I think skinny jeans are only out with the teenagers. They make fun of their moms, but their current style is SO bad. It's a throwback to how bad our style was in the late 80s/early 90s.
So, I say buy what looks best on you. I tend towards skinny jeans or baby bootcuts. I have thin legs compared to my hips and I find that straight styles look too baggy on my legs, so I stick with something fitted to my legs.
TBH, one of my favorite pair of jeans right now is this one...so comfy.

Wit and Wisdom makes a great baby boot cut, but it's too short for my long legs. I go with Paige, pricier, but long enough for me (I need something with a 33-34" inseam).
