Who should wear skinny jeans?
I’ve been talking about skinny or tapered jeans since December of 2005 (Gawd. Has it been that long?) and it’s only late last year did I see people here in Manila started wearing them (with justice and regularly).
I’ve even suggested some styling tips on how you can possibly maximize owning a pair or pulling off a look that the skinny, somehow, promises AND, not to mention, how to taper jeans!
Now, let me give a few more pointers on the matter — this time I want to focus on who should wear it and end up still looking fabulous.
- Women with boyish frames. The slender cut at the calves creates curves to the hips and the buttocks area, which helps emphasize the feminine traits of your body.
- Short or petite girls. This kind of jeans has a long-leg line, which adds height.
- Long-legged women. Since it highlights the legs, it is an advantage to have
- Supermodel tall and skinny women. ‘Nuff said.
Please note, though. Women with pear-shaped bodies and have slightly off-the-scale thighs should avoid (at all cost!) wearing these. Never mind that it’s trendy and chic, it simply will never work to your benefit. Trust me. ;)

Trust you? Anyone can pull off wearing the skinny jeans as long as you know what to wear it with. I am pear-shaped and I am proud to say that I look good in skinny jeans!

Hi, Kat. Oh, I’d love to see you in skinny jeans! Can you send me a photo so I can feature you? I reckon with that I’d be happy to correct myself. :)

Once again,cutting curvy women out of the mix.
Long flowy shirts and skinny jeans looks GREAT on curvy women! Im offended by your rude remarks about pear shaped women wearing skinny jeans.
