i've been wearing skinny jeans for two years now and my closet is overflowing with them. i want to invest in new jeans and what do you think should i buy? straight cut? boot cut? wide? i'm about 5'5 and relatively normal in weight..not skinny anymore since i've piled on pounds since i started working 3 yrs ago!

i totally agree with angel! i'm about 5'6" and size 6 and i LOVELOVELOVE the sexy bootcut Lucky brand jeans and almost any jeans from Banana Republic (very classic). I haven't tried any of the other brands out there yet. But if any of them fit like my Lucky's... I'd love to go get 'em! If they're on sale, that is . . .

Boot Cut all the way. Flares are too big at the bottom for me (I'm 5'4") but Boot Cuts you can wear tennis shoes, heels, boots, etc. I Love them! Now if you wear boots, heels all the time then Flares are decent too but get avarage size. Some of them have Tall, Average and Regular sizes for the height.

Kitsch... i read that flats are really good for cropped pants or skinny pants so if you go with boot cut, you may just have to buy yourself some new shoes, girlfriend!!!

im really inclined to buy wide pants....maybe bootcut would be nice..i mean they never go out of style right?

haha - watch out bluefly and zappos, kitsch is coming!

boot legs are here to stay and even if they do go out, they'll come right back because there's a demand for them: the style really flatters ALL shapes and sizes of women! if anything, i think the skinny jeans might go out soon (but will return again!)

I agree with everyone, bootcut is the way to go. They will always be "in" and they are not too wide and not too narrow for those new shoes you'll buy!! he he

yeah haha..you're so funny elaine!!

bootcut is very flattering..i think i look thin wearing bootcut..slim pants/skinny jeans accentuate my wide hips!!!

Definitely bootcut - I know everyone has already said it, but they're flattering, versatile, and comfortable - can you get any better?
