We all love skinny jeans, but not all have the right shape for them. Whether yours is or not, you'll probably want to try wearing skinnies at some time or another. While skinny jeans really look best on skinny people, there are some things you can do to make skinnies look good on a not so skinny you. If your hips are bigger than skinny, don't wear one of those wide belts with your skinny jeans.

Instead, wear a long, loose top or dress of some kind. A straight tunic that covers your hips would be ideal, but there are plenty of blouses, shirts and chunky cardigans to choose from, too. Go for tops made from dreamy jerseys that drape well, and make sure your skinnies have lots of Lycra for a good fit. Ankle zips will help you to get your foot through the narrow opening.

Shoes are important for the overall look of skinny jeans. Skinny people can wear tiny shoes, but if you are a bit more so, chose a chunky shoe or a boot. Tiny shoes will only make your legs look bigger by comparison. A chunky shoe or boot will give overall balance and help your legs appear slim.
