    Hip dip

    ...seems similar, or stemming from the same issue. (notice I did not say flaw/problem, to me noone in their right mind would find the second girl unnattractive and i found NUMEROUS pictures celebrating this figure feature.

    I pretty much look like this girl with slightly smaller boobs and slightly smaller thighs. Same tummy, same hipbones

    In all clothing, wear styles that flatter your body. You can still be stylish and you will look and feel much more attractive. Different styles work better on different body types. I think we cause ourselves all kinds of unnecessary grief trying to make ourselves into something we are not.

    The only brand that fit me and look very good is the brand I find at Macy's in the junior department. They are called Celebrity Pink jeans .I have about 8 pair in various colors.I wear a size 6 in pants in women. In junior I wear a 9 or 11 depending on the cut.

    I get compliments all the time when I wear my celebrity pink skinny jeans and have been told that I look very sexy in them. The material is made of cotton and spandex.

    I did not have luck with other skinny jean brands so when Im in Macy's and I see a different color I always pick up a pair. Also Macy's seems to always have them on sale!!

    I am guessing you have not done any weight training? That type of exercise makes an attractive body shape.

    I work 12 hours a day pushing a mower and swinging around a line trimmer. I have 20% BF. No time or energy for weight training

    You're a size 26 and have 20% body fat??

    I can't see how this is true.

    Probably 26-inch waist.

    Then you don't have time for fashion either.

    Nonsense! Just because someone doesn't do what you do doesn't mean they don't have a right to enjoy fashionable clothing. Weight-lifting is not the only approach to beauty or health.

    By the way, when I was in my 20's, I had shoulders like yours, dracarys, not because I spent time at gym but because I was a wildland firefighter and just working hard and lugging 50 lb hose packs up mountains. Muscle tone used to be an indication of hard physical work, not hours at a gym.

    Hard bodies on women are relatively new definition of beauty and not a prerequisite to looking good or wearing good looking clothing.

    I prefer straight-leg or bootcut jeans, even though I've never had saddlebags or a dip. Just because skinny jeans are a current trend doesn't mean other options aren't fashionable. Go shopping OP and find something that makes you feel good.

    Wide Leg.

    I think a lot of people look like crap in skinny jeans. I dont know if they do not realize it? or just because its a fad, does not mean everyone should follow it.


    ^This! I don't like women in skinny jeans unless they have nice bum and legs. Most often it is fashion driven and it is pathetic to see women with flat *kitten* wearing them.

    I like straight leg, mid rise jeans. They're a nice middle ground between 'mom' jeans and skinny, low rider jeans. Lands End also sells a slim leg style that has a trimmer fit thru the legs but aren't painted-on tight.

    Bootcut went out of fashion? No one told me. Good thing I don't care about fashion trends, I just wear what looks good on my figure. Hell, I'd wear flares if I could find some.

    Lol. Other girls ask me how my arms got so ripped. They kind of get disappointed when I say it's from 6 hours of line trimming a day

    Yeah jean sizes are different. I wear size 24, that is the equivalent to size 00 pants in the same store.

    There are people who are a size six who shouldn't wear skinny jeans. Everyone's body is accentuated with different cuts. For me, personally, I do best with a mid-waist, boot-cut. If I go the skinny jean route, they can't be super low-cut because I've had a kid. Also, the only skinny jeans I have are from high school, so unless I'm small enough to fit into those ones, I don't dare. I also love pants with a slight flair, especially ones that aren't jeans.

    My favorite jeans are dark blue boot cut (as I mentioned). I also have a pair of light blue skinny jeans, and I wear them in the winter tucked into my fluffy, warm, waterproof boots that keep my feet toasty warm and feeling like I am walking on clouds that are as soft as fluffy kittens. I think skinny jeans are intended to be worn with boots. And they do look good that way. I turn heads.

    So glad to find out many women are like me liking the boot cut pants, yes, I think I look the best in boot cuts. Straight cut is also good. I do own a few pairs of skinny jeans, I love to wear them during the winter just like BinaryPulsar said. I found Express and INC from Macy's are the best for me. Maybe you can look into them?
