I do think the baggier, wider jeans look worse, much worse than slim styles on most of them tbh, especially if the belly and waist fill out after meno. Some of the new wide legs are enormously flappy and shapeless - not that shapeless is a negative, just a data point from me!! And unless you wear a tighter, shorter top then the body can look like a giant rectangle.
What amazes me on MN is how so many women are ditching slimmer jeans whilst crying about still loving them! They're easily led if they'll chuck away decent clothes that suit them whilst simultaneously raging on about mass production and landfill. So, far from being style mavens one ought to look up to, I'd say most of them are severely sartorially lost and have no idea how to dress themselves outside of gawping at teenage girls. Anything they say is 'dated' is usually quite the opposite.
On a skinny jeans thread last week, one of them associated wearing skinnies with being poor. I doubt she gets out much, considering the monied set in my neck of the woods are still wearing the damn things tucked into their country boots or worn casually with oversized jumpers and converse. I certainly haven't seen any middle class, middle aged women flapping through the local park wearing sawn off baggy barrel legs. This ought to concern them, since they're so desperate to be perceived as MC.
They still think Parisian women are strolling about wearing trench coats and ballet flats, too. And don't forget the NAICE scarf and Babyliss Big Hair......and the good cut and colour!
And if all of that fails, get a personal stylist at John Lewis, a bra intervention and your colour's done. It's like the Blue Badge of MN fashion.
