Skinny Jeans. Yes or No?

Started by Deb , author of Fresh Nest Design 2/1/2010 6:58:36 AM
When I heard skinny jeans were back, I about fainted.  How am I, a mom with ample hips, supposed to wear skinny jeans?

But then my friend Allison from Petit Elefant posted this awhile back and convinced me it was possible to be curvy and look good in skinny jeans. 

Just wondering.... do you do the skinny jeans?

{Cause to be honest, I haven't purchased any yet}

Nope, I totally disagree. Skinny jeans look amazing on women without curves, but for women like me who have a bit of a pear shape, they only make me look wider! Very, very wide. I don't like baggy jeans so I stick to boot cut. They have narrow enough legs so you can tuck them into tall boots if you want to. I'd say unless you're built like a stick, stay away from skinny jeans...

Sure, but worn as the original post shows.  I'm fairly curvy and I have a pair that I wear with a long tunic shirt and boots.  In that sense they're basically standing in as leggings or tights.

I think you have to try on many many pairs to get the perfect fit, but once you find that fit--GO FOR IT!  But, it really is one of those things that take a lot of time and effort to find the right pair for you.  

I have to admit, I've always figured I was too hippy for skinny jeans. I love my curves, but I never felt like trying to squeeze them into a pair. No skinny jeans for me, but maybe I'll have to try now! :)

I do not do skinny jeans.  Every now and then something is worth being uncomfortable for, but for me skinny jeans are not it.

I'm curvy, but not full figured. I do wear skinny jeans on occasion. And I like them, but I am a mom, and while I don't consider myself 'frumpy' or out of style, I think skinny jeans are kind of a teen-thing for the MOST part. But, if you want to wear skinny jeans, as long as you don't have a muffin top (bbecause skinny jeans accent it) then I say go for it!!

Am I the only one who thinks skinny jeans look good on nobody? I mean, NO-BOD-Y. Skinny, fat, tall, short, stick, pear, apple, hourglass, whatever. While I have seen some people look less awful than others, I have yet to see a figure that is actually flattered by skinny jeans. Maybe I just haven't seen anyone who knew how to pair them properly with the right top or right shoes, but I honestly think they are God-awful. They're worse than those belted shirt-dresses that made their way back into style last spring (from 1984). You know? The ones you wear with leggings and flats. Flats. Those are awful, too.

Nope not even once.  I am not a skinny jeans wearer.  Maybe in my next life hehe.  I don't believe in that either.
