Does anyone still wear skinny jeans?

I think skinny jeans look awful because they create an optical illusion that elongates the torso and shortens the legs. This makes any woman who isn't naturally already super tall and thin with ultra-long legs look awkward. Also, the way they fit creates an upside-down wedge shape to the lower body even when the girl doesn't naturally have one. This is also not flattering on anyone because it makes it look like your legs, or, more specifically, your lower leg from the knee down, can't support the rest of you. Like you're balancing on pin-thin ankles.

I rock the **** out of them.. but alas, my hips and stomach are getting small enough that my calves don't fit in them if I want it to fit at the waist.

to each their own. but for me? That's a BIG HELL NO.

that depends on the one wearing it. I've seen some overweight people who can carry themselves well with it. you can still look awful even with a model type figure if you don't know how to carry it well.

What?!
1. I'm thin but not tall, my legs are quite long for my height
2. what is an upside down wedge?
3. my legs support me quite well
4. they look great on me, why wouldn't I wear them?

I've got plenty of boot-cuts and so on, but there's nothing like some well fitting skinny jeans to show off your lower body. Especially when you throw some good boots on.

I completely hated this trend, it just made it harder for me find jeans. Skinny jeans do not look good if you have big hips and thighs like me.

Brilliant! I was wondering the same thing!

yeah - why what else would you wear??

I do... they fit well in boots.

this is why I ever started wearing them in the first place! I wanted to wear tall boots

boots add some bulk to the foot/calf and balance the thighs...so this is really the ONLY way to wear skinny jeans well if you're not tall with long thin legs.

I do own one pair (although they are a size 3 and still 15 pounds away), and I will ONLY wear them with boots.

There' is ONLY one way to wear em well, huh? I'm not tall...& don't have thin legs...but skinny jeans give me a lot more shape than bootcut or flare...But you think I've been doing it wrong all along!? Thanks for letting me know!

I wear all kinds of jeans. I usually wear boots with my skinny jeans as I have muscular legs.
