HAVING trawled the shops with my normal-sized daughter in search of decent jeans or trousers I can confidently say that high street designers have gone completely mad.

There is now a far greater proliferation of “skinny” jeans in all kinds of styles and materials than ever before – even though the majority of female UK rears don’t look good in this skintight style.

I have no idea what happened to all the rest of the straight leg or bootcut jeans and trousers as few are available to buy anywhere.

Men don’t seem to suffer from this problem so why do women?
