Bootleg, tapered, 501, skinny, loose?
Twisted.
Used to swear by boot cut, but been rocking skinnies lately - cos I can 😛
Whatever feel comfortable when I try them on and are in budget. Fashion is not my forte in the slightest.
Rocking?
Lordy.
currently sporting matalan's finest, so one leg is straight cut and kinda skinny the other is twisted...i like em though...
44 here, too old for skinnies, so baggy-ish and "regular" Howies style.
Flares everytime(i have wee legs, flares makem look longer, apparently).
Levi 511's. I like 'em.
Whatever the OH has that is clean.
Levi's Vintage 1954x
best fit for big thigh blokes, wide seat and things, tapers from the knee down if you want a narrow hem
APC New Standards for winter raw denim, size down though as it stretches at least 2 sizes when worn
Levi's Vintage 1947 for a worn look winter denim, at the most a one wash look or its too light for winter
Depends what Top Shop are doing in a 36" inside leg at the time... The Baxter ones are good!
On the rare occasions I wear jeans, got to be a loose fit.
501s here. But then I was wearing loon pants back in the late 60s/early 70s 😯

With that attitude, full on beige is just around the corner mate.
Howies dad cut here
+1 for Levi 511's here, love 'em!
Relaxed carpenter cut - carharrt or dickies

No way am I dressing 30 years younger than I am! I bet you will feel the same. No biege in sight either.
Comfy flannel lined Oakley ones I bought in a sale for £40 some years ago. Loose fit, at a rough guess. Otherwise it would have been a pair of Danish Army M95 combats; dead comfy, loads of pockets, ¾-lined, and cost £16. Winter, innit!

Anyone older than 25 looks a tit wearing skinny denims. Unless they're one of the Ramones.
Levi's Vintage 1954x
Just googled them as I have large thighs, HOW F****N MUCH...! 😯
Bootcut, all day, every day.
Don't do straight/regular cos my feet are too big.
Don't do skinny cos my calves are too big.
Don't do loose because I'm not a fatty.
Straight leg....brand not important....fit is everything....fitted around waist, hips, buns and thighs, loose below the knee.
Skinny jeans on an adult?....no, for Russell Brand wannabe types.
Loose fit/baggy?....for children perhaps.
Whichever flatter my thighs and buns of steel the most 8)

(so that means Fat Face or Howies relaxed ones)
I used to only wear boot cut but decided I need a shake up and now wear slim fit which ironically look much better with boots.. Levi 513 and 514

Don't do skinny cos my calves are too big and I'm not a teenager or a girl.

Which leaves me with 506s, 581s 501s and the exception being 751s.

Unless of course they actually fit you and look good...

Your description of straight legged jeans sounds like something your dad would wear - and 'buns' - wtf?
Skinny jeans can look ridiculous, or can look good - depends on your overall build, as can baggies. To sum up - the wrong type of jeans on the wrong body shape will look crap, but any type carried off properly can look ok.
paulosoxo - MemberLevi 511's. I like 'em.
+2 on the Levi's 511s. Superb jeans, it's taken me years and many hundreds of pounds wasted to finally settle on the ultimate fit (for me).
I've currently got 4 pairs (medium blue fade, indigo blue, jet black and grey) and another blue pair waiting to replace the medium blue fade pair when I eventually wear them out.
6"0, 12.2 stone and 33 years of age wearing 32/32.
Skinny jeans or straight leg ones usually, or sometimes a faded pair with rips in them, and little frayed bits. I like allsorts. I havent worn a pair of baggy jeans for a long time though.
562 Loose Taper at the moment 🙂
Skinny, cos I'm young and can get away with it. Old people cannot. Dress with dignity once you get over 30 ffs.

Levis 514 in 31/32, all bought in the US. I have four pairs including cords. I don't think 31 waist is available here. Straight but not slim.
If you're wearing 511's, you aren't riding enough 😉
What a retarded comment umop3pisdn - is over 30 old now? Thankfully my daughter and her mates think me and Mrs STR are quite cool - mostly because we don't conform to the usual 40 something dullness

Carhartt slim pant 33/32. Not too skinny, not too fat.
Jeans?

How can anyone think this is a good look?
Plain old 501s in indigo.
i have no idea. just bought 2 pairs jeans from tesco's for £10.
they look standard,but are about 2" too long in the legs (will be keeping them though i can still grow into them at 37 😉
Slim or straight. I don't like skinny, too uncomfortable around the thighs.

Yoof! 🙄
midlifecrashes, aged 501!

Come on, we need pics of you and Mrs STR rocking your trendy mum and dad jeans now.
My daughter thinks I'm the coolest guy in the world too. She is 4 though.
What ever does not look "youth" from pri mark and some baggie howies with the warm wool inside .
Up until recently it was always bootcut. Then I realised that they make me look even shorter than I am (which is short) so am slowly swapping over to straight leg.
I did buy some slim fit jeans from Next the other day, which are ok but I am not 100% convinced by them. Fit is ok, but taking them off is a struggle as they don't like to go back over by calves.....first world problems & all that.
Zara slim fit.

APC Petite Standards
Selvedge 511s
Straight cut - tight on the thigh, loose round the knees. Looks good with anything*
*Within reason.
Oh, and 28/32 😉
I can cut the skinny/slim jean/trouser well. Slim tall athletic here.
I've been rocking Raphas Jeans for 18mths now (I've a couple of pairs) also I bought some Levi's Cycling Jeans and a pair of grey Jeans they had in there too, so I naturally wear them tight, not skinny but tight enough, turned up once.
I rock me.
Are they your sisters? 😉
i own 2 pairs of jeans- a pair of howies slim fit and a pair of uniqlo slim fit selvedge. planning on getting some hiut slim fit early next year. 32/30 for me. i also have some howies slim fit chinos. don't like the skintight fit stuff but dislike boot cut and big baggy jeans even more.
at the age of 44 i'm perfectly happy wearing such garments and don't really care what anyone else thinks/says about it being "appropriate dress" or whatever.
Get in vogue!
I'm in jeggings for the winter.
People who ride bikes can wear 501s? Won't go past my knees!
APC Petite Standards
Selvedge 511s
Careful now, that's the kind of talk that confuses people who get their mums to buy their clothes from next.
They probably think you misspelt 'salvage' and that means secondhand from oxfam shops 🙄
(strait cut Albam, Edwin Nashville or Ande Whall mustangs here)
Vintage 1955 Levis 501's and the extra wide 1920 201's
501s so that I fit in with the rest of the office. A suit or trousers would either scare them or make them think I was going to interviews.
As it happens, I spent yesterday trying to find another brand of jeans that fit in a way that I like, finally admitting defeat when I realised that everything is going "skinny" in the jeans world. Looks like my work attire is going to be 501s and Craghoppers for the forseeable future then.
Skinny, cos I'm young and can get away with it. Old people cannot
With age comes wisdom. In a few years you'll see some pictures of yourself wearing your skinny jeans and realise what a **** you look.
Mine are blue if that means anything. I don't know if they've got a poncy special 'cut' or 'shape'. I thought this stopped being important once you'd been through puberty?
😀
Think they're 501's all I know is I'm having to constantly sew them up, both pairs, split above the knee..
I'm sure riding in them wears them out at the knee. Just when they're beginning to look cool and faded..
ooh while I'm on, I read somewhere about some special weatherproof jean things, anyone heard of or tried them?
I wear jeans so tight you can see my plums winking at you.
I am 33.
I don't know if they've got a poncy special 'cut' or 'shape'.
God forbid clothing comes in descriptive sizes.
You see, at 32/30 I'd be seriously questioning the slim fit. 30/34 here32/30 for me. i also have some howies slim fit chinos
But what rise jeans do you all prefer? If there's an area of cut that's going mark you out as stylish or a follower of fashion then rise is just as important. It also doesn't do those with slightly odd body shapes (that's most of us) any favours.
Nothing worse than a middle aged hipster with lo rise skinnies who has a fat arse and a bit of a paunch.
If the rise is high enough and you have the legs for it then 'slim' dark indigo raw selvage jeans can look fine.
Just don't wear huge clumpy skate trainers 8)

Prefer low rise hipsters - high waist look horrendous, unless covered by a tee/shirt/jumper. Noooo, to the clumpy skate trainers (only with baggies) - I wear boots with straight legged jeans and canvas hi-tops with slim fit
One advantage to being shorter than all your kids is you get all their cast offs from their mid teens, it also helped that their preference was for a rather loose style & that i don't mind looking like a dick 😳
looking for some slim fit (not skinny), button fly, indigo jeans that are reasonably priced
not having much luck so far
jools182 - just find your nearest TKMaxx and see what they have in your size. I usually find something with a massive saving off RRP - and usually decent styles/labels too. Even saw some selvedge (not sure of brand) in there the other day.

Try Primark thats where mine came from 10 quids, good fit and look cool
MrSmith.. "but what cut do I prefer" Well I have to say it don't I.. Rapha for some reason or other have my cut. I've no idea where they pinched the cut from but I like it a lot. The cut is skinny/slim and not the other way around. Length is just perfect for 1 tunr up, and if you decide not to turn the leg up then they look just a little "ruffled" rather than "ruched" (like an Austrian Blind does)
Hugo Boss (I have a couple of pairs) Well I like thier cut and style and they're a teeny bit bigger than slim, but thats about 1/2 inch.. but the cottons sooo nice.
Binners.. My "lil Sis" is a Fat Girl, go forbid I ever fit in her Jeans, well I'd propably get me and MrsBouy in a pair of hers..
As far as Fashion is concerned, I just think, If you don't compromise the way you would like to look, then anything goes. If you try too hard, you fail.
As for seeing fat blokes in Skinny Jeans, can't honestly say I see a lot of that in That Larndarn, nope, most skinnies are worn by Hipsters and folks who can get away with it. Rarely do I see anyone trying too hard. Though on occasion I do see too much Tweed for my liking.

Primark? Cool? 😯
No way I'd get in a pair of Petite Standards so New Standards for me, but anything with a slimmish fit I can get my thighs into, slight taper or straight... APC, Edwin Sen, Albam, Edwin x Folk most of the time.
43 yrs young and a nice pair of ice blue topman skinny fit jeans.....in 38" waist, still got it 😆
levis 512, transitioning to 527s as they don't make 512s anymore 🙁
I've also migrated to 527s from 512s for the same reason as above.

Is this a troll? I cant tell.
A pair from Gap that fit me OK.
A 2nd hand pair of Diesel that cost me £6, but fit well, and some 501s that I can't ride in. But i rarely wear jeans, I'm more a beige corduroy and comfy cardigan man.
😀
Volcom surething, the best fitting jeans I have ever owned.
