Dear Curvy Ladies,
You don't have to be "skinny" to wear skinny jeans despite what the fashion industry says. Now I don't agree with squeezing into something that's just not your size. Anyone who knows me can tell you my legs...especially my calves were not made for most pants period! Especially ones made for 5"10 waif models. However, I like to think of myself as a model regardless...after all life is a runway show...well ok...I'm may be stretching it, but NYC is definitely a catwalk...my catwalk.
Here's the tricky part...now IF you can manage to get yourself into a pair of skinny's like I did...eventhough to be honest...I had someone pick me up from the waist like a puppet to get in them...the KEY to curvy girls and skinny jeans is proportion. In other words balance your top with the bottom.
DO:
Wear a heel to add length to your legs
Wear an oversized flowy waist length sweater if you want to show off the rump, so that the fullness on top balances the bottom to make it look thinner
Layer tops to create balance as well
DON'T:
Wear an ankle or knee high boot that's too high and cuts off the length of your legs
Wear a shirt that's too long that will also cut off your length
Wear a shirt that's too long that will also cut off your length
A top too small and too tight that will make your skinny jeans not look so skinny
Go get skinny wit it!
