Re: skinny jeans and leggings

Good evening ladies.. I am a thin girl, short .. I do not like the skinny jeans or leggings on me. I like the slim leg style pants on my figure better. My legs look very short with a tunic top even in the petite size with leggings. My seventeen year old daughter is taller then me and thin and loves this type of style and it looks nice on her. Some leggings look like tights to me so I stay clear of them.

I agree. Sounds like your friend looks great and enjoys wearing her skinny jeans with boots. I echo Matty6's post.

Of course anyone can wear anything they please but , we have all seen the fashion mistakes when we are at the mall or a restaurant. Some things are just wrong. IMO - they should not even make leggings in sizes over 4 - what is a person who is a 3x thinking wearing leggings???? But they sell them all sizes. and anyone who thinks a tunic is enough to cover parts that should definitely not be shown - needs to bend over or reach up while standing in front of a mirror. Just because something is a trend doesn't mean everyone can wear it.

I don't know about that, HH.

The plus size models look nice in leggings and long tunics.

Re: skinny jeans and leggings

How does OP know that all the women she's seen in skinny jeans and/or leggings that she think look bad are over 45?

Does she demand to know their age when her disapproving eye is scanning the crowd?

Personally, I think it's all about proportion. It's not about weight, and it's not about age.

Maybe that is the age group she is guessing these women are? I think if you have a positive attitude and confidence about yourself then you can pull any outfit off. Something I wish I had more of.
