(16,031 posts)Back when we were going out dancing three or four times a week, it had to be boot cut. And some of the western clothing stores tailored the fit for women as well as men. It's been years since I could dance, and the boots had to go per doctor's orders. So, nowadays it's what fits, feels good, and doesn't look funny. Fashion plate I am not.

(9,425 posts)Some of today's flares are about the size of the boot-cuts around the ankles and legs, however not all of them are.
I needed new sized jeans in October of 2023 and I momentarily went with skinny jeans. In the beginning of August I got my boot-cut jeans out to see what new size I needed. I just don't like the extra material around my ankles and the bottom of my legs since I've been wearing skinny jeans for almost a year now.
I explained my issue about the boot-cut/skinny jeans to my SO and he stated that he liked the skinny jeans on me better compared to the boot-cut.
My other gripe about boot-cuts is my regular store only has high waist or high high waist in boot-cut. I don't need my jeans going up to my breasts. I prefer medium waist pants.
I'm also losing weight so my body is changing and what once covered up problem areas is no longer a problem area.
I'm definitely going to need new jeans again soon. I find it exhausting shopping for clothing that both actually fits and that is in supply.
