Can you get away with skinny jeans if you ate a size 16?

My friend said I could but Im not sure. My bum isn't bad but I do have quite curvy legs especially my calves.

i saw a woman wearing skinnys yesterday, she was complete knock kneed and looked horrific. her size was irrelevent.

I am a size 16 and have tried a few pairs, but they are definitely not a good look for me! However, I have short legs, so that's probably why. I second TheGratefulDead, as i bought some straight leg jeans from new look, as was sick of bootcuts, and really like them. Think they look a bit more fashionable without me looking like i'm trying too hard (and failing :o). Agree though, it's not necessarily to do with your size as to whether you can wear them, more your shape.

Ima 16 too and second the vote for Gap Real Straight jeans. Slim enough to tuck into boots etc but not tight enough to really show the shape of your leg so I personally think they are much more flattering. I think size 16 in skinnies is fine if you happen to maybe be bigger on top with slim legs but otherwise I'd avoid. They can look very unflattering.
