.

I have sort of a rock/moto style, so a skinny jean worked well with that. It's been a bit hard to transition away.

While I still have some skinny jeans... I have widened my horizons. To preface this: I am curvy (size 10) and tall (5’9”). I have found that straight leg, wide leg, and flare are actually quite flattering/more of a unique look. I usually go for Madewell or Levis, and a surprise has been Abercrombie & Fitch - they have majorly revamped since high school days and actually have some cute staples!

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

Thoughts on dating on your own project? Fell in love but don’t know what to do.
