Women's skinny jeans: A fashion favourite that's always in style
Every year, fashion magazines hail the end of skinny jeans – but they're still going strong! It seems clear that these ultra-tight pants aren't going anywhere. If you still haven't succumbed to the skinnies, then it's time to try them out. The best thing is: Absolutely everyone can rock a pair of skinny jeans, and look totally fabulous in them. With all kinds of colours and rises available, all you need is a bit of attention to find the perfect pair to suit you.
Skinny jeans to suit your body
Conscious of your curves? Make sure to pick up a stretchy pair of skinny jeans. These will be a lot easier to get in and out of! You can also find special, firming jeans that will compress and lift – a great way to get a perkier backside. If you're nervous about your midsection, be sure to buy a higher waisted pair. The denim will help tame the tum, leaving you with a smoother, sleeker silhouette. Make sure your jeans fit perfectly, with no bagginess around the knee or under the bum. If they're a bit long, then roll them up into cuffs just above the ankles. That way you'll avoid unwanted rippling of fabric. When it comes to colour, remember that darker shades are generally more slimming. If you want to downplay the bottom half of your body, go for black or dark blue jeans; lighter colours, classic stone wash, or extra details, like rips or whiskers, will draw the eye downwards.
How to style your jeans in skinny-style
The great thing about a pair of skinny jeans is that you can dress them up or down easily. For a casual daytime look, don't go too fitted on your top half. Instead, choose something fairly voluminous to balance out your silhouette. On ultra-casual days, that could be a hoodie or big T-shirt. For something that looks a little more put together, try an oversized cable knit jumper in winter, or a loose, floaty top in summer. Finish with trainers or ankle boots for a relaxed, fun style. To dress up your skinnies, go for a more fitted top. Use a jacket or coat to add some visual interest and bring your outfit together. Tight jeans look fantastic with long, belted jackets or cardigans, which also have a slimming effect.
