How to Wear Skinny Jeans

Skinny is in! No, I’m not talking about the skinny models, but about the skinny jeans and leggings, which are back with a bang from the ‘80s. Now your favorite pair of boot cut denims and wide-legs have taken the backseat in today’s fashion scenario. Skinny jeans are body hugging and don’t have any flare at the hem. Leggings are body hugging too same, but made of a thinner material, like lycra, cotton etc.

 

Skinny Jeans

 

Called with various other names, like cigarette pants, drainpipes, skinny pants, etc, skinny jeans have made a huge comeback the last couple of seasons. It definitely doesn’t seem like a style that’s about to go back into hiding because ladies around the world are definitely loving it. Made of classic denim combined with nylon, these jeans are meant for women who want to look slim in the leg area.

 

The elasticity of the skinny jeans gives you the advantage of taking off a few pounds from your legs. Well, not literally but “figuratively” (all puns intended!). It also tucks in your tummy, to make you look slimmer around the middle section as well. Apart from the elasticity, depending on the pattern of the fade and the shade (a rhyme to keep in mind!) your legs can end up looking considerably slimmer. Here are some tips for you:

 

1. For the Petite Girl: If you are petite, then you can wear the skin tight skinny jeans with a 10’’ leg opening. Top your jeans with trendy blouses like bell sleeved or dolman-sleeved tops and tunics and you’re all set to go. Skinny jeans will always look great on you babe.

 

2. For the Heavier Girl: If you are of a heavier build, go for the fade and shade pattern in a dark blue or even black. This will give the appearance of a much slimmer figure. Wear a longer belted tunic over your jeans to camouflage your heavy thighs if you like.

 

3. Shoe Rules: Always wear high heeled shoes with pointed toes with your skinny jeans to give you the appearance of having long, never ending legs. Of course they look incredibly cute with the ballerina flats as well. So if you’re going dressy, I’d pick the heels and the flats for a casual day of fun. If you have heavy calves, then wear tall boots over your jeans. They’re a brilliant disguise and look super hot.
