Skinnies on curvy girls: thoughts?

[redredwine]

For the first time, I'm wearing skinnies and flats today. I wear skinnies alot, but only ever with boots. I'm short and curvy-a size 10. I found a cute pair of skinnies at Target last night that actually fit great and I think I'm wearing them tonight to a concert.

But I don't want people to be all "Whoa-that chick can't pull those off. Only skinny chicks should wear skinny jeans". So, I'm seeing how I feel wearing them today at work. I have a longer sweater over them so it hides my rear a bit.

I'm like 90% comfortable with my body. But that 10% makes me a little leery. What are your thoughts S&B? I'm sure it's been discussed before...just missed the thread.

Im curvy...but tall. I wear a size 10 usually and I wear skinnies all the time. But its important that they fit right....As Marilyn Monroe once said, "Your clothes should be tight enough to show your a woman, but loose enough to show your a lady".

I like it. So far, I feel good in mine. The black ones I have aren't painted on. They're muffin top free, too (which I find very important for anyone wearing any type of bottom)

So, in order to avoid Skinnygate-Pro Boards edition, let's close the books on this one.

My bff won't wear skinny pants. She thinks its only for curvy women! She isn't very curvy so she feels that its not flattering for her figure. But I see all different women with different body types wearing skinnies. You should be fine. As long as its a comfortable fit I don't see why not!

I think they can be flattering to any body type as long as they fit well, and aren't too tight, or too loose. I hate to see skinnies that are saggy in the butt because they aren't the right size, just as much as a too-tight pair. But as long as the fit is good I think anyone can pull it off.

I really thought this was a thread asking skinny girls what they thought about curvy girls.

I wear skinnies sometimes and I love them! I'm a size 12 (and on the shorter side at 5'5").. yay big hips and soccer thighs! Haha. I like how they look on me but I think they meet the "rules" - not too tight and such.
