Out With The Skinny Jeans!
-
So the time has finally arrived when I can safely say that yes, skinny jeans are finally out and I am soooo happy! I’ve never really been a big fan of skinny jeans and let’s face it; they do NOT flatter most people unless you’re wearing 5-inch heels, which most of us aren’t….they don’t complement your figure.
So if you were one of those people sporting the skinny jeans, you can slowly say your goodbyes and move on to bigger and better things such as the wide-leg jeans, which I am a fan of. Not only do wide-leg jeans look better on everyone, but they’re so much easier to wear! Since they don’t shrink at the bottom and they flare out, it will give the illusion of a longer, thinner silhouette. You can wear these babies with flip-flops, chunky heels and even wedges, they’ll still look good!
Since the wide-leg jean just came back in fashion, I would suggest going and trying on different styles to see which ones better suit you. Grab a dark pair for when you go out at night and a light pair for during the day.
My favorite combination is a wide-leg pant with a puffy-sleeve or a billowy top and a pair of wedges. This look will work almost anytime anywhere. Just add some accessories and you’re good to go!
But either way, I am extremely happy that skinny jeans are no longer a go, and I can finally bid my goodbyes!!

Actually, skinny jeans are one of the few jeans that do compliment my figure. Wide flare jeans make me look shorter than my already short body is.

the skinny jean. It all depends on the kind of figure you are, let’s be honest “skinny” jeans are great for decently “skinny” figures, it give them presence and curves(sizes 0-4). On the other hand it shouldn’t be worn with people who are to curvy around the thighs,legs,waist, and yes even body- at times it give them a flatter butt and looks tightning around the legs and seemingly unproportational, it gives them the a wider & bigger image, oh it also shows the extra baggage around the tummy & sides. With bigger curves&weight, trousers & wide leg jeans would work perfectly- giving the illusion of taller legs and less weight.

I actually like skinny jeans on me….they make my legs look longer and compliments my curves. I sometimes wear wide flare jeans but to me they are going out of style.

Actually, skinny jeans are still a main staple of designers’ summer lines. I always get compliment when I wear mine, and honestly wide-leg jeans or high-waist jeans are harder for people to pull off than skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are sexy, the jeans in the pictures above remind me of mom jeans!

Skinny jeans are still in, yes. But they’re only for skinny people with no curves. Trust me.
I might try the wide-leg. Interesting. I’m always fashion forward.
July 20, 2008 at 5:49 pm
i LUV skinny jeans they compliment my figur since im on the slim side and kinda tall.i also like wide legs too but they jus make me look like a stick unfortunateley.
July 26, 2008 at 5:08 pm
skinny jeans are cool! Wide leg jeans arent as awsome.
July 27, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I am going to have to disagree with the statement that skinny jeans are OUT. SKINNY JEANS are hott. You don’t have to wear 5 inch heels to make skinny jeans look hott. Wide leg jeans are hott too but they complient peoples figures less… trust me! If you dont have height on you then it will make you look shorter or wider. You must make sure your wide legs complient you because there are a variety of different widths of wideness. But wear whatever makes you happy and makes you feel good. I’ll be wearing my skinny jean until whenever.

Skinny jeans look good on all figures except for extremely obese people. Ive seen them on skinny women, average women, and bodacious women. They look good. Boot-cut jeans are out of style. I hate them. Wide leg jeans make women look like total and complete idiots. Whats the need for shoes if everybody wants around with those things.. might as well walk around with shoe boxes on your feet if youre rocking wide-legs!

I think you should post some actual links that show “Skinny Jeans” are out for fall 2008. Everywhere I look, the stores are showing new Skinny Jeans for Fall. Those high wasted, wide leg jeans you show in your examples make short and wide figures look worse than Skinny Jeans ever could.

–Common Sense
What are you talking about??
Boot Cut denim are permanent as far as the denim world goes. They will never go out of style. And one of the first things we are taught in fashion school is that boot cut is the MOST FLATTERING jean out there that suits the most people.

I love skinny jeans! Only my MOM wears wears wide leg jeans (well actually I have ONE pair of wide, low jeans that are fabu and which I wear with sandals a lot), and I majorly adore skinny jeans! I wear them at least 3 times a week (in different shades, of course), and thew look amazing with flats, heels, and my Vans and Converse!
August 18, 2008 at 5:43 am
I will be glad to see the back of skinny jeans. never could
stand them. Flares and wide legged jeans are much, much better and wide legged jeans don’t make woman look like idiots, despite what someone said on here. I look great in mine.
August 21, 2008 at 4:13 am
Im actually pretty short but skinny jeans tend to make me look taller. And plus they’re still in where i live. All my friends are still donning their skinny jeans on a regular basis! Al though i hate the really fat people who wear skinny jeans and end up looking like a meatball atop two denim sausages.
August 23, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Well, I’ve been shopping for jeans the last couple weeks and could hardly find any bootcut which is what I usually wear. So I got flare mid-rise which actually look good but I am older and thought maybe it was too much?! However, after reading the comments about them looking like mom pants, I guess I picked the right style! Skinny jeans are cute, but mostly for young figures, IMHO.
September 9, 2008 at 8:16 pm
i’ve always liked skinny jeans,but I think that only skinny girls hence ” skinny”,should wear them.
September 19, 2008 at 3:33 pm
i dont know i’m just now becoming comfortable enough to wear skinney jeans and now they are leaving. how long can i get away with wearing them? i like to think of myself as a fashion mover and schacker.
October 4, 2008 at 6:41 am
i like skinny jeans more than flare ones, it made me look sexier…
November 29, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I’m small framed, and I have short legs, so the flares make me look “cuter” especially now that I’ve lost my preggo weight & I have more of a figure now. The skinny jeans always made me wanna gag… but my Mom wore them when I was a kid – so that may have messed with my psychy towards them.
Thankfully, being in the south, everyone wears boots, and the flares seem more practical and comfortable for boots, I don’t think flares will ever go out of style down here!
December 20, 2008 at 8:55 pm
It is december and skinny jeans are definantly still in.
December 26, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I love skinny jeans. For those of us who don’t wear heels to school, they actually look good with Converse and Vans.
January 14, 2009 at 2:39 pm
skinnys are still in!
March 23, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Look chick, i dont know what planet your from
but skinny and straight leg jeans are still in and on fire! They’re in every store, and you see everyone rocking them… and 5 inch heels are not mandatory.
I’ve never seen anyone wearing those ridiculous
wide leg jeans… they’re gross.
So idk ?
April 15, 2009 at 5:25 pm
skinny jeans are hot and i dont care if they do go out of style, if you like them keep doing you cause i still wear mine and i look good in them.
April 17, 2009 at 12:30 am
Ugghhh, I LOVE my skiny jeans. They’re the only tight jeans I can wear because i’m so skinny! I wear a size 000 and love them. I can’t stand flare jeans, they make me look shorter and fat. I like my skinnies because they make it seem like my ruler-straight hips are curvier.
April 26, 2009 at 7:49 pm
thank you these tips are so helpfull
June 30, 2009 at 2:20 am
i feel great with my skinny jeans,my boyfriend likes me in them,i dont wear heals though..i just go with styled up flats..word of advice though to the big people…skinies r just not 4 u i mean lets b real.
July 10, 2009 at 10:20 pm
I don’t understand this trend (that is still going on and on). True, there are a few people on whom skinny jeans are flattering. But “a few” does not equal “most”. There are so many women wearing these who shouldn’t be wearing them. They are overrated and unflattering. I work with a women who wears these everyday. She is not fat or anything, but they do not flatter her. And she’s mentioned a few times how universally flattering they are. And also that I should try some because they’d be so cute on me. So wrong. And the worst of all – skinny jeans with sneakers. This looks terrible on anyone over 14. Grow up ladies! Now, with that rant out of the way, can you please do a post on “OUT WITH THE BALLET FLATS”. Thanks.
July 21, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Wide-cut jeans do absolutely nothing good for a figure like mine. I’m petite/average weight. I look like a clown in them. The style makes absolutely no sense.
July 27, 2009 at 5:15 pm
actually no one likes wide legs they make you look fat!! and skinny jeans look so much better and they are so not out! everyone weats them including celebrities!!!!!!!!
August 4, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Skinnies are Soooo in , Wide leg or whatever ya call em are SOOooo NOT!!! they are ugly and the world would be a better place without them , but the whole style trend thing.Doesnt it kinda depend on your age? If your in ya 50’s are ya realy guna wear skinnies? No. probly not. teens and ppl in their 20’s and 30’s are they guna wear skinnies or wides? Skinnies, hands down.Their a fashion staple. Everything, i mean EVERYTHING, goes with skinnies.and the 5 inch heels? really? no,the only ppl who you would see wearing them would be models on covers or the run way.
August 27, 2009 at 3:02 pm

i luv skinny jeans
December 22, 2009 at 8:01 am
Skinny jeans are so flattering unless you are overweight!! They look great on average women, not just skinny women. I’m skinny and short, and they make me look so much taller. Wide jeans only look good on tall people, and it makes people look fatter! The most universally flattering jean is the bootcut.
January 8, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Skinny jeans are starting to annoy the hell out of me. It’s all people wear these days. I definitley will never be putting on a pair of skinny jeans, ever.
January 9, 2010 at 3:11 pm
um actually i’m on the short side and curvy but i dont have a stomach and skinny jeans look great on me. they show off my curves and they dont only look good on skinny people. they’re called skinny jeans because they are straight and tight with no shape, not because only skinny people should wear them
February 18, 2010 at 2:51 pm
arrived here after googling “size 0″, because i’d never heard of it.
if you’re female and want to style-whip other fashion gals, then keep on worrying about this.
but… just mentioning that… most guys don’t care about this. almost anything off the rack is going to be too generic-looking to “make an (art) statement”. and otherwise it will also be “weird”.
tall shoes/ heels are dangerous.
short tall fat skinny, doesn’t matter on average. kind of the same with faces, too.
it would be interesting from a psychological perception POV, to research why the apparently conflicting comments above, “i’m [short|tall|fat|thin] and [floppy|tight] pants make me look [fat |skinny].” i wonder if there are any identifiable patterns (correlations, etc).
March 6, 2010 at 2:38 am
Lol, how funny. This article was written in 2008.
That was 2 years ago and the author said that skinnies are out!
But now, 2 years later, it’s in and on fire!
Lol, you just made my day
