Skinny Jeans - Making skinny jeans look slimmimg
I am quite big, well fat really, and I really really want to wear skinny jeans. My mum says no though because they will make me look bigger. Is this true? Is there a way I can wear them without making me look bigger?
Skinny jeans can be a tough trend to get right, but they’re not impossible! The trick is to simply stick to the rules. Do that and you’ll be looking at hot as skinny jean queen.
Rule 1: Wear jeans that are your size. No one knows the size you wear apart from you, and if it bothers you, just cut the tag out! Squeezing yourself into a smaller size is just plain uncomfortable AND a sure fire way to create the dreaded ‘Muffin Top’ that skinny jeans are prone to emphasize. Embrace your body and treat it well by letting it wear the right size – you will look better for it, we promise.
Rule 2: Don’t wear tight with tight. Skinny jeans are called ‘skinny’ because of the slim line of the leg NOT because you have to be a certain size to wear them. Proportion is key to success with this style. The perfect combination is skinny jeans with a tunic or blouse – the extra fabric in the top balances out the uber tight jeans and disguises a ‘muffin top’.
Rule 3: Choose jeans in dark washes. Light washes tend to emphasis size and shape, so stick with dark denim, like Jennifer Hudson, to disguise any problem areas.
Rule 4: Don’t cut yourself short. Full length skinny jeans are the most flattering – so that means not ¾ or pedal pusher styles, please! If you want to elongate your legs and look slimmer at the same time, heels are also a good option.
Rule 5. Experiment with styling. How your bestie wears her jeans might look great on her, but it can be different to how they will look good on you. Your style is an expression of your individuality and creativity and you should embrace that and wear the clothes that make you feel great!
And just so it’s crystal clear, here are our ingredients for a flattering skinny jean ensemble. Go out and work it!
1. Extreme Skinny from Levis $99.90
2. Stud Tiffany heels from Wildpair $99.90
3. Pink tunic from Glassons $39.90
