I just realized I repeated what everyone else said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-868297 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 22:28:25 +0000 4babiesMe 868297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a curvy girl myself, I've found that a pair of straight leg jeans gives me a similar effect without making me look like I'll topple over. The levi's perfect waist jeans that I have are somewhere between a skinny and a straight. I think they are perfect for someone, like myself, who may be a little unsure of skinnies or wants to ease into them. But I agree with others who said it's all about the top you pair with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867893 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:53:44 +0000 Lisa 867893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a pear shape and find straight legs look like skinnies on me. I have Ann Taylor Modern Slim Jeans, Lucky Brand Sweet n Straight Jeans and AG Stilt Jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867452 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:53:52 +0000 hedgiehog 867452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! I am chicken no more. So many suggestions and tips.....Off to find some straight leg jeans this weekend. Will post photos once I get them.</p> <p>xx Mary </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867433 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:44:51 +0000 Angie 867433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By ALL means try straight leg jeans, hedgie! I think you'll feel svelte in them, especially when styled with a great top and footwear that grounds the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867381 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:06:22 +0000 abc 867381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find that wearing a tall or midcalf boot with skinny/straight jeans helps balance out my proportions. You can try this trick, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867274 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:54:44 +0000 Anonymous 867274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you can wear them. You just need volume on top to balance you out. I'm a pear too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867160 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 22:03:29 +0000 Louise 867160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a fellow curvy gal (pretty pear) I also thought I couldn't wear skinnies. Thanks to Angie I've discovered I can wear them I just need to give the top some thought. Short fitted tops are a big no no. Longer length tops and tunics are perfect as are boxy or voluminous tops. I now rarely wear any other jeans than skinnies or straight legs. Definitely give it a go x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867146 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:47:56 +0000 Thistle 867146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try them on! You won't new until you give them a whirl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867140 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:44:58 +0000 texstyle 867140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's foolish either -- I'd probably go for straight legs instead of "skinny" but that's a personal preference. There are so many options in jeans right now - I'm currently loving pretty faded light blues as I wore dark wash for so long and got tired of the whole dye transfer thing -- though I still love some of my dark wash and won't give them up entirely, I reserve them a bit more for casual going out instead of daily wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867036 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 19:53:04 +0000 Kalli 867036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That said, I'm sure she'd recommend them to you pending on the proportion of the top you use.</p> <p>I don't believe it's foolish at all to consider it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-skinny-jeans-for-curvy-body#post-867032 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 19:47:39 +0000 hedgiehog 867032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I am considering incorporating a new pair of jeans into my wardrobe. Currently, I only wear bootcut, dark wash jeans because I've heard repeatedly that curvy girls should always stick to wider bottoms to balance out proportions.<br /> So, with that said, I'm wondering if it's foolish of me to even consider a pair of tapered leg jeans....maybe not entirely skinny, maybe more straight legged....but something other than bootcut!</p> <p>Advice and counselling throughly appreciated. :)</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Mary </p>
