Women shouldn't wear wide leg jeans

Maybe the odd boot-cut but that's as far as it should go.

but they are my favourite pair... I'll never get rid of them, but I guess they are "round the house" jeans now
I think it depends on the look for these jeans anyway - I am tempted to try a pair - I am little miss straight with no hips to speak of - this style might at least fake a pair of hips for me and give me a little shape, much like the high-waisted skirts do.
And it's not like you can't cover the highwaistedness with a top
