skinny jeans or trouser jeans for fall?

jrhampt · Kenneth Cole

I like the trouser jeans better because I think they're more flattering.

atlgirl · Gucci

I am curvy, so skinny jeans don't flatter me. I never bought any. I think trouser jeans are more universally flattering.

I wouldn't worry about what is "in" or "out" for any season...just buy / wear what suits *your* body. Then you'll always look good. :)

I am planning to buy a pair of wide leg jeans (need to figure out what brand -- suggestions anyone?!) and think they're a more classic style. But I think I will keep wearing my skinny jeans for at least one more season.

Wide leg trousers are a definite must buy for me. I hope I can find a good inexpensive pair!

Kelly · Hermes

I feel like skinnies are on their way out. I have close-cut straight-legs that I used to get into the skinny mood (because I look atrocious in genuine skinnies), but if I was buying new jeans right now they'd be trousers

Suasoria · Chanel

Wide, wide, please let it be wide.

I think the skinny/straight leg style will still be in for fall. However, I think that wide leg jeans and trousers will be more in. I agree with atlgirl, focus on what suits you best. That could be more of a straight leg if you want to go for skinny jeans, or more of a flare jean as opposed to full on wide leg.

Lilykind · Hermes

I'm wearing both. My skinnies are more straight than skinny though.

I just bought a straight/bootcut pair that I need to get hemmed. I also have a pair of widelegs I'm loving but haven't really worn because I need to wear them with my highest heels and wedges.

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

Oh yea thats true. As Lilykind said, I think wide leg jeans look best with heels/wedges. It would probably be fine with flats if you were really tall with long, skinny legs (but I'm sure most of us here do not fit that description).

kittenheels · Coach

I like the trouser leg...but I also liked skinnies. I should add that I haven't bought jeans in over a year, since I just tend to wear them on the weekend! I'm wearing my trouser jeans this fall - it's been hot in LA, so I don't really wear jeans in the summer here!

ViViDogWear · Kate Spade

I'm sticking with the straighter/skinny jeans (esp for tucking into boots). I've always like the trouser cuts but the superwide leg is too trendy and overpowering on me (personally). I say just wear what you feel comfortable with.

dangergirl · Kate Spade

both!
