Most hideous jeans ever?

Front page of today’s Times 2 supplement.

The fashion editor seems to like them!
Seems to me that the manufacturers have been scrabbling about for anything to induce us to think ‘Ooh, new! So must (spend more money) buy some!’

Personally I wouldn’t be seen dead.

I’M with the wear whatever school of thought, just look in the mirror before you go out. Make sure you are pleasing yourself because that’s what it’s all about really.

I've worn slim-fit, boot-cut and slouch - but I wouldn't wear these. They just look stupid. And like your previous correspondent, I need to stick with skinny now, to see where i'm putting my feet!

I've worn every fashion of jeans since the early 60s. So in my teens and twenties, yes I would have worn these. To me, at my age now , they look unflattering but that is just my opinion, they would probably look great on our tall, slim granddaughter. I wear slim fit jeans (not skinny fit) with straight legs nowadays, they are the most flattering for me. When I was a teen etc I didn't really care if older people liked what I was wearing, in fact it was quite a hoot when they hated it!

I'm pretty sure I had something similar in around 1975.

These wide leg trousers are everywhere and as I'm short and petite they look awful on me. I was loving the tapered style trousers and skinny jeans but am having trouble finding them.
