Here’s a list of things I would rather do than wear a pair of skinny jeans:
1. PRETTY
2. MUCH
3. EVERYTHING.
Yep. The fashion world may have told us for what seems like for-ev-ah that skinny jeans were hot hot hot but someone forgot to send that memo to my thighs. Put my pins in a spare of skinny jeans and my legs immediately look like ice-cream cones (albeit denim flavoured). It hasn’t so much been a case of “I’m just not that into you”. More a case of “I just can’t get into you. Even lying down. Wearing Nancy Gantz Pants and sucking my stomach in on the bed.”
My preferred jeans are boot cut. Actually that’s a lie. My preferred jeans are maternity ones with big elastic wasit-bands. But definitely my second-pick when it comes to jeans, is boot cut. And it seems I’m not alone.
According to the gods of eBay: boot cut jeans outsell every other jeans style. All of ’em. The Daily Mail Online reports:
“An infographic released by eBay today shows that sales of the classic bootcut jean far exceed sales of any other style – no matter how fashionable.
Among the 3 million pairs of jeans purchased in the U.S. on the online auction site over the past year, 793,289 pairs were bootcut – over three times more than the next best-selling style. Straight leg (215,353 pairs sold) and skinny jeans (214,405), which are typically more favoured by the style set, took second and third place respectively, but denim leggings, or ‘jeggings’, the latest style to hit the market, came in tenth place with just 11,616 pairs sold.
