The Style Guru: Skinny Jeans For Curvy Girls

It’s come to my attention that girls seem to think you have to be skinny to wear figure-hugging clothes.  This is a myth.  Well-fitted clothes will make a curvy girl look neat and will allow her to show over her voluptuous body.

Skinny jeans or any other skin tight pants can  actually make your legs look slimmer.

Start with a pair of jeans that fit your body properly.  Skinny jeans are supposed to be skinny and that doesn’t mean you should wear a size smaller than you already are.  Muffin tops are never sexy.  You should be able to walk, sit and eat in your skinny jeans.  Choose a stretchy pair if you’re unsure.

Curvy girls will look their best in dark color without any distressing or patterns.  High waist skinnies make your legs appear longer and also hide your belly.

If you’re an hourglass shape , look for tops that flatter your curves.   A v-neck tunic or sweater with a wide belt turns your skinny jeans into sexy jeans.

Finish the look with a pair of  heels or ankle boots.  Or pair long skinny jeans with ballet flats or flip-flops.  If you choose pointy shoes they can make your legs look longer and slimmer.

OK so I do realize that Kim isn’t exactly a size 16 but she does have an hourglass shape.  Believe it or not, I’ve heard girls this size complain that they’d never wear anything skin tight.
