A nice pair of skinny jeans is a great way to slim down your legs and show off or create the illusion of longer legs. These jeans are worn very close to the body and fit snugly all through the waist down to the ankles.
Skinny jeans need not be an expensive item as there are many varieties which are not necessarily designer labelled but still look great. All you need to do is window shop around long enough and you are sure to find something that is cheap but still looks good.
When looking for a pair of skinny jeans, make sure you find something which is snug but allows you to move around comfortably. You should also find darker colours as these create a more slimming effect as compared to brighter colours. Black, navy and grey are some of the options you should be leaning more towards.
For a nice final look, you can always pair your skinny jeans with:
- When worn with boots, the skinny jeans should be tucked in as this is the best look for them. If you do wear them with high heeled pumps, you should ensure they either reach your ankles or go all the way to the point where the shoe ends on the back of your leg.
- You can pair them with a large cardigan or knit sweater which is a rather chic casual style to work with.
- When wearing normal cotton, tunic or any other fabric top, find something which covers your upper thigh area and rear if you are a plus size. The top should preferably be loose fitting as you do not want to look as if all your clothes are too tight for you. The main idea is to balance out the tight skinny jeans with a loose top.
- You can accessorize with a belt to emphasize your waist by adding it on top of your blouse or top. This flatters your figure especially if you place the belt right on your natural waist.
Here are some very trendy pairs of skinny jeans which are easy on the pocket and can be worn in a variety of styles to spice up your look:
1. Solid Skinny Jeans Legging
This is a very simply designed pair of skinny jeans that feature stretch cotton for a comfortable fit. They have an elastic waist band which also contributes to the aforementioned comfort and a faux pockets and zipper detail on the front. Patch pockets are located at the back and you can get this pair in a solid navy denim colour, gray or black as per your preference.
A modest starting price of $4.50 from Hue is a pretty good bargain if I do say so myself.
2. Plus Size Olive Skinny Jeans
These skinny jeans are especially made with the plus size body in mind and feature a military-inspired look with cargo pockets on the side.
The material also provides for comfort with its spandex and cotton fabric which stretches to accommodate the wearer and is absorbent and breathes easily.
Small patches on the knee area add to the urban look of the skinny jeans and the colour itself is a rather unique one which deviates from the usual.
Torrid prices this great find at 9.97 and it should be an invaluable addition to any plus size girl’s wardrobe.
3. Ultimate Dark Denim with Rips Skinny Jeans
The design on this dark denim pair of skinny jeans is subtly faded over the front and back of the thighs running down the legs. It created a ripped illusion with its short white lines marked over the back pocket area and the upper front thigh area.
This would be a great addition to your wardrobe as it will match with almost any type of shoe or top/blouse and is also a good option for the plus sized ladies.
Reasonably priced at $9.99 by Boxed Gifts, this is definitely another great bargain and addition to your closet.
4. “May Flowers” Skinny Jeans
Pastry designs this pair of skinny jeans in either fuschia/purple or “eglet” which is a colour close to a white/grey combination.
It has an adjustable elastic waist band and is made from stretch material for extra comfort and has a button and zipper fly for closure. Its floral embroidery on the back pockets and logo embroidery on the hip along with the contrasting stitching create a girly look out of an otherwise plain pair of skinny jeans.
This would go really well with a pair of dark high heeled shoes or boots and a matching dark cardigan.
