I love the look of skinny jeans and boots but I have big hips and I think it kinda looks funny on me.

Anyone else have this problem or have some fashion advice. I'm pretty awful at dressing myself :smile:

    Buy jeans. Wash jeans. Put on jeans. Put on boots.

    You are now wearing skinny jeans and boots.

    Love,

    A chick with a big booty who wears boots with her skinnies.

    Agreed. I like Target's curvy fit for skinny jeans.

    I do the sweetheart cut from Old Navy. Fits the booty and gives me the satisfaction of out of this world vanity sizing. Why yes, I am a size 2/4, how did you know?

    Show enough cleavge and no one will notice :)

    On a more serious note, find the right top to balance the outfit and you should be fine.
  • If I can put my two cents in; I have NEVER cared much about body looks/weight etc except for a woman's face. It is kind of a deal breaker and is the pinnacle of my sexual attraction at least...

    The whole 'hair color' thing (blondes blondes hurr durr) is so stupid it's sad. So called breast size is also irrelevant to me. Of course different strokes you know, but personally I would just go easy on the make up and SMILE.

    I'm really genuinely stumped as to what this has to do with the OP wanting to know if skinny jeans with boots is something other curvy women wear. Not everything is about looking nice for some dude nor is every post about clothes about attracting men.

    ^^^ Agree. I don't dress for men. If I was dressing for men I'd probably just wear yoga pants....

    I think wrap dresses look lovely.
    With tights too, if you're not comfortable showing off your pins.

    Yeah, skirts or dressing with leggins and boots is a good look for fall too.

    ETA: Leggins are NOT pants.

    So am I (25" thighs, 41" hips, 29" waist, 35" bust). My thighs and butt are huge. Boot cut jeans aren't hiding them. Might as well wear the skinnies.

    Then you could take from his post that just because you have big hips does not mean you can't pull off the look. As in it would not bother him.

    But a tunic/Extra Long sweater and leggings is super cute!

    As long as you keep your bum covered.

    Correct.

    And honestly I'm become more accepting of the "leggins as pants" movement but I still don't fully approve.

    Do skinnies make your thighs and butt look huge or are your thighs and butt huge? Because mine are just big. Straight leg, boot cut, skinny jeans...big is big. Ain't nothing to do about it but embrace it.

    I agreed with all that was said, but, WOW! I wear yoga pants, but not for men. I wear them because I like them and because they don't gape at the waist... and because want to.

    LOL! I just said that because it is one article of clothing that all my guy friends seem to agree is "hot" It's a win-win.

    I will! Just wish it was cooler out so it looked more appropriate. Wearing boots in 85 degree weather is sweaty
