SKINNY JEANS FOR YOUR SHAPE |
SKINNY JEANS FOR HEAVY THIGHS
If you have heavier thighs, you don’t have to be discouraged from wearing form fitted pants. You can even lengthen your legs by wearing the appropriate skinny jeans for your figure. Wear a dark wash, either in indigo blue or black and make sure you get jeans that are not too tight so your legs have some room to breathe. Pair this look with a longer tunic and belt it at your mid section to really put more focus on your waist.

SKINNY JEANS FOR THICK CALVES

SKINNY JEANS FOR A LARGER BOTTOM
Make sure that the pockets on the rear come down low, right about where your butt and thigh meet. You should wear a tunic that falls at least to the butt, if not longer, so it looks flattering on the rear and doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb.

LEGGINGS: SKINNY JEANS ALTERNATIVE

If your problem areas are your thighs or rump, then wear a darker pair of leggings, with a longer top or short dress. If you are uncomfortable with your stomach, then stick with a drapey blouse. Ankles can always be covered with boots, but try sporting your leggings with high heels to elongate the legs and to flatter the ankles.
