Fact: Jeans were so much better in my day. Srsly. Next time flares are in fashion, I am buying a LIFETIME SUPPLY. I had this great pair when I was fifteen, sixteen: low-rise, fit like a second skin from the hips to just above the knee and then flared out. Light blue with these cool pale sripes down the thighs, too. Very HELLO ARSE AND THIGHS, but with the flare to balance things out. I actually only threw them out last summer, even though they'd completely stretched and faded. WHATEVER. IF I LIKE CLOTHES I WEAR THEM UNTIL THEY FALL APART.

JEANS THESE DAYS SUCK. I tried on a stack of straight-cut and boot-cuts, but the only things I could find which are close-fitting enough in the arse/thighs department were skinnies. So I have skinnies. They are not *bad*. They are pretty damn awesome in the arse department - I think the only better jeans I've had since flares went out of fashion were these lovely stretch bootcuts I bought in first or second year, and which have since a) mysteriously become too small and b) completely fallen apart. Nevertheless, I resent the fact that one can no longer get jeans which are close-cut on the arse and nicely flared at the bottom. All the bootcuts these days are looser in the top half than they ought to be.

Jeans were better in *my* day.
