*** Skinny Jeans is for Everyone ***

Skinny jeans have been around since the 1950s, mostly worn by men because pants were not typically seen on women. Then in the 1960s, women like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn began wearing pants, and those pants had a tapered leg. After the late '60s, the skinny jean got pushed aside and made way for bell-bottoms. The 1980s brought the return of the skinny jean and spandex. As trends go, the skinny jean did not last long into the 1990s. But, the jeans have now seen a revival, due to the popularity of '80s fashion. What makes this particular style popular is their versatility.

In the 1950s the waist on the skinny jeans was higher than on the modern skinny jeans. Tapered jeans became most notable with country music stars and with the birth of rock and roll in the 1950s, when Elvis Presley donned slim-fitting jeans and shocked the country.

Drainpipe jeans and rock 'n' roll were inextricably linked to create the "bad boy" image that remains today. In the early 1960s they were worn by numerous rock bands, including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Skinny Jeans and The 1970s Fashion
In the early 70s glam rock and rockabilly bands reviving the Teddy Boy look popularised drainpipe jeans in contrast to the flared trousers worn by hippies. Red tartan drainpipe jeans (as they were then called) were popular in the punk subculture of the late 1970s, worn by many bands and scene leaders such as The Clash, Ramones and Sex Pistols.

1. The Look

   • 1
     Make sure the tapered leg is the right style for you. If one has larger hips or thighs, the skinny leg could give the allusion of a fuller frame.

     Decide where you will be wearing the skinny jeans and then pick a top that will correspond appropriately. Skinny jeans can be worn casually with a T-shirt and cardigan, or dressy with silk blouse and tweed jacket.
     
     
     

     

     
     

     

     
     

     
     

     
     

     

     
     

     

     
     

   Shoes

   • 1
     Pick a shoe that represents the look. Does the top and jeans go better with flats, high heels or boots? It is important the shoe corresponds with the environment in which the jean is worn, as well as with the top.
   • 2
     Boots: The skinny jean works well when tucked into boots. In the winter, the skinny jean works well tucked into boots and worn with a heavy coat or sweater.

     High heels: When worn with a heel, the skinny jean can appear to elongate and flatter the leg. The jean can be worn at night with a heel and dressy top.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Understand that a woman with a boyish body or who is really thin is ideal for these jeans, but that does not mean that anyone else can't wear them.
   • 2
     Start by trying on jeans at many different stores. To "Own" your skinny jeans you have to find the perfect pair.
   • 3
     Try dark washes on. Light washes can even make a thin woman look heavy or oddly shaped.
   • 4
     If skinny jeans absolutely don't work for you try on cigarette leg jeans. They are similar but not as "skinny".
     
     
     

     

     
     
   • 5
     Pair your skinny jeans with a loose shirt. This balances out the effect of the jeans.
   • 6
     Wear either flats or heels with them. Tennis shoes and flip flops just don't work with skinny jeans.

I hope you like it gurls!
