I have a problem with skinny jeans…

They just don’t work on me. Skinny jeans are like a puzzle I can’t figure out. I see the outfits on celebrities and in magazine that look wonderful, but on me it just looks awkward and I feel uncomfortable. Maybe I will always be stuck in the late 90s, but I think boot cut or wide leg jeans are so much more flattering on pretty much everyone.

    Oh, I think you look cute! But I totally know what you mean, I feel exactly the same way in my skinny jeans- like they are just not flattering!

    Skinny jeans are overhyped. Unless you’re a stick or wearing a tunic/balloon empire-wasted shirt, bootcut or wide-leg jeans are best. They make your hips and waist look so much smaller!! :)

    i think they look good! Personally, I think unless one is tall, flared or wide-leg jeans make people look sort of…frumpy.

    bootcut or stovepipe are okay though. i think i’m too old to wear the flared look.

    I like the look of skinny jeans but can’t seen to pour myself into them. I did find a pair from Seven that was somewhat comfortable. But, they look so good with boots…. sigh…

    I actually think you look really nice in your skinny jeans! Give ‘em another chance :)

    That looks like an adorable outfit, but then I know the horror of trying to work skinny jeans. They make me feel like a sausage - or rather two sausage legs. And then trying to find a shirt that doesn’t give me the pregnant diamond look…
    By the way, those boots are lovely.

    I love a good skinny jean.. and I think that that pair looks good on you. And because I say so, they do!
    I like the outfit, but I think if you paired them with a nice pump, then it might be a bit more balanced. Sexy jeans= sexy shoe!

    Skinny jeans aren’t for everyone and that’s ok! People should wear what looks good on them.

    But I agree, a pump always makes you us look longer and slimmer!

    hey, skinny jeans are always hard to find, because you need them to fit PERFECTLY- you should check out House de Lux in NYC- they’ve got skinny jeans and they fit so wonderfully!
