Wearing Skinny Jeans (Big Girl Style): The Juicy Details on the New Trend

Wearing Skinny Jeans (Big Girl Style): The Juicy Details on the New Trend

Skinny jeans…are they for a specific person or sex? Are they for the scantily skinny- the flamboyantly gay? So many questions. Not enough answers. Oh, the horror! We see them everywhere…and on everyone: celebs, models and even, ugh, kids? Yes, I did see them on three-year olds (a couple of times).

I’ve researched the topic as well as had some, ergh, well run ins with some skinny-jeans-gone- wrong-victims. First off, I’d like to address the “juicy haters”. I’ve read a few blogs that were just bashing anyone of thicker descent who wore skinny jeans. Me no likey that. Don’t get me wrong some plus sized gals shouldn’t wear certain cuts of jeans but by no means does it have to do with their weight. It all has something to do with the person’s body type.

I wish that people would get this out of their mind. Not all skinny people can wear everything. Period. Sorry. It is a fact. The same goes for medium people with big boobs, short people with stumpy legs, stick figures with no curves and so on. People need to dress for their bodies. True? Just because something is a fad- like said skinny jeans- doesn’t mean that you can be a part of it. Yes, I know it hurts. But you’ll get over it.

So, I will show you how (and how not) to do a skinny jean.

Always have to start with the bad first:

 
This girl looks like a hot mess (I do give her props for trying though). First off, she pairs these jeans with a frumpy dress shirt and a pair of “fugly” shoes. Her body type seems to be fairly pear shaped as well. This might not be a good cut for her. She needs a jean that will balance her top (hips) and bottom (calves and legs) out. I would recommend a boot cut jean, dark denim.

Now let’s go to the oh-so-fab Marie Claire fashion columnist, Ashley Falcon:

Love. Love. And loving it some more. There is nothing that I can say badly about this outfit. She has great angles and proportions to give her a slim line from the top of her head down to the bottom of her shoe. Her legs look super long and slim. The skinny jeans work perfectly in proportion to the boy cut blazer. She adds a pop of color with her blouse peeping out from underneath. Not too many embellishments with the necklace and clutch.

See. Skinny jeans can go right if you know what you are doing. Know your body and work it all together with a large heaping of confidence. A juicy girl’s most coveted asset.
