Topic: Wide-Leg or Skinny Jeans?


	i.heart.ballet.flats Feb 10, 2008	Which do you think is more flattering?
	catie Feb 10, 2008	i think it depends on your body type and prefrence also what kind of tone you have if you have for instance a muscular dancers body or gymnasts body then skinny jeans are good . wide leg jeans are great for runners and soccer players becuse they have the muscle to pull them off without drowing in them
	guerrilla_girl Feb 13, 2008	i'm a big fan of wide-leg pants,imlike to wear them with flats and jackets. but also skinny when i wear boots (specially with over the knee boots) and long t-shirts or oversized shirts &sweaters.
	hgoggans Feb 18, 2008	I'm a fan of the wide leg pant myself. But I tend to agree with the group, different shapes of pants look better on different people and with different clothing/shoes. What I love is that we have such a variety to choose from!
	eselle Feb 22, 2008	Totally depends on the body!!!! For me I love skinny, but I got the hips of a grandma!!!! Also, depends what your style is. Wide leg strikes me for maturity while the skinny is for the more youthful... Either of which is fine and cool! My personal fave is straight cut... Sorta an in between of the two!
	sabrinafair Apr 7, 2008	I think both styles are designed for very specific body shapes/types. If you have long, very skinny (even "chicken legs") pins then skinny jeans look exceptional on you because they add shape. I think they look better on a petite, athletic body and they don't do anything for girls with big hips (like me!!!). I think they're best for girls who are skinny and looking to add shape. Wide leg jeans come in two styles - there's a "man" style that looks best on girls with flat hips and a more male/athletic body - i.e. waist and hips are similar size. Wide leg trouser style jeans are great for balancing out bigger hips/thighs as they work alot like bootcut/flares, and will give your body a bit more proportion. Get them in dark denim and team them with eye catching fitted structured shirts/blouses and they look hoooooot!!
	eselle Apr 7, 2008	I agree with you there 100% sabrinafair! Well said!!!
	rjbrew Sun, Jan 11	I am a recent lover of skinny jeans. I think, like most jeans, you have to find the right pair. I tried on tons of different brands and styles until I found the ones that flattered my body types the best. Now, I love them and wear them all the time. Unfortunately, the only ones I found that were flattering were more expensive. BUT..good news: Rue La La and Gilt Group are always running sales on Seven Jeans and Joe and Citizens!! Thats where I ended up buying mine. If anyone doesnt know what that is...I can send you an invite....its the greatest shopping thing ever! That being said.....I think girls with thin frames can wear skinny's with heels, flats, boots and any type of shirt and be fine. A top thats too tight however can make a thin girl look skanky. There is something to be said for skinny jeans and curvy girls...they can be your best friend if you've got a great tunic: you've hidden your hips and accentuated your legs! I think peeps forget about that sometimes.
