    Who hates drainpipe jeans and "look at my feet" flat shoes that every single girl seems to be wearing now?

    Looks something like this..

    Its bad enough seeing one girl wearing the two, but every day i see groups of girls all wearing the same jeans and shoes in different colours.

    I think some very small, very skinny girls can pull it off, but personally i only wear skinny jeans with boots.

    Hate the jeans, love the shoes.

    I've always like pretty flats but you usen't to be able to get them anywhere. I'm in my element at the moment. I usually wear them with bootleg jeans or straight leg trousers.

    Skinny jeans look awful on anyone with even a whipser of a thigh.

    Skinny jeans are evil.....unless you have Kate Moss legs then go for it. Love the shoes though, I'm a big fan, so comfy.

    I thought I was the only one who thought they looked silly. Not flattering at all, ladies.

    Think it's a terrible look. Not even nice on Kate Moss unless she's wearing a long top/dress over the jeans and then, well, what's the point of the jeans in the first place??

    I'm male, this is about the most unattractive style I've seen women get into in the past 10 years. Very very [no] few women can pull it off. Skinny jeans and some slight heels, "yes please", flats, "were you a pixies in a past life?" "are your feet the size they look?... 9's?"...

    If i wear skinny jeans casually I wear a 1-1.5' heal with them.

    What I think look really bad is when the jeans are too long for the wearer and they get all ripped at the bottoms, it loks very trashy.

    Indeed this is a horrible look, what are the ladies of Ireland thinking. Skinny jeans and boot on the other hand....... quality stuff.

    Look awful. Exposed feet with flats make them look like flippers.

    Looking at girls wearing these "flats" for a while and from a male perspective they look terrible. Very unattractive.

    Not quite as bad when the jeans are long enough for the wearer?

    It's a bit too everywhere, but still way better and classier than those horrible filthy fake/real UGG boots every second girl seems to be wearing imo! I saw two girls wearing them today and they were tinged green with dirt.

    Well the good news is that skinny jeans are apparently on the way out and kickflare jeans are on the way back in. thankfully. HATE skinny jeans, personally I think they look ridiculous even on the most stunning of figures. As for the flipper effect - yeuch!

    They've been saying skinny jeans are on the way out for the past couple of years :rolleyes:

    I love skinny jeans and pumps. As long as you've got the figure for it I think it looks dainty and pretty and ballerina-like :D

    Yeah, it looks ok like that although it always looks silly to see a group of girls wearing the exact same look, and I've seen it done with this combo.
