Skinny Jeans

I think they look fine worn with the right top.However, the wide legged, flarey jeans are what's in fashion now, so you could stick to what you are used to, and be down wiv da kids.

I think figure type is more important than age, tbh. I think they can ook awful on large thighs-they can make you look like you've had your thighs lagged for winter!

That said, on the super skinny-they can make a girl look like Max wall!

If you've got slimish legs its a good start, because a less than pert bum can be addressed-by wearing a longer top etc.

I on the other hand, steer well clear of them! Try some on-with heels and the right length top you could pull it off.

I'm the same height and dress size size as you and also carry weight on my hips/bum.

I bought some 'New York' straight leg jeans from Mark One for £15. I found that they were a bit more forgiving and they still look like skinnies.

I think they're fine worn with the right top and some nice boots. I am shorter and wider than you (5 ft 3, size 12-14) and I have one pair of skinny jeans which I think I look OK in. Mine were from Marks and Spencer and I think they were about £15.

I'm in my mid thirties, 5'2'' and a size 12 and I wear skinny jeans. I think I look OK. At least I hope I do. ?

If you're worried about your bum and thighs, wear a longer top to cover them.

My mum's 57 and she has a pair of straight leg jeans that are pretty close to being skinny. She has good legs and looks really good in them with a longer top and ballet pumps. I don't think age matters.

I love my skinny jeans and I'm 5ft and a size 10-12

Thanks ladies.

Just asked OH what he thought of skinny jeans - "I hate them" - mm that may alter things!!!! ?

I was also going to suggest straight jeans - I have some "martha's" from TopShop which have the skinny effect without making me look all sausage legs.
