Do you have to be really thin for skinny jeans to look good?

Question

Someone told me I could never wear skinny jeans because I have wide hips and full calves/thighs (not big, I'm just not a toothpick)--is that true?

I honestly think that the skinnies look pretty terrible on just about ALL types of girls. They make skinny girls look anorexic-ly skinny and awkward, and for girls who are curvier, they make the curves look more like being overweight. It's apparent that some guys like the style, but I find it incredibly unattractive generally.

Take it from me, I have seen skinny - average girls wear skinnies, and trust me, they look hot because they can pull it off. On the other hand, I have seen bigger girls wear skinnies and I was turned off. Now, since you are saying you are not big, then go for it.

almost anyone can wear skinny jeans, its all about what you wear with them.

you should wear longer shirts or jackets with them, something that skims your hips to balance out the figure.

oh, and screw the person that told you that! they're just catty. I'm sure you'd look fine. :)

I don't think you have to be stick thin to wear skinny jeans but I think they definitely look better on someone without hips. I've got hips myself and I have always found that a bootcut or something similar looks best because they don't accentuate your hips and thighs.

i honestly think skinny jeans look good on thinner girls. There is this girl who sounds like you describe yourself who wears them all the time and they look awful. They make her butt look huge and they hug her legs, making them look bigger than they are. I say steer clear of them.

i am a curvy; petite girl and skinny jeans look awesome on me. I think they look just as good on girls with nice hips as they do a girl with smaller hips.

wide hips and full calves/thighs is a recipe for success when wearing anything that shows off your figure.  go for it.

No I think that anyone can pull off the skinny jeans look . I've seen my heavy set friend wear them so I don't think it will be a problem

Take someone you completely trust to the shop. Try the jeans on and ask him or her for an honest opinion. If you were my girlfriend I'd tell you straight whether they looked good or not. It's really hard to decide stuff like this yourself.

I'm just like you except for the wide hips. I wear skinnies all the time. I don't care how other people think I look cause I think I look good at that's all that matters. I say you should go for it if you like skinny jeans.
