How to Wear Skinny Jeans

Transcript

0:01 My name is Mitra Chester and we're at Deluxe Resale Boutique in Eugene, Oregon, and I'm

0:06 going to talk to you today about how to wear skinny jeans. I think a lot of people, after

0:11 the whole popularity of the wider end bell leg jeans are a little intimidated about how

0:17 to wear skinny jeans. And, there's a lot of stigma attached to it. So, I'm just going

0:21 to just talk about some ways to wear them that you can really pull off. As you can see,

0:26 I'm wearing some skinny jeans, and I do have them cuffed which some people may not think

0:31 is appropriate. You can wear them kind of cuffed and short, or the right length. The

0:36 one thing you want to avoid with skinny jeans is excess length, because it will create some

0:41 gathering at the, at the ankle area. You can also wear them with sneakers, sandals, heels.

0:48 The most excellent thing with shoes about skinny jeans, is you can wear boots over them,

0:52 any length and size. The one thing that I would avoid with skinny jeans is any kind

0:57 of more bulbous or bulky types of shoes, because it can look like you have lollipops at the

1:01 end of your legs. Other things to think about are tops, because skinny jeans give you a

1:07 sense of kind of a little more shape, you can really pull off kind of tunic tops and

1:14 dresses, or even really baggy tops. You might pair something like this with a waist belt,

1:20 or even a hip belt, as long as it's long enough not to expose the actual belt line, you can

1:26 also just wear it with a regular belt. You can dress them up by wearing them with a dressy

1:31 tank top, or blouse, or down by just wearing them with a t-shirt. Men, can also pull off

1:38 skinny jeans, but they're not a lot available out there in standard make for men. So, if

1:44 you're not intimidated by the idea, often times you might try some women's jeans, but

1:50 they actually look pretty good on men. And, men might wear them with just t-shirts, or

1:55 pretty much the same way, that you would wear any other jeans. So, please don't feel intimidated

2:01 by the skinny jeans, and just try some on. Just like any other jeans, you do want them

2:05 to fit correctly. Skinny jeans does not mean their excessively tight in certain areas,

2:10 you want them to fit in the, in the waist, in the butt, in the thighs. But, skinny just

2:15 means that they're basically tailored along the leg from the hip down to the ankle. They

2:20 do standardly make skinny jeans now, you can find them in a lot of different styles. But,

2:25 you can also make your own by basically trying them on inside out, pinning them along your

2:31 line, and just sewing your leg line, and just sewing that seam. So, please feel free to

2:37 experiment with the style. And, if you're wearing anything with confidence, you can

2:42 pretty much pull it off, so, good-luck!
