Can I Wear Skinny Jeans? What Do I Wear With Them?
April 18, 2008 Permalink
Q. I love your website, you have excellent fashion advice. I have a question about skinny jeans, well a few questions really! I love the look of them, but do you have to be a size 2 to pull it off? I'm a size 6/8 with a booty. What tops are best to wear with them? And what about shoes? Are flats ok? They seem to make your feet look bigger but heels aren't practical everyday.- Skinny on Jeans
A. A girl doesn't have to be a size 2 to wear skinny jeans, but she does need to have minimal curves in order not to emphasize a triangle effect - meaning looking much bigger around hips and butt while looking skinny around the ankles. Generally a variety of top styles work, but to help slim the look, avoid billowy tops. Shoes will depend on the head to toe look. And true, flats can be tough to pull with skinny jeans. Just remember that all trends do not work for all people and you should dress in what suits your figure best.

I feel like this question and answer was specifically directed at me. This is why I don't wear skinny jeans. Ah, the dreaded triangle effect. [sigh]
