Big, Baggy Cuffed Jeans on Celebs - Will you do it?

KathGrace · Aug 29th, 2008, 11:08 AM

I remember when this was in the FIRST Time around. Pegging jeans. Granted, it is slightly different than the 80's but not by much, in my opinion.

I brushed it off when Katie did it. Bilson, too. But now Reese? The only version of this I saw as somewhat acceptable was on Jennifer A., and she rarely does wrong. Course, that's how I always felt about Reese. So - do you love it? Hate it? Will you wear it?

For those of you who can't wait to roll, the "how-to" link is attached - first, what seemed to be the original 'peg' or 'pinch' via ehow http://www.ehow.com/how_2001590_pinch-roll-jeans.html and second, the modernized version that details the jean fit - can be found on denimblog.com

In case anyone is interested, most of the time celebs are wearing the Current/Elliott Baggy Boyfriend Jean.

I hate it. My legs can look short and stubby without any extra help.

I hate this look. It makes their legs look short and stubby, even long-legged Katie Holmes. No thanks! There are much cuter ways to be comfortable.

Three words: Not a chance. I just don't like this look at all.

eckertle · Aug 29th, 2008, 07:18 PM

No way!

pippop · Aug 29th, 2008, 07:43 PM

No. People might argue that they're comfortable, but there are plenty of comfortable clothes that don't make my legs look about two feet shorter.

NoraV · Aug 29th, 2008, 07:49 PM

I like it. A nice alternative to wearing skinny jeans all the time.

Melissa71 · Aug 29th, 2008, 07:50 PM

Not a chance, I think it looks sloppy and unflattering. If it makes these super slender actresses look like that, I don't want to think how it would look on me. LOL

bagdoll · Aug 29th, 2008, 07:50 PM

why would anybody want to look that ugly and sloppy... Katie Holmes looks the worst.

lunatwinkle · Aug 29th, 2008, 07:51 PM

No way at all. Plus I'm a short 5'2'', so this'll make me look even shorter!

Leelee · Aug 29th, 2008, 08:11 PM

Never, never, never. That trend came around before in the mid 1980's, if I remember my years correctly, and they weren't flattering even way back then.

We called them "paper bag jeans" at the time.

HauteMama · Aug 29th, 2008, 08:16 PM

I agree that it isn't flattering in the least, even on thin, long-legged celebrities, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for pegging jeans after living through the first trend. Of course, that doesn't mean I will wear it!

pisdapisda79 · Aug 29th, 2008, 08:20 PM

Absolutely not, I think it looks horrible

KristyDarling · Aug 29th, 2008, 08:23 PM

If these jeans look THAT god-awful on the beautiful (and skinny) celebrities posted above, then people will run away screaming and crying if *I* ever put them on.

Anything that can make Rachel Bilson look big is a big NO for me!
