It drives me nuts when people think that because the jeans are named "skinny" then they should only be worn by skinny people. Not true at all! Curvacious women are totally encouraged to show and be proud of their curves. I wear skinny jeans and I'm not a stick. Now, you need to know how to wear them... skinny jeans can look bad on skinny people if they don't wear them properly.
What are your views on this? |

Well, if a girl has chubby thighs or short legs, I don't think skinny jeans would look good on her. However, even if a girl has long and skinny legs, it doesn't mean she would look good in them either because it depends on how she matches her outfit with skinny jeans.

they're called skinny jeans because of the way they are cut and tapered (the legs get 'skinnier' towards the ankle) not because skinny girls should wear them.

True, true, lilliannnn.
I think confidence and the right fit is key. No matter what your size and shape, picking out the wrong fit can make anyone look strange. I keep replying in topics as they're being moved! Grrrr! |

They just look better on skinner people. I have yet to see a heavier person look good in skinny jeans.

The problem is skinny jeans are really what they are marketing to people.
So in a sense you kinda are forced to wear the skinny jean. But then again there are those people who feel that can pull off anything.. God bless them

Well, I don't mean to sound stereotypical but.. aren't the curvacious girls who wear skinny jeans usually more like skater-ish? The skinny girls who do wear skinny jeans are just making a statement that they are "fashionable."

i dont think skinny jeans look good on short legs.
curves look cute as long as it is the right fit, which goes for all body types i switch back and forth between skinny & normal, depending on the "look" i'm going for. |

What's the difference between skinny jeans and straight-leg jeans? I've always thought of skinny jeans are just jeans that aren't boot-cut jeans.
 I've never seen a really curvaceous person wear skinny jeans, but as long as the skinny jeans aren't skin-tight but more um...tubular? LOL. That is so not the right word. But yes. It could work with the right fabric and fit. |

Well skinny jeans just don't work on certain body types....definitely not on me because I have pretty short legs. Not necessarily a curvy person and not necessarily a skinny person...it just depends, also what you wear it with.

^ I agree! I have short legs and I think they lengthen my leg because they're no really visible cut off point... they just kinda make it look like your leg goes on forever. Whereas, flared jeans poof out and cut off the leg.

I've seen plenty of curvy girls rock the skinny jeans. Especially if they have a big ass lmao, it looks really nice. I dont like the way skinny jeans look on girls who are UBER skinny. It makes their legs look like sticks. As if I can take them and snap them in half.

they're pretty much the only kind of jeans i wear. i'm pretty curvy.
i dunno if people think they look good or not but i like them on me so i could care less. but i have absolutely no ass at all and they make me look like i have somewhat of one.but i wouldn't reccomend them for someone who's ass is already big, because it makes it look bigger. but they are definately for different types of people. |
