New fashion women's jeans.

You're being a bit hard on Lillian40! When I read the OP the poem of Ogden Nash, which was in a book given to me 50+ years ago, came to mind:
"Sure, deck your lower limbs in pants
Yours are the limbs, my sweeting.
You look divine as you advance
Have you seen yourself retreating?"

Everyone should choose to wear whatever they want. Not your business

So, Ogden Nash was rude too! We shouldn’t be judging each other.

No wide legged jeans here either, straight leg. I’m 5’11” size 16. I too hate material flapping about.

At 5'2" wide-leg trousers/jeans are not a good look for me. Skinny are too clingy; Slim-fit are better but I might try Mom-fit as they look OK from what I've seen.

To be honest, none look great when you're a shorty, and have a short waist and flat bum - I need a longer body!

Think I might start wearing dresses and skirts for a new look.

I used to wear wide legged jeans, they looked great. I was 19 years old with a 20 inch waist.

Now I’m 68 years old and afraid to measure my waist

Have you been stalking me Lillian?

While I agree the op was a bit judgmental (a bit ?!). Is everyone on here saying they never ever look at what someone is wearing and think “oh dear that’s not very flattering” ? I know I do, be they old or young thin or not….so shoot me…

No thanks to wide leg trousers/jeans. I’ve managed to trip myself up by standing on the loose fabric of one leg while using the stairs! ? ?

For myself, I like straight or slim fit jeans. Other people make different choices for themselves. I can’t see any problem with that.

I tend to favour straight leg jeans in a soft denim or needlecord. I also have thick black leggings to wear with boots, under longer length tunics/jumper dresses. I don't feel comfy in skin tight garments.

I have struggled with my weight all my life, and spent most of my teens and early adulthood hiding under clothes which hid or at least disguised my figure. Only now in my mid 60s ( and having lost a lot of weight), am I more confident in my appearance, and am at the stage when I think I don't care what anyone else thinks anyway!

I look at today's young women and silently applaud them for having the confidence to wear whatever they want, regardless of their shape or size. I don't judge, but sometimes think " oh I would have loved to wear that".

Take care xx

I have just bought a pair in next

Each to their own please. I dislike wide leg trousers, and as a 7 1/2 stone Size 6 64 year old am very happy to wear leggings, jeggings and skinny jeans. Let people of all shapes, sizes and ages wear what they want please.

I love my jeans. Flared and straight, mainly from Tesco and I will be 66 in 2 months.

Well said, Scotsmum. I'm not sure why anybody should think they have the right to judge others in what they wear and the damage that can be done when commenting on the body shape of someone can last a life time. My mother called my fat continually and I have felt that all my life. I apparently have no waist which means I look like a man and I could look as good as a cousin if I just lost weight. She wonders why I have no confidence in myself but even when I lose weight, that is wrong too because then I am being silly. Of course I don't need to lose any more.

I`ll stick up for Lilian 40,, yes, I hear what you all say, about being kind etc. etc.. but come on, are you all being kind to Lilian40? just wondering

Very well said Scotsmum!

The M&S 'Magic' jeans are a straight leg and very nice. They sit on your waist (no muffin top) they have stretch and are very comfy but they are quite wide. Personally I like slim cut jeans (not skinny) but they are not readily available in 'on the waist' stretch style. I have worn skinny but usually only with a longer top covering the hip area and a lowish heeled boot. I wouldn't judge others on their choices as I think we should all be free to wear what we like and not be a slave to covering up our bodies.

Straight leg or some slim leg for me. Never skinny. Wonder why I choose those. Oh yes I'm not very tall or slim and wide legged trousers would give me a boxed like appearance. Suppose I am like OP I consider what I look like and choose styles accordingly rather than wear whatever is the style of the day.

Could you not just off asked where to buy wide leg jeans from. I don’t feel there was any need for the other comments.

My mother was just the same!

Lilian40…you must be so beautiful with a perfect body shape and gorgeous legs.

A friend who, in her younger days, was complaining to her father about the shape of her legs received his reply thus "well they hold you up don't they?" ! I often think of this comment which I find amusing, but somehow very sensible too. On the subject of jeans, I like straight leg as they seem to hide the imperfections in my own legs (no, I'm not telling!). It's leggings that I think do nobody any favours, so I don't wear them ie practising what I preach!!!! The sun is out here, hope it is in your neck of the woods. A good day to take my jeans for a walk!!!!!

My legs are not for anyone to comment about.

Lillian40, I totally agree about the funny legs - in leggings too. Still, I don't think any jeans are flattering on the over 60's - unless worn with a long top.

Why display a flat or drooping bottom to the world? Don't people check in a triple mirror - or just get someone to take a photo of a back and side view? I only know one older person, a PT, who has a decent figure still.

Complaining about complaining is still complaining.
