Even with many jeans trends this autumn, skinny jeans are still in style and their revival in recent years is still strong, with celebs like Kate Moss and Scarlett Johansson still wearing them.
Skinnies started in the 1950’s and were popular with male stars like James Dean and Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn also wore them.
Now, skinnies don’t suit every one and just because they are still in don’t feel compelled to wear them. There are other styles that can also be flattering and better suit your body shape.
Celebs can wear skinny jeans with anything and get away with it but we have to work a bit harder.
There are different styles of skinny jeans like straight leg, skinny and extra skinny. The straight leg cut ones are not as clingy and are a good alternative if you don’t feel like wearing them fitted. I’ve got some tips to help you pull off a great skinny look:
- - Wear a skinny tucked into high boots. The chunkiness of the boots will make your legs look slimmer and help balance your hips and bottom.
- - High heel shoes will add height and create an illusion of longer legs. The best of both worlds is to wear heeled boots. Try stilettos and a floaty satin blouse for an evening look.
- - Avoid flat shoes, they will make chunky thighs look even bigger and exaggerates your butts and hips.
- - Dark colours have a slimming effect, so wear black, dark and grey jeans.
- - Chunky cardigans and voluminous tops paired with dark skinnies will make your legs look slimmer.
- - For a graceful elegant look, pair skinnies with long tunics and cardigans.
- - For a more fitted look, wear a belt on the hips.
