No to Tapered Jeans?

by Sasha Manuel on January 18th, 2006

No? You cannot be serious.

I saw the ambush make-over thing at Oprah the other day. I think the show’s called, Look 10lbs Thinner, Instantly! There were two stylists who were doing the thing and they said something on the show that really struck me. Never wear Tapered Jeans. Yes. They told Oprah that those european designers are just trying hard to introduce a new thing and this pair is not and will never be fashionable. Ever.

Ever? Uh-oh.

What are tapered jeans, you may ask. Well, they’re the ones that are skinny at the calf-section. I’ve written something about it before so you can actually have a visual of what it generally looks like. Go have a look.

I have to admit that they have good taste but I guess their imagination didn’t stretch as far as to include using Tapered Jeans in their styling. Anyway, after a few days, I find myself reading once more about why you shouldn’t wear this pair of jeans. It’s an article from The Cavalier Daily. Great insights about fashion and self-esteem, intertwined. However, I really wouldn’t take fashion advise from someone who resorts to wearing sweatpants everyday, now would I?

I wonder what they were wearing during the 80’s. Teehee. And what would Stella and the rest of the well-known european designers think? Oh, well. I reckon not all women [and men, too] are suitable to wear this kind of jeans. I guess if you’re pear-shaped, short-legged, or you have thick ankles, or if you wear it with mocassins [I cringe at the mere thought of it. Ack.], then you stay away from Tapered Jeans.

See what Stacy London has to say on how you can find the perfect pair of jeans.
