Boy jeans or skinnies?

Hey,

Just wondering everyone opinion on this, which make you look thinner, skinny jeans, or the more baggy styles of "boyfriend jeans". I'm a bit torn on this, I think the baggier jeans can hide a lot, but could also make you look bigger. Anyone?

Skinny jeans! Dark wash looks best and throw on some wedges you'll look taller...always helps me on  "fat" days. good luck

For me, skinny jeans always emphasizes my hips and makes my legs look shorter... On the otherhand, boyfriend jeans gives you no shape at all... For me it is lean, slightly bootcut  jeans worn with wedges for maximum "skinniness"!

go for the SKINNY JEANS. my all time personal favorite, ever since forever, waaayyyy before the trend set in.

my point: the skinny's are classic, go for them :)
and yes, i think they make you look thinner.

i think skinny jeans are awful about 99% of the time (and that's being generous.  i can't actually think of a time when i've seen a girl in skinny jeans and not thought they were awful - i'm just leaving the door open for an exception).

if girls are tiny enough to actually fit them, they look like inappropriately-dressed nine year olds or starving junkies; if they don't fit - well, it's a toss up which is worse.

So, is it a sign of my age if I say I hate skinny jeans?

I can't tell you how many times I see girls (and boys), on the street that just should NOT be wearing them.  They are not flattering unless you are very thin.  I see so many people wearing them badly, and I just wish they would stop.

I feel that nothing looks better than a pair of well fitting, medium rise boot cut jean.  (a couple incles below your belly button, but not LOW).

 I agree 1000%.  I look at these girls STUFFED into their skinny jeans, and I think to myself, do they know how BAD that looks?!

I know... kind of like sausage.... even the tiniest one look awful... I think the the only group of women who can get away with skinny jeans are skinny and tall....a la Cameroon Diaz

UGH, I also hate skinny jeans. I prefer bootcut :)

Well I'm short and I definitely don't have skinny legs even if I do fit into skinny jeans, I hope I don't look stuffed into them lol.

Skinny jeans are ugly.  I've only seen one person look okay in them and like Pg said, she looked like and inappropriately dressed 9 year old.  The worst (and most common) mistake I see is wearing skinny jeans with tennis shoes.  That looks terrible.

I HATE skinny jeans!  Those things are one of the worst fashion trends ever!  I personally think that most "slimming" pants you could wear, are truly going to depend on the way you are built.

i wear skinny jeans all the time. boyfriend jeans look okay on me too. i don't like wearing bootcut though and definitely not flared.

Hi I wear skinny jeans most of the time but unlike ewwxro I also like boot cut I find they can be quite flattering.

unless you have the figure for it (aka stick legs and tiny hips) I wouldn't wear skinny jeans. They tend to make legs look like sausages.

my favorite cut is low rise (but not ultra low), maybe a little bit of spandex in it so it has some give, long enough so that you would have to wear heels to have them the right length and boot cut or a very slight flare.

 

Personaly, I'm not a big fan of the baggy pants. Makes people look like they just got out of jail.

Maybe it's beacause I'm from California, or maybe it's cause I'm a snob.

But any jeans are better then baggy jeans.

 

Try Abercrombie jeans, they are lifesavers on fat days.

Whaa?? I love skinny jeans but I agree that they don't look good on most women. Since I could use a little help in the booty department I think they look fine on me.

Neither do 'boyfriend' jeans. The only girls that I've seen who could pull them off are JCrew models. But they're all 5'10 and 120 lbs.

I think straight leg dark wash jeans work on most women.

Unless you're extremely skinny, I'd say no go on the skinny jeans.

dude, wtf?  nice generalization there.

i've long been a fan of baggy jeans and hoodies...but my style is a mix of skater meets prep school meets art school, so i guess it works.  i think all of my jeans are from the mens dept at gap.
