To keep or not to keep bootleg and flared trousers jeans

I tapered mine to make them into skinny, they need to have an ordinary seem though as opposed to the top stitched one.

Good idea rosenoir ?

You can still buy bootcut and flared jeans, so I'm guessing they're still fashionable, though skinny/straight seem to be the norm. I also have some bootcuts tucked away (with labels still intact!) and am wondering if I really should let them go. I'm sort of wondering who decides whether they are right or wrong in any case! Maybe I'll be brave and wear them - although when Storm Dennis has gone away - all that wet fabric flapping around my ankles is just not a good idea.

Keep!
You may even wish to crop them, but this Spring /Summer's all about wide legs.

I need wide leg trousers, and they are a devil to find ones that really fit me properly.

I would love to wear skinny, tight fit ones, but I'm afraid I would scare the neighbours ( and friends)

I have been decluttering the wardrobe too.Half the outdated trousers have gone and half in a suitcase in the loft just in case??

This must be National Sorting Out Your Wardrobe Day!

I would keep them. Bootcut jeans never really go out of fashion because they are so slimming.

I’m forever just sorting out my wardrobe but sadly up until recently my sorting out the wardrobe meant taking them all out throwing on the bed, looking through them still liking everything I’ve got and back they all went lol but this time it’s chucking on the bed trying on then deciding what to do with them. I have taken few bags to charity though,now everything that’s gone back is colour coordinated until the next session, I so envy these ppl that can go charity, Keep. Charity .keep !

By the time I've worn my jeans out they're not even fit for the garden let alone a charity shop.

I would be inclined to keep them- that fashion will return.

They're in fashion again!

Or mid-calf length wide trousers seem to be in vogue with young women and teenagers.

Flares are back in fashion now - in Next M&S New Look H&M and probably others!

It's a devious marketing ploy to get people to part with their cash!

I won’t be wearing flares or wide leg calf length.

Two reasons: 1. Too old to wear flares again and I would look
silly.
2. Wide cut calf length and I would look
ridiculous. Not a flattering look in my book.

Quite happy living in skinny jeans, denim, cord or velvet and my latest purchase, wax coated, great for chilly windy days.

Possibly because I’m tall, I’m very fond of straight leg and jeggings /treggings. Never like full length wide trousers but I find the ones cropped below the calf for summer are great. So pleased to hear they’re still in fashion as I bought a few pairs in the sales last year.?

One thing for sure. If you bin them they will come back in fashion the following week

I think a bit like Kalu. I don't like bootcut or flares any longer so would give to charity shop. But anything I do like I am keeping from now on. I'm fed up discovering something I disposed of is fashionable again.
Also I am trying to wear things until they look a bit worn rather than renewing all the time. It's such a waste.

I crop mine for the summer. I don't even bother to hem them, just roll up twice. I like NYDJ jeans, which are normally expensive, but find bargain bootcut ones on Ebay to use in this way.

I gathered all my bootleg jeans together (new or lightly worn because the fashion changed so fast!) and sold them on eBay as a 'bundle'. I used to love bootleg jeans, but just don't like myself in them anymore. Maybe an 'age' thing?

Ditch them and buy straight leg or skinny.

I don’t have any bootlegs in my wardrobe fot about eight years or more but I think they are on the way back I think skinny is heading out so if you ve held onto them this long I d keep hanging, skinny have been in a very long time due a change

I love bootleg and will be happy if they come back I m bored with skinny now
