So I’m a bigger girl who loves fashion, and I have a question. I have a couple of pairs of high boots that I adore, but I’ve heard that big girls can’t wear skinny jeans or leggings.
Is this true? If it is, then what’s the best way for a big girl to rock some high boots?
I normally wear boot cut jeans beause I like the way they look. You just can tuck them into boots, and I was thinking of getting a pair just to wear with my boots. What else can I wear with my boots?
guest
who said curvy girls can’t wear skinny’s?…you better rock a pair to go with those gorgeous boots…it’s more on how you carry yourself and how you wear them…as long as you don’t have anything hanging out or exposing ass and titty’s…your good mama. work that shit.lol

it all depends in my opinion.
I’ve seen poor big girls try and dress like small petite girls and it’s just so unflattering for them that I feel sorry!
Issues that often arise when bigger girls wear skinny jeans are muffin top. I don’t know if you know what that is but I’ve seen some bad cases.
Tights I think are for every body type, with a nice flowy dress and some boots would look killer!
Skinny jeans are hardly flattering on anyone. Not even girls with The Gap.

guest
as long as you feel beautiful inside them, you’ll irradiate it.
just get skinny jeans your size, and everything should look okay.
guest
who in the world told you that? as long as you’re wearing the right size … meaning you didn’t squeeze yourself into something causing you to have camel toe and any other unflattering things … there is no reason why you cannot rock your boots. i am not skinny and l i wear is skinny jeans and tights. my husband loves the way i look in them and will not stop staring at my behind. the sexier the boots the better. he always tells me he doesn’t understand why some super skinny girls wear skinny jeans because it makes them look thinner instead of “more womanly” … but then again … my husband is of the other variety.
guest
I’ve seen some larger girls pull off skinny jeans but to be honest, i haven’t seen any wear leggings and manage to pull off the look. Jeans give you more shape and support. So i would say that you probably are fine wearing your boots with jeans.
However you could try wearing your boots with a nice a line skirt that comes to about your knees. Or wear your leggings with a dress as your top.
I’m sure you will look fabulous =D

make sure you wear a dark color if you try it out. definitely go with jeans and not leggings
guest
@BABI_BRUNETTE_7@xanga - AMEN! I am curvy and own a pair of skinny jeans. Girl if you feel hot, you look hot, that’s all the matters!
guest
yes bigger girls can rock skinny jeans. i have some extra weight myself and one of my favorite looks is skinny jeans with shin or knee high boots. all you have to do is find a pair that fits and is flattering on your things or hips, if those are problem areas for you.
guest
It depends…. I don’t think they’re the most flattering on bigger girls. I’m a size 8 UK/4 US and they don’t flatter me though, so it’s all about your own body. If you feel great wearing them, and they look good, go wild and work it! Ha ha. If not, skirts that come just above the knee look fabulous with long boots, or if you want jeans get some well tailored straight leg ones – that’s what I wear with my boots. =]

wow your on some serious backhold if you dont wear those skinny jeans.im big and i wear them ALL the time,shows off my ass plus i love the way my legs look in them,..the REALLY skinny girls,who dont have thighs touching,i think they shouldnt wear it cause it looks as if two poles are covered with a peice of cloth!…
im not very proud of being big but i have never thought that can hold me back from wearing skiny jeans.infact i HATE boot cuts.(i never wear skirts or shots cause they make my calves look like stumps)
guest
@IXOYE_AD@xanga - you see…that confident is blooming…i’m loving that. now put some of that on your outfit and your good to go

I’m a curvy girl and I have four pair of skinny jeans that look great on me. Like everyone else has said, just get them in your size. Also, don’t get them in loud colors. I noticed that they exaggerated my hips when I wore green ones. I don’t know if it’ll be the same case for you, just try them on.
Leggings, I’ve never really tried them on. I think it will work if you get them in your size once more, and if you wore a long shirt with it. Possibly longer then the usual. Just make sure they cover enough.
You can always wear skirts and dresses with your boots.
Much luck.
guest
As a bigger girl myself, I say rock the skinny jeans!
I usually pair them with a long shirt or long cardigan to hide anything unflattering about the top, but they have a wonderfully slimming and lengthening effect on my legs.
Unfortunately, I typically don’t rock the legging look because I have trouble finding ones that fit comfortably. The worst faux pas with big girls in leggings (heck, i’ve seen this on skinny girls too) is that sometimes, the right size for your calf and stomach is too small for your hips and thighs, so the thin fabric gets stretched and distorted on your upper legs. This is easily hidden by a knee-length skirt, but when combined with a miniskirt is a fashion disaster!
guest
they can,but it’s not very flattering for their figures.
guest
there called SKINNY jeans for a reason.
guest
With boots the skinny jeans should be fine. What you are hearing is meant for when you wear flats or just heels with the skinny jeans. The hips jut out and taper to the ankle, which some people think doesn’t look good. Bigger girls usually look better with a straight leg that falls at the widest part of the hip [bootlegs usually do this] – it’s slimming and looks great. But, if you like the way you look – I know for a Fact that a lot of guys Prefer bigger girls – then wear what you want, as the ‘rules’ are for ‘showing off your best features’ and ‘hiding your less than spectacular features.’ It’s all about perception, which is different for everyone. Ya dig?
guest
I think you can wear skinny jeans as long as theyre your size and not too tight. Or, try a medium length skirt with the boots, like what she’s wearing in this picture http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/1754062308_7afcb3086b.jpg
guest
well, fuck. i don’t care if i’m not “supposed” to wear skinny jeans because i’m not skinny. i love my skinny jeans. they make them in larger sizes. my favorite pair came from old navy, but i’ve seen places like torrid carry them, too (sizes 12-26 depending on your size.)
if you don’t like the way you look or feel in them then don’t wear them. if you are comfortable in them and like the way you look- go for it. that’s how i judge my clothing. not on what other people think i should wear, but on how i feel. good luck

They can but very few look good in them.
guest
@outspoken_nessa@xanga - HAHA!
u CAN wear skinny jeans, whether or not you will look good on them is debatable
guest
It doesn’t matter what people say. Do what you want and dress how you want. Just get a size that fits your body, and I think dark colors would look good. I personally think some people can’t pull off the leggings look. But they’re majorly cute with babydoll tops and short dresses.
@outspoken_nessa@xanga - HAH, please. People can wear them. Whether they look great or not . . . Whatever.
Oh, and it’s “they’re”.
@lastlyfirst@xanga - Totally agree.
guest
lol you obviously dont live in jamaica queens and see who exactly wears those skinny legs
guest
You CAN do whatever the hell you want for the sake of it or to prove a point or whatever, but that doesn’t mean it’ll look good.
The reason it doesn’t is because from an aesthetic point of view, skinny jeans only emphasize positively one trait, which is skinny legs. They bring out the negative in anything else. Big thighs (if you’re not proud of them)? Gut? Love handles? Thick calves? Awkwardly shaped butt? Short legs? Thanks, skinny jeans, for making all these things twice as noticeable.
So like i said, do what you want and be as indignant as you want about people telling you that big girls can’t wear them, but you really can’t deny that that’s hard to refute. They’re a tough style to pull off.
guest
Big girls CAN wear skinny jeans. I saw it in a magazine. lol.
guest
I feel empowered to get myself a pair of skinny jeans now.
guest
Sure wear skinny jeans, but don’t be surprised if your ass looks ginormous.
It’s not flattering. Fashion doesn’t decide what looks good on people. You decide what looks good on you or you can get a second opinion from a friend. I hope that friend is honest.
But if you like how it looks on you, go for it. My opinion is if you’re very curvy, it is better to wear something that doesn’t emphasize it too much. Its about looking classy not trashy.
guest
@BABI_BRUNETTE_7@xanga - lol
guest
my friend is curvy and wears skinny jeans, and she looks down right sexy in them. so i say go for it.
guest
Skinny jeans aren’t all that anyways. But then I have a pair of my own.
guest
skinny jeans alright, esp with thicker material (more support) dark colors, and nice heels on your boots would be good
leggings i would not if i were not perfectly toned. leggings show ALL the jiggle in your legs. maybe if you only showed a lil bit of legging betw skirt and boot? just PLEASE don’t be one of those top+leggings as pants girls. even the super fit ones look SO trashy and anyone less than perfectly sized looks double, triple the trashy.
either way, bigger girls usually have other assets to compliment :] so wear your skinnies but don’t forget the main show!
guest
I LOVE SKINNY JEANS
they keep my legs warm in the cold weather (:
guest
It depends on how big you are, i’ve seen quite a few big girls wear skinng jeans and it’s just a no-no.
guest
I think its fine. But in my opinion if you’re ‘super big’ don’t get too tight skinnies. Basically what tops your look altogether is your top wear. I see some girls wear tighttighttight shirts, baddd.
guest
WELL IM A BIG GURL MYSELF AND I
2 WEAR SKINNYS THEY LOOK CUTE ON US BIG GURLS U CAN WEAR THEM WITH HEELS OR FLATS THEY LOOK JUST AS GOOD ON US AS THEY DO SLIM GIRLS… ANYWHO U CAN WEAR WHATEVER U PLEASE AS LONG AS UR COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENCE IS BEAUTY SO BE CONFIDENT SCREW THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!
guest
Just because you are a little bigger than the average girl doesn’t mean that you can’t wear skinny jeans. You have all the right to wear what you want, no matter what others think. If you want to wear skinny jeans, then by all means go for it! Forget what others think, its yourself that’s the most important!
guest
How about a nice skirt?
guest
It depends on your body type. If you have an apple shape (or big stomach), it doesn’t look good no matter what size you are. If you have a pear shape, you can pull it off only if the leggings/jeans aren’t tapered (meaning they don’t get skinnier as they go toward the ankle). Tapered skinny jeans only make pear shaped hips look bigger. The ability to pull off leggings and skinny jeans has more to do with your body shape than size.
Also with the leggings, they should be leggings and not tights. If they are leggings then you don’t have to worry about them not being as supportive as pants and revealing flaws etc because leggings are pants and meant to be worn out.
guest
you can wear skirts (with leggings when it is cold) with boots. You can also wear dresses.
guest
girl.. go on and wear WHATEVER you like. i’ve seen tons of curvy girls who wear skinny jeans and it looks great on them!
guest
@wanderer1088@xanga - Haha Me toooo!!!
guest
dude. wear whatever the fuck you want. as long as you feel good and think you look good.
shit else don’t matter.
go buy yourself a million pairs of skinny jeans and leggings.
=]
guest
girl you can wear whatever the hell you want….who dresses u….society? no…you do…you like it…u feel comfortable in it? WEAR IT! Dont let ur closet be dictated by ne one but you! (just make sure you are wearing your clothing well and it is not wearing you!)
guest
U definetly don’t have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans. If u haven’t go to like rave or wherever and try a pair on, if u like them on u get them(:
guest
Do your thang! I’m a curvy latin with hips and thighs and I rock my skinny jeans and leggings! Loves em!! If you look good you look good! Nothing more… nothing less!=) Must say I look good in em!
guest
hence the name SKINNY jeans
..because skinny jeans aren’t meant for fat girls
guest
just make sure to wear a long enough shirt with it! and wear it in your size. a lot of girls wear their pants too tight which creates love handles which are gross!
as long as the waist is loose enough you’ll be fine

I feel AWFUL saying this… but it really depends on what you mean by big. (It’s such a relative term.) When I think big, I think anything bigger than I am which is pretty much everything! (I’m a size zero.) I think that skinny jeans could work for anyone who is within their healthy weight zone for their height. If one is close to but outside the healthy zone, it still might be okay but if one’s weight strays too far, maybe that person should focus more on trying to lose weight than trying to find clothes that will look good. I feel like a huge jerk saying this… but it’s true. I know a lot of girls who call themselves “big” but they really aren’t… they are the size God made them and they are healthy and look GOOD. Wear the skinny jeans if you feel great in them and ultimately, don’t listen to what anyone else says unless it is your mom and she sees you in them and goes, “OH HONEY, DON’T!” (Trust me, she loves you and she knows best.)
guest
i have a big ass and thick legs and i wear my skinny jeans PROUDLY. wear what you’re comfortable in and people will see that shine through way more than some weird style rule<3
orchid / 103 posts
@NoTummyAnymore@xanga - I agree! Definitely wear a skirt over skinny jeans if you have big hips. And ALWAYS wear a skirt over leggings whether you are size twelve or size zero!
orchid / 103 posts
@Erika_Steele@xanga - Wow! You seem to know a lot about what looks good on people. Maybe you should go into fashion?
guest
its all about sizeing and material. if you get some sort of material with a little bit of strech (not denim!) with the right fit you can rock anything!. if you buy the pants with strech and find out that you like the way you look then denim it up girl! trust me im a big girl too and i rock skinnys all day everyday =]
guest
LIES! Big girls can wear skinny jeans!! I mean, I wouldn’t suggest trying to squeeze into a pair of jeans from PacSun or anything. Most likely, that wont turn out too pretty. I think Torrid has some adorable skinny jeans. I have a pair from there that I absolutely adore! Shame on whoever put that idea in your mind! I’d go for it!
As for the leggings, well, I’ve saw some skinny girls who can’t even pull those off, but size definitely doesn’t matter!
guest
I wouldn’t know, not being a big fashion diva myself, but I think if they look good, rock ‘em. If they don’t, ditch ‘em.
sunflower / 432 posts
Wear the skinny jeans!!! I’m a size 8 which is by no means “big”, but I have a pretty bodacious ass and I rock skinny jeans whenever I want to.
You don’t have to be a twig. Wear what you want!
guest
Experiment with different brands and fits before settling on a good pair of jeans, and that goes for all styles. Some bodies are more suitable for one style of jeans than another, but with proper confidence and the right outfit, it’ll still look good. If you don’t like the way skinny jeans fit, try a straight leg style. They don’t restrict the calves as much. Skinny jeans/straight leg jeans are the way to go when you’re going to stuff them in boots though.
As for leggings, I don’t recommend anyone wearing them alone with a shirt that’s not long enough to cover the butt. It just looks tacky to me, and even the skinny girls have bits that… jiggle… haha.
guest
Skinny jeans only look good on models with 0 fat on their thighs.
guest
I thought this too, but I kept trying on different pairs until I found a pair that I felt worked on me. Take your best friend or someone who will be brutally honest with you and then go on a try on frenzy! I think as long as you wear a shirt that hits lower on your hip and covers any tummy you might have, then you can totally rock this look! I like to wear short dresses over leggings (or skinny jeans) and boots.
guest
They are called skinny jeans for a reason, I suppose. I just don’t think it looks very good, but that’s my opinion.
guest
@onetruelove - I wanted to when I was younger, but in my family my brother was the “artistic” one and I was the “academic” one. I never felt encouraged by my artistic abilities and didn’t think I could make it in Fashion School. Now that I am older and happy in my chosen field, I just enjoy fashion from afar.

I’m pretty big and I only wear skinny jeans….I get them at Torrid and they’re really cheap.
and I only wear leggings to bed or to work out.
guest
you CAN wear whatever you want. sounds like your asking permission…go as your mother?
guest
Well, I’m super skinny and I still wear skinny jeans. I don’t care what people thinks or say about me. You CAN wear skinny jeans. Doesn’t matter what people think about you. You should make yourself feel good and not worry about what others have to say.
guest
I think it’s all about the shape of your legs. I’m relatively skinny, but skinny jeans make my thighs look like blimps so i get the boot cut ones instead. They’re much more slimming and I still get the same style I’m looking for.
My sister on the other hand is a lot curvier then me, and rocks the skinny jeans. So it has nothing to do with your weight.
guest
skinny jeans and leggings look horrible on very very heavy people.
it’s the truth.
it’s because it makes their thighs and ass look way bigger than it probably is.
leggings are only okay if you wear a skirt over them
scene.
guest
You can wear anything you want…I don’t think that skinny jeans are just for skinny people! It all depends what you wear with your skinny jeans..I would look for long cute tops like these
Shirt one
Shirt Two
Shirt Three
I think you get the idea, If your really heavy I would avoid skinny jeans with prints and bright colors.
And I think boots look really nice with leggings and it looks great on anyone!

i have no idea who said that. i think skinny jeans look way better on bigger girls anyway, we have more body to fill in the jeans. All I buy is skinny jeans now because they show off my figure more than other jeans ( it also has to do with the fact that im short and flares, bootcut, etc just fall under my ankles)
guest
My opinion on such “rules” for bigger girls is that, wear clothing that fits you properly. Skinny jeans are nice on bigger girls if they’re not making anything pop out or look uncomfortable.
guest
go ahead!
all i wear are skinny jeans and i’m big. i mean if anything skinny girls look kinda bad in skinnies cause it emphasizes the fact their legs look like sticks.
guest
I’m a “big girl” and I only wear skinny jeans. They show off your legs and no matter how big you are baggy anything isn’t flattering. Skinny jeans make me feel pretty fabulous so just go for it.

@listen_to_The_Pixies@xanga - I totally agree.
guest
Ignore what people say, they’ll regret it
!
guest
I’m curvy and all I buy is skinny jeans.
guest
I don’t think that bigger girls should wear skinny jeans with flats. It just emphasizes a pear shape. Boots are fine though. They add balance to an outfit with skinny jeans.
guest
@outspoken_nessa@xanga - AMEN! Thank you for your honesty.
guest
You can dress however you like. You can wear skinny jeans if you want, but make sure that you wear it in an outfit that flatters your body.
guest
I have a friend, male for any difference it may make, who is quite large but wears skinny jeans on occasions. It doesn’t look awful on him, and it even sort of slims down his appearance. Like I said, the gender thing might make a difference, but I say go for it! Don’t let your weight get you down. There are thousands of different types of beautiful and they’re not all tooth-pick skinny.
guest
only wear skinny jeans if you are under a size 5.
if you’re larger than that, then go on a diet.
guest
Since skinny jeans are skinny they show off your figure and if your well big it doesn’t look to good. It makes you look bigger. But it shouldn’t matter what other people say. If you want to wear skinny jeans then wear them. My friend told me you can’t wear a tank top over a shirt, but I still do it anyways [not all the time]. You can’t let someone tell you what you can and can’t wear.
guest
I say, with no offense, that you should try rockin the boots with a knee-length skirt. I’m currently trying to get rid of my thighs which are making it impossible to wear all of my old skinny jeans(from like, 3 months ago–I’ve gained 15 pounds). the truth is, if your thighs are touching when you wear skinny jeans/leggings, it honestly doesn’t look good. again, no offense–I’m going through the same thing.
guest
Whaat? Who said that? They’re crazy!
I see curvy girls everywhere, around where I like, wearing skinny jeans and it looks fine! Now leggings and tight are a different story; I would think would be less flattering, no offense.
Go get a pair! You won’t know till you’ve tried it!
guest
Well, they ARE called skinny jeans for a reason. I’m sure a curvy girl might be able to slip into a pair, but they certainly won’t look as hot compared to a skinny girl ((imo)). Even more so with leggings. This also depends, as a lot of fat girls consider themselves curvy, and if that’s true, then I’d say hell no. Some clothes aren’t made in certain sizes for a reason….
guest
i love that everyone is being supportive. rock whatever look you want– confidence is 99% of what it takes to make an outfit work. but to be honest, i think skinny jeans are horrendously unflattering on big girls. curvy is one thing but when you have big thighs (especially in comparison to your calves) i’m going to have to say go with an A-line skirt or, if you’re feeling brave, a pencil.
guest
no matter what size you are, you can wear anything out there. the only thing is HOW you wear it. rock some skinny jeans or leggings with a dress or long blouse that hits above the knee with an empire waist. just dress accordingly to your figure and you know what you look good in. :]
guest
Rock your skinny jeans and be proud that you can rock them.
guest
I’m a proud size 13 with an hourglass figure. I rock skinny jeans all the time. They round out my curves and I constantly get compliments on how nice they make my butt look.
Get skinny jeans in a dark wash with a little bit of stretch. If you have some hips or butt, and you balance it out with a top that draws the eye upward a bit, you will look awesome.
guest
@mywordsx@xanga - no.
only skinny
guest
@mayanao@xanga - at least someone else understands
guest
It really depends on whether you buy clothes for your body type or not. I’ve seen big girls and skinny girls look both great and horrible in skinny jeans, I mean as long as you buy your right size and cut it should be good. I’m not heavy, but I’m curvy and I wear skinnies just fine. :]
guest
@outspoken_nessa@xanga - Whatever floats your boat. I’m just saying bigger girls can wear skinnies.
guest
I’m a “fatty” (18-20 size pant, usually) and I rock skinny jeans. I also have friends of similar size who knock em’ dead as well. Just be sure that they fit flatteringly everywhere and are in a rinse or color that suits you (I like black–all the more slimming). Torrid is a great place to find larger sizes that tend to fit well. Personally I think skinny jeans look better on someone with curves than they do on stick thin people. The fabric tends to smooth out any flabby areas you may have, they lift your butt (if you need it), and if you have nice legs (Note, nice legs does not mean skinny legs. Curvy legs–particularly if you have well-defined calves–are also nice legs) the close fit of the jeans is really flattering.
Go to a store and try a pair. No reason to shoot ‘em down without first seeing them for yourself.
guest
I know plenty of “big” girls who wear both skinny jeans and boots. And they look quite fine and fashionable :] Who cares what other people think anyway? As long as you think you look good in it. And if it matters that much to you, bring a friend along and get their opinion! =]
guest
ANYONE can look good in skinny jeans as long as you find a pair that look sweet as hell on you. My suggestion is that you try DARK colors instead of the ever-popular light grey skinny jeans (they don’t look good on anyone who isn’t a twig), bring your most brutally honest friend while trying them on, and look into Decree Jeans. JCPenney sells Decree jeans for $25, and they look great on curves.
guest
i know everybody has been saying that leggings dont work well and hold your shape for big girls. but it depends what made the legging. i think the better the thickness of the legging, the better it feels, like a skinny jean, but you know, softer still. it’s probably the polyester that makes it thicker.. so it may get hot when youre wearing them out in the sun, but other than that, it feels better than thin ones like those from Wet Seal.
what i dont understand is how for skinny jeans, “the tighter, the better”.. it feels uncomfortable, and most of the time, if your legs and waist arent of the “right pants proportions” it feels super umcomfortable in “tighter skinny jeans”. the skinny jeans that i have always kinda rise up when im walking and get wrinkly around the knees, so i’d have to pull them down later, but it beats wearing super tight ones that are nasty when youre sweating on a hot day.. they should hug your skin, not smother your skin.
guest
if you think you look good in skinnys, then wear them. don’t categorize yourself with the big girls who don’t look good in skinny jeans. big girls can definitely look cute in them. i know skinny people that look horrible in skinny jeans! it depends on your style and execution, not stereotpyes.
guest
I’m a curvy girl with a size 10 as the norm in my closet. I wear skinnies, because they fit right. If your skinnies fit right, and dont push the fat over them, wear it, but make sure they fit in your crotch and butt, too. And balance the top half of you with a flowy top. Also, try wearing a cute half mini skirt. Not like, crotch mini, but not knee length. Like… above knee length. In the middle-ish. With a really cute t and vest, or a blouse, you could completely rock the high boot. =D
hope that helped you out!
guest
HMM i think they is called skinny jeans fo a reason.
plusno-one likes to see tight jeans and a buldging ass/legs (personally it makes me sik and i wud die at the thought of puttin sumelse through it) I feel repulsed when i see fo ex. (5,4 140lbs) girls at collage in skirts i mean im 130lbs 5,7 and i wudnt wear a skirt bcos i dnt want to mke ppl sik so i think they is just being plane rude.
soz if dat was harsh just needed it off my chest!
guest
Fuller figures can totally rock skinny jeans with boots! Leggings look good as long as the dress/shirt are flowy and cover the butt (this goes for skinny girls too). Just make sure it’s flattering and that you feel good in what you’re wearing. Beyonce and Queen Latifah are great role models for girls with a little more to them.
guest
Girl, I have thunder thighs. And I don’t own any other jeans BUT skinny jeans. (Okay I just lied. I do but I don’t wear anything but skinny jeans) And I’ve had so many compliments. Just don’t wear a short shirt with skinny jeans. . that just looks weird as hell.
guest
Im a big girl, a uk 14 and personally i think skinny jeans just dont flatter me! but then these things vary from different body types…I wouldnt go so far as to say ALL bigger girls(not necessarily curvy, but of the chubbier variety) cant pull em off, but with our body types its better to dress according to what suits us. and no i dont mean track suits and baggy stuff. Just cuz something’s in fashion it doesnt mean everybody will look good wearing it!
buuuut saying all that ive worn skinny jeans before and if you go for the stretchier types rather than the stiffer denim then you shouldnt have any problem. lol just watch out for camel toe and muffin tops…thats always trampy!
guest
@Lucy_has_a_secret@xanga -
yu iz havin isuues. seek help.
guest
i think everyone looks good in skinnies as long as they fit. im a size 13 but to tell the truth i dont think i look fat (im 5 ft. 8). I luv my skinnies paired with a good pair of high tops! I hate it when people wear skinnies that r 2 baggy! theyre supposed to b a tight fit jean hense the name “skinny jeans”!!! and for all those people who think that u cant b over a size 5 hav u evr considered that sum ppl r athletes and actually hav muscle instead bein a twig? ill amit i could lose sum weight but im still proudly rockin my skinnies!!!!!
guest
Hey! I am a bigger girl too and I will onlly wear skinny jeans! I love them because my calfs are the smallest part of my body and I like to show em off and excentuate them. The things to watch out for so you look your best in them is to wear a tunic or a long flattering top such as a babydoll top and try to buy high rise skinny jeans because if you wear low rise skinny jeans they will be tight and give you love handles.
guest
I am a Aust size 20…which i think in american is like 16..
Regardless i love dark denim skinnies… just make sure that you wear a flowing shirt or short dress style on the top.. if you wear a fitted top and fitted bottom it can go so wrong..
I do also agree that if you are too skinny (like anorexic) than this is not the style for you.. however normal/healthy look great in them too..
just make sure they fit and your pair it with great pieces and you shall shine..
make sure you are happy and confident wearing them xxx
guest
It depends. If your really, REALLY big than your legs will look like ice cream cones in skinny jeans. But if you slim with curves than it will look good. I suggest that if you wear skinny jeans, you should wear it with knee high boots. And pick dark wash of skinny jeans. Like black.
guest
my verdict?
bigger chicks should wear whatever they want and not let ano girls tell them what to wear and not what to wear.
for the record shut the fuk up @outspoken_nessa@xanga
no one cares what you think
guest
yes u can!! i have tons fo them and im big girl size 24!!! so better get those skinny jeans ASAP! http://www.torrid.com
xD

You go girl!!!!!!! Skinny Jeans on curvy chubby or big look really good in skinny jeans. Actually Skinny Girls dont really look good in them except if you have a bit of meat on your legs. I have a friend who wears skinny jeans and they just look so bad because her ankles are like two inches long it actually looks gross i always tell her to gaain weaitg to look good but she is so skinny i dont like her skinny jeans. plus you should get the right size my other friend has a pair and she is chubby like me and here jeans look so baggy i dont like her wearing them everyone tells her to pull her pants up and shes like whatever my other friend (not a friend just a girl in my class) wears them and she is chubby too and i can tell her jeans fit better and thats becuase she has the right size dont get them to small or you cant bend and dont get them to big either or they will look funny!. Now for leggings. My mom bought a pair of legging and i never wore them because i thought i looked bad and they accoually did. my friends wore them everyday and i told her that you dont look good.
chubby girls wear skinny jeans not leggings hope this helps!!!

Skinny jeans don’t look good on everyone. Some skinny people can’t rock them and some big people can’t rock them. I would go maybe to a store that sells them, go in the dressing room and decide if you like them or not, if you care what your friends think, maybe you could take a picture and have your friends help you out.
If your completely uncomfortable with them, then go for something else. Skinny jeans aren’t the only thing fashionable, theres so many other looks you could go for, that would look great on you, and are fashionable- not saying that skinny jeans wouldn’t.(:

Hell Of course you can! im a size 15,16 and they are all that I own they make me a little more self concious but I find them more comfortable ive come to a point where I really dont care what other people think!
I got mine at Jc Pennys they acctually have alot of larger sizes I have a blue pair and a couple blacks i think that the darker looks better though! I would rather wear them with converse of flats though they make you calves look thinner than boots would

I would say that if you find skinny jeans that fit right and don’t give you muffin tops, then go for it. As for leggings, I have rarely seen a larger girl pull them off. I would go for a knee length skirt or dress with black tights or a darker colored tight. Tights have a slimming effect and enlongate your legs whereas leggings do not. Hope that helps!!! :D
