Skinny jeans - even if you are not so skinny

in ,

I love skinny jeans. They are basics in my wardrobe. They are cool and trendy, and if they are black, they add an edge to your look. But how to wear them if you are not skinny? 

Skinny jeans are made to show off your shoes, your pretty ankles - just make sure you cover the area you do not want to draw attention to (your tummy, your hips or your thighs). I avoid the hidious, colorful, housewife-tunics, and I opt for minimalstic, long pieces in neutral colours like blazers, cardigans and vests.

Love the monochrome look

Wear your skinnies with high heels - they are elongating and slimming
