Skinny jeans are certainly the trend of the season and still, many girls seem to be intimidated by them. What if you're curvy? What if you have short legs? Never fear, there is a flattering way for everyone to rock Skinnies -- The main ingredient is confidence!
A. No matter what your body-type is, skinny jeans look best worn with voluminous blouses, tunic-style tops and layers. Anything tiny, or midriff baring is a definite DON'T. If your thighs are considerably larger than your calves, buy your jeans 1 size larger to avoid a 'Baseball Bat' effect. Unless you are tall & slender, do not wear your skinnies with flats. Vertically challenged or curvier gals look best tucking their skinnies into high-heeled boots or pairing them with some pointy-toed pumps to create an optical illusion.
