do you have to be really skinny to wear skinny jeans.......

[mum2samandalex]

im a curvey size 10-12 aged 28 should i just stick to bootcut????

there is a big thread somewhere from recently about this...consensus is mixed

depends on the length and thickness of your legs, imo. i could never wear them, as my pins are so short and stubby. If you've got long slender ones - oh, i've just re read and you're still quite young - yeah, go for it, if they look good on you.

I think with your age and size, absolutely fine.

ive got short legs though and a bum etc im not big but im not skinny iykwim. Im normally a size 14 but after having two kids ive slimmed down to a size 10-12 never thought id see the day as ive always been curvy hmmm wish i had longer legs

i think they would look great.
on super skinny people the can look terrible iyswim.
i prefer the look with boots though so i guess the boots sort of balance out the legs in the way boot cuts do

i am a 20 and wear them but only with boots. never on their own.

Mum2 congratulations on losing 2 clothes sizes

I bet you're gagging to get a whole new wardrobe lol

Birdie i LURVE the look with boots, thats why i asked, never been confident to wear skinny jeans tho, don't want muffin tops but i would love a figure hugging (and shaping) pair of jeans, sick of 'boyfriend' type jeans now (actually sick of maternity wear atm )

I'm a 14/16 (i hope still so after baby comes )
Am 6ft 4 so no worries about the long legs
Just the big bum

im short, 5'4 and i wear them with boots

Think you can totally wear them! Best thing to do is try them on because you will never really know.

I am size 10, 5'8 and wear them with riding boots, slouchy boots, and mary jane shoes. If you wear them with massive chunky shoes, they can really elongate legs so don't be scared to try it.

You can always try more of a straight leg jean too, not super-skin-tight. Topshop Baxter jeans are skinny but not skintight, and they do them in really nice (choice of) denims.

PS I don't mean 'massive chunky shoes' like clown shoes or anything - more massive heels.
