Proportions

Sally

Lately I've been wearing my jeans tucked with a belt but seeing some recent outfits thought I would like to try skinny jeans again. I just wonder if the proportions with the skinny jeans emphasise my middle. the photo with the white shirt is a bit hazy but if you compare the two looks what emphasises your midsection. Or should I just wear a longer shirt with the skinny jeans?

Hmmm... I love #1. I'm afraid it's really hard to compare 2 and 3, since one is blurry and 2 on it's side. But just going by what I can make out, tucking seems more flattering. Do you think you can flip 3 upright? I'm worried it's not giving a realistic picture.

#1 is just killer, Sally. You look so long and lean! I prefer the white top with the bootcuts--it seems a smidge short for skinnies. I tend to like a little bit more coverage when I wear skinnies--but that's to cover my wide, flat butt. You obviously don't have that problem but I think it would be more flattering overall. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry - I can't make out #2 or #3 at all - but #1 is absolutely fantastic!

Thanks everyone. I will try to find clearer photos but it is as I suspected. If I wear a short shirt with skinnies, I need a jacket to cover and seal. Otherwise I should wear a longer shirt with skinnies. With the bootcuts I think it looks better to tuck if I want to smarten up or wear a jacket. Amazing what a jacket can do.
@Kelly...I dont have a wide butt....I have a flat one but I am wide in the lower waist and thats where I put on weight. I spend my life trying to conceal that! Actually it was you that inspired me to try on the skinnies again. Your recent outfits looked so good. I want to go and get a blue denim pair now but will wear with longer shirts or jackets.

I don't think the issue in #2 is that the shirt is with skinny jeans. Overall I would say that white shirt is short and better off with a skirt. Do you have another shirt, just a little longer but not yet a tunic to try out with skinny jeans?
