How To Wear Skinny Jeans  
HOW TO 

Tags: fashion, trend, celebrity, hot, jeans, skinny jeans, style

Skinny-leg jeans look great on models and celebrities, but can real women pull off this runway look? The answer is yes, and Cynthia Nellis explains just how.

	The most slimming look comes from skinny jeans in a dark blue or black wash.
	You don't have to go with skin-tight jeans to get the look of the trend: jeans vary from super-skinny (usually about a 10" leg opening) to a kinder, straight-leg cut (about 14" leg opening).
	One of the key elements for pulling off skinny jeans is to balance it with volume on top including dolman-sleeve tops, bell-sleeve tops or tunics.
	Disguise heavy thighs by wearing a longer, belted tunic over skinny jeans.
	Cover up thick calves by tucking skinny jeans into tall boots.
	Wear heels with skinny jeans for a leg-lengthening look; pointy-toed flats also work.
	A light or dark wash can change the look in it's entirety! A dark wash can be slimming whereas a light wash can add curves.
	Skinny jeans with a bit of a stretch to them are best, they give room to breathe and are most comfy to walk in.
	Make sure to look for skinny jeans in a shorter or longer length if needed. The jeans lose the desired effect if they don't hit right above the base of your heel.
	The tailor is your best friend! If your favorite pair of jeans is a boot cut, and you prefer a trendier skinny look, a tailor can take the base of the jean in to rework an old favorite!
	Don't be afraid to size up. Skinny jeans run small, think about it, the word skinny is in the name! To get the best fit, don't look at the size number, but at how the jean fits on your body.
