Why do skinny jeans look weird on me?

Dear Advice Girl,

Whenever I go shopping for skinny jeans, they don't look right. Now, I'm kind of big, so whenever I try them on they make me look like a weird cone shape. Like, big on top and small on bottom. Do you have any advice that can help me figure out the right pair of skinny jeans?

Signed,

Dear Let's Go Wildcats,

The thing about fashion is, not everyone is gonna look perfect in everything. Some clothes look best on curvy girls, while others seem to fit on only the teeniest little munchkins. It's nothing to get huffy about, 'cause everyone gets told not to wear something. (Except for Heidi Klum. Somehow, she can wear everything she wants.)

Skinny jeans generally look better on people with small hips. If you're curvy, you might wanna go with more of a bootleg cut. Or, if you wanna rock the skinny jeans, go ahead and wear them anyway. As long as you feel confident, you can make anything look hot.

If you want a better idea of how to wear different kinds of jeans, be sure to check out 30 Days of Denim at Seventeen.

 

Love,
   The Advice Girl

Your size doesnt matter. Wear what you want and feel confident. Screw what other people think. And judging by a lot of these comments, you guys are bitches. My best friend is sort of big too. I'm not even trying to be mean or anything. And she wears skinny jeans every day, they look awesome on her. So forget everyone else. Your opinion is the only one that matters, so wear what you want and feel confident!

Skinny jeans are not for everyone. Some body shapes, like the way you're describing yours, don't look good in colored or tight skinnies. It's just like dresses... not every girl can wear them and feel or look good. So if it doesn't fit, don't buy it! Try to start a new fad [or trend, watev] like bringing back bell-bottoms, lol!!! With this coming from a girl who tells things straight up: u should drop the skinnies idea... it's about time for some thing else to be brought back like tube sockks... hekks yeah! i'm just saying really though. I don't think it's appropriate when people wear clothes that don't fit or give them any more of a positive look. -Njeri

I have the same problem with skinny jeans and i just wear straight legs with a cute pair of heals. It looks WAAAAAAY better with my wide hips. lol

Why go there? Kind of like asking a guy if he thinks peg leg, bell bottom or pants half way to his knees look hottest. Get something else
